features
and
options
This chapter describes all standard, country- specific and optional features offered with theseries. It also describes features that are notnecessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due
to the selected options or country versions.
This also applies to safety-related functions
and systems. When using these functions and systems, the applicable laws and regulations
must be observed.
V8
high-performance
engine General
information
With a 4.4 liter displacement, the V8 high-perj
formance engine generates a maximum power of 567 hp and a maximum torque of 553 lbft/750 Nm. With its spontaneous response bej
havior, a speed range of wide utility results. The maximum engine speed is 6,800 rpm and
is electronically controlled. Because of the
high engine dynamics, the maximum engine speed with the vehicle stationary is reduced.
Warm-up
During the engine warm-up phase, the V8 high-performance engine has a somewhatrougher running behavior because of the emisj
sion controls.
When the engine is cold, the exhaust system
has a slightly metallic undertone due to the naj ture of the system.
For more information about the warm-up proj
cedure: Engine speed, refer to page 111, and
engine oil temperature, refer to page 111.Compound
brake
The high-performance braking system has
perforated compound brake discs.
Because of particular structural characteristics,
there may be operation-related noises during
braking. The functional noises have no effect
on the performance, operational reliability, and
durability of the brake.
Drivetrain
The xDrive all-wheel-drive system establishes a permanent variable torque distribution to the
front and rear axles. The combination of xDrive and Dynamic Performance Control in this vehijcle ensures a high degree of driving dynamics
typical for BMW M.
With the activation of the M Dynamic mode,
dynamics and steering precision can be inj
creased even more in all speed ranges.
Driving
on
racetracksHigher mechanical and thermal loads during
racetrack operation lead to increased wear.
This wear is not covered by the warranty. The
vehicle is not designed for use in motor sports competition.
The standard brake linings and the wear indij cators are not designed for racetrack operaj tion.Seite 206Driving
