Efficient Dynamics

EfficientDynamics is a set of technologies that are defined by BMW in its products to maximise performance, reduce CO2 emissions and reduce fuel consumption.[1]

Common rail injection

BMW's common rail injection involves managing the fuel injection at every stage from pre injection to delivery with one common rail. This improves fuel delivery and power delivery.[7]

Stop start engine

The stop-start feature will automatically switch off the engine when the car is idling at a complete stop. This reduces fuel consumption while idling for extended periods. The engine automatically switch on when the brake pedal is released, turning your steering wheel (which activates power steering), or shifting from park.

Brake regeneration

The alternator is charging the battery only when the car is braking, coasting or decelerating[8]

Air vent control

The air vents in front of the radiator grille will open up to allow for air to cool.they will automatically close if it is not in used, reducing air resistance and fuel consumption.

Electric power steering

The power steering is only active when the steering wheel is turning. If it is kept in a constant location or place, the electric power is inactive.
