2018 BMW iPerformance Brochure

A Force‍‍‍ of Nature.

How does a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle become an Ultimate Driving Machine?

Not many hybrid vehicles are engineered to take your breath away. To punch you back in your seat with racer-like torque, handle like a sports car, or cruise like a luxury sedan. To fit your daily routine while changing the way you live. That’s the power of iPerformance. It’s the BMW you’ve always wanted. Only more.

Intelligent Energy Management.

Charging.

Whether at a conventional household power socket or using the BMW i Wallbox from the comprehensive range of 360° ELECTRIC products and services – charging the high-voltage battery of a BMW iPerformance plug-in hybrid couldn’t be easier.

You can also top up while you’re out and about at one of many ChargEV public charging stations.

Intelligent energy management is one of the main pillars of the BMW eDrive Concept. This system coordinates the interaction of all drive components to combine the best possible efficiency with great driving dynamics.

In situations in which the combustion engine would have low power efficiency, the system actually makes it produce additional power to create electricity for the battery via the electric motor/generator, which can later be used for electric driving or to efficiently support the combustion engine. It also controls the electric motor / generator, so that kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy during coasting and when braking.

The eDrive button allows the driver to choose between several eDrive modes:

AUTO eDrive: The intelligent BMW EfficientDynamics system determines the most efficient combination of electric motor and combustion engine usage depending on driving speed and battery charging status.

MAX eDrive: Purely electric mode. The driver can press the accelerator to its full extent without activating the combustion engine on to a top speed of 120 km/h. When greater power is required, the combustion engine can be switched on any time via the gear lever or by pressing the accelerator to kickdown.

Save Battery / Battery Control: When battery charge is low, this mode enables the battery to be charged by the combustion engine or allows the charging status to be maintained. This way, the driver can save the battery capacity for pure electric driving later.

Adaptive (740Le only): With the destination keyed in to the navigation system, predictive energy management analyses the planned route to optimize electric driving mode usage to best maximise overall efficiency.

In Malaysia, ChargeNow service is available for all BMW iPerformance plug-in hybrid owners.
