Active Air Stream kidney grille

The Active Air Stream kidney grille opens and closes the air vents in the radiator grille according to the cooling requirements of the engine, the brakes and the air conditioning. At the same time, the system’s movable slats reduce air resistance when closed, thereby improving aerodynamics.

BMW Laserlight

In laser high-beam mode, BMW Laserlight illuminates a range of up to 600 m, nearly twice as far as that of conventional headlights. Better visibility in the dark significantly increases safety. Blue accents and the lettering "BMW Laser" in the headlight also underline the technological standards and the sportiness of the vehicle.

M carbon-fibre roof

As part of the intelligent lightweight construction concept, the M carbon-fibre roof significantly helps to reduce the vehicle's weight. It consists of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and is 800 g lighter than the standard roof. That way, the centre of gravity of the vehicle is shifted downwards and the driving dynamics are increased.
