When

and
systems,
the
applicable
laws
and
regulations
must
be
ob#j
served.
High-performance
engine
General
information With
a
displacement
of
3
liters,
the
high-perform#j
ance
engine
generates
a
maximum
power
of
473
hp
and
a
maximum
torque
of
457
lb
ft/620
Nm.
With
the
Competition
Pack#j
age,
the
engine
has
a
maximum
power
of
510
hp
and
a
maximum
torque
of
479
lb
ft/650
Nm.
With
its
spontaneous
response
behavior,
a
speed
range
of
wide
utility
results.
The
maximum
RPM is
7,200
rpm
and
is
electronically
controlled.
Be#j
cause
of
the
high
engine
dynamics,
the
maxi#j
mum
RPM
with
the
vehicle
stationary
is
reduced.
Warm-up During
the
warm-up
phase,
the
high-perform#j
ance
engine
has
in
increased
idle
speed
to
bring the
emission
control
system
to
operating
tem#j
perature.
Additional
information:
Tachometer,

to

Compound
brake
General
information
The
high-performance
brake
system
has
perfo#j
rated
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
With
this
vehicle,
particular
value
was
placed
on
the
direct
connection
from
engine
to
the
drive#j train.
Due
to
the
torsionally
rigid
design
of
thedrivetrain,
as
is
typical
in
a
sports
vehicle,
thetransmission
of
the
torque
also
gives
acoustic
feedback.
When
there
are
load
changes,
this
may
result
in clicking
noises.
The
clicking
noises
do
not
impair
the
operation
or
the
service
life
of
the
compo#j nents.
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
chassis
in
this
vehi#jcle
ensures
a
high
degree
of
driving
dynamics
that
is
typical
of
BMW
M.
