In this chapter, all pr oduction, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. For this reason, descrip-
tions will be given of some equipment that may
not be available in a vehi cle, for example due to
the special options or national-market version
selected. This also app lies to safety related
functions and systems.

To activate it, press the accelerator down all the
way.
M Engine Dynamics Control
The concept
Die M Engine Dynamics Control permits you, at
the push of a button, to have your BMW react in
an even more sporty fashion when driving:
> Optimal use is made of the engine's speed
range.
> The engine reacts mo re spontaneously to
accelerator pedal movements.
> Cruise control:
The stored speed is reached more quickly.

In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. For this reason, descrip-
tions will be given of some equipment that may
not be available in a vehi
cle, for example due to
the special options or national-market version

Tachometer
If at all possible, avoid engine speeds in the yel-
low advance warning zone, arrow 1.
Absolutely avoid engine speeds in the red
warning field, arrow 2. In this range, the engine
speed is limited to protect the engine.
Engine oil temperature
When the engine is at normal operating temper-
ature, the engine oil temperature is between
approx. 210 7/100 6 and approx. 300 7/
150 6.
If the engine oil temperature is too high, a warn-
ing lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
Fuel gauge
Fuel tank capacity: approx. 14 US gal/53 liters.
You can find information on refueling on
page 30.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies for a longer period,
when you are driving in mountainous areas, for
example, the indicator may fluctuate slightly.

Reserve
Refuel as soon as possible once your
cruising range falls below 30 miles/
50 km, otherwise engine functions are not
ensured and damage can occur. <
Once the fuel level ha s fallen to the reserve
zone of approx. 2.1 US gal/8 liters, the indicator
lamp and cruising range for the remaining
amount of fuel are displa yed briefly. The indica-
tor lamp remains permanently on when the
remaining range is less than approx. 30 miles/
50 km.

Driving stability control
systems
Contrary to the descript ion in the Owner's Man-
ual for Vehicle, your BMW 1-Series M Coupe is
not equipped with Dyna mic Traction Control
DTC.
Dynamic Stability Control DSC
DSC optimizes driving stability and traction. In
addition, the system recognizes unstable driv-
ing situations such as understeering and over-
steering, and helps keep the vehicle on a safe
course within physical lim its by reducing engine
power and applying the brakes on individual
wheels.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed,
even with DSC. An appropriate driving
style always remains the responsibility of the
driver. Therefore, do no t reduce the additional
s a f e t y m a r g i n a g a i n b y t a k i n g r i s k s , a s t h i s c o u l d
result in an accident.<
M Dynamic Mode MDM
M Dynamic Mode is a mode of the Dynamic
Stability Control DSC that permits greater
longitudinal and latera l acceleration when
driving on dry surfaces, yet with reduced driving
stability. Only at the absolute limit of stability
does the system intervene to stabilize the vehicle by reducing engine power and applying
the brakes on the wheels. In such situations,
additional corrective steering maneuvers may
be necessary.
M Dynamic Mode is switched off every time the
engine is started.
When the M Dynamic Mode is on, stabi-
lizing measures are pe rformed to a limited
degree only. Take acti on yourself, otherwise
there is a risk of an accident. <
To maintain vehicle stability, drive with
the DSC activated and the
M Dynamic Mode deactivated whenever possi-
ble. <
Activating MDM
Push the button: the indicator lamps for MDM
and DSC OFF light up.
For better control
The indicator lamps MDM and
DSC OFF light up and the indicator
lamp DSC flashes:
M Dynamic Mode is controlling the
drive and braking forces.
The indicator lamp DSC lights up: DSC
and M Dynamic Mode have failed.
