equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is
therefore also described, for example the sej lected special equipment or country variant.This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant laws and regulations when using the corresponding
functions and systems.
V8
high
performance
engine General
The V8 high power engine generates a maxij
mum power of 423 kW and a maximum torque
of 750 Nm from 4.4 litres of capacity. With its
spontaneous responsiveness, a very broad usable engine speed range is produced. Themaximum engine speed is electronically regujlated at 6800 rpm. Due to the powerful enginedynamics, the maximum engine speed is limijted when the vehicle is stationary.
Driving
hot During the engine warm-up phase, the V8 highperformance engine runs slightly more roughly
due to the emission control.
When the engine is cold, the exhaust has a
slightly metallic undertone, depending on the
system.
Other information for hot driving: engine speed counter, see page 96, and engine oil temperaj
ture, see page 96.
M
compound
brakes The high performance brake system has ventij
lated compound brake discs.Depending on design requirements, function
noises may occur when braking. However, this has no effect on the performance, operational
safety and stability of the brakes.
Braking
correctly
To keep the brake system in optimum condij tion, it is desirable to load them at regular interj
vals depending on the nature of the vehicle.
Drivetrain
The xDrive four-wheel drive system permaj
nently and variably distributes torque between the front and rear axles. In this vehicle, the
combination of xDrive and Dynamic Performj ance Control provides a high level of drivingdynamics which is typical of BMW M.
Activating M Dynamic mode make it possibleto increase dynamics and steering precision
even more at all speeds.
Driving
on
a
racing
track
The higher mechanical and thermal loads inj
volved in driving on racing tracks lead to inj creased wear. This wear is not covered by thewarranty. The vehicle is not conceived for usein motor sports competitions.
Before driving on a racing track, have the vehij
cle checked at a Service Partner of the manuj
facturer or another qualified Service Partner or
a specialist workshop.
The standard brake pads and the wear disj
plays are not designed for racing track operaj
tion.
Further information and advice can be obj tained from a Service Partner of the manufacj
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.Seite 196Driving

haust fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle. Danger of injury or damage to propj
erty. Do not drive with the tailgate open.'

This situation, known as aquaplaning, means
that the tyre can actually lose contact comj
pletely with the road surface and the vehicle
can neither be steered nor the brakes properly
applied.
