TechnologyVehicle
features
andoptions
This
chapter
describes
all
standard,
country-spe#jcific
and
optional
features
offered
with
the
series. It
also
describes
features
and
functions
that
are
not
necessarily
available
in
your
vehicle,
e.g.,
due to
the
selected
options
or
country
versions.
Thisalso
applies
to
safety-related
functions
and
sys#j
tems.
When
using
these
functions
and
systems,
the
applicable
laws
and
regulations
must
be
ob#j
served.
High-performance
engine
General
information With
a
displacement
of
4.4
liters,
the
V8
high-performance
engine
generates
a
maximum
power
of
600
hp,
with
Competition
Package
617
hp,
and
a
maximum
torque
of
553
lbs
ft/750
Nm.
With
its
spontaneous
re#j
sponse
behavior,
a
speed
range
of
wide
utility
re#j
sults.
The
maximum
engine
speed
is
7,200
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
high-per#j formance
engine
has
a
somewhat
rougher
run#j
ning
behavior
because
of
the
emission
controls.
During
the
engine
warm-up
phase,
the
start
oc#j
curs
at
an
increased
idle
speed,
which
leads
to increased
exhaust
system
noises.
Additional
information:
Tachometer,

to
page

Compound
brake
General
information
The
high-performance
braking
system
has
per#j
forated
compound
brake
discs.
Due
to
the
specific
layout,
temporary
functional
noise
may
occur
after
an
extended
minor
brake
load.
The
functional
noises
have
no
effect
on
the
per#j
formance,
operational
reliability,
and
durability
of the
brake.
Correct
braking
To
prevent
functional
noises,
it
is
expedient
to
apply
the
brakes
hard
a
few
times
in
regular
in#j
tervals.
Ensure
that
the
traffic
situation
permits the
brake
operations.
With
moisture
on
the
brake
discs,
the
brake
sys#j
tem
may
be
operated
dry
to
prevent
noise.
Drivetrain
The
M
xDrive
all-wheel-drive
system
establishes
variable
torque
distribution
to
the
front
and
rear
axles.
The
combination
of
M
xDrive,
active
M
dif#j ferential,
and
an
Adaptive
M
suspension
in
thisvehicle
ensures
a
high
degree
of
driving
dynam#j
ics
that
is
typical
of
BMW
M.
