IN ITS ELEMENT WHATEVER THE DISTANCE –
THE RANGE OF THE NEW BMW IX.
■ Whether a short trip to town or a longer journey, the new
BMW iX does the job with its very low power consumption
of 19.4-22.5kWh/100 km1. This, coupled with the high
battery capacity of over 76 kWh, gives you a range of
425 kilometres (WLTP)1, 2, with zero local emissions.
■ In addition, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80%
in 31 minutes at high-power charging stations (HPC).
As that's what makes electric driving fun: flexible reliability
that makes the new BMW iX absolutely suitable for long
journeys and fits perfectly into your everyday life.

HIGH PERFORMANCE IN
POWER AND CHARGING.
■ The lithium-ion high-voltage battery in the new
BMW iX incorporates the entire development expertise of
BMW. The latest generation of batteries is characterised
by a significant increase in performance and energy
density and can optimally display its high-performance
characteristics, especially during highly dynamic driving
and fast charging. The particularly long-life lithium-ion
high-voltage battery is also placed flat and safely in the
vehicle floor. In this location, it ensures a low centre of
gravity, which together with the even 50:50 weight
distribution across both axles, enhances vehicle agility
and provides ample space for passengers and luggage.

intelligent lightweight construction and aerodynamics
intelligent lightweight construction and aerodynamics
MODERN, STABLE AND WELL THOUGHT-OUT LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION IN THE NEW BMW iX.
Form follows function: The new BMW iX follows this
legendary design principle in every detail – with the aim
of combining maximum range, efficiency and dynamics
to create a unique driving experience. Aerodynamic
refinements catch the eye even at first glance, such as
the exterior mirrors integrated into the window well strips,
flush embedded door handles, and lightweight Air
Performance light-alloy wheels; even the concealed
underbody has a flat, smooth design. Here everything is
designed to glide through the air flowing past with the
least resistance – with success: the new BMW iX achieves
a sensational drag coefficient of cW = 0.25. You can even
see these aerodynamics: vertical air curtains in the front
apron guide the air flow to the wheels with the minimum
of resistance, while the black streamflow sections in the
D-pillar, characteristic of the BMW i, symbolise the
optimised air flow around the passenger compartment.
The fascination grows by the second: completely frameless
doors, slim profiles and the silhouette with visible carbon
structure in the entry and tailgate sections showcase the
weight-optimised material mix of the body. Aluminium,
carbon and high-strength steels are each used where they
contribute to a reduction in weight, an improvement in the
interior feel and handling as well as a greater range – and
thus to an experience that can be enjoyed again and again
with the greatest pleasure thanks to intelligent lightweight
construction.
The reduced styling draws attention to precisely designed
details that emphasise the high-quality character and optimised
aerodynamic characteristics of the new BMW iX.

and the power electronics must prove its worth.
This is just one of the tests in the so-called
hot-climate test, which is part of the comprehensive
development and test program of the series
development. In both the winter and heat tests,
the prototypes are subjected to the stresses and
strains of a complete vehicle life practically in
fast motion.
In extreme plus and minus temperatures, driving
on ice, snow, desert sand and gravel, experienced
BMW engineers use powerful measuring technology
on board to register all the vehicle's responses to a
wide range of weather conditions, road surfaces
and other influences. At temperatures that would
cause any mobile phone battery to discharge in no
time at all, the powerful integrated cooling concept
of the high-voltage battery proves its worth. The
drive and chassis components are also tested and
tuned to each other under extreme conditions.
For hours, a new pre-series model is repeatedly
Icy cold, shimmering heat:
Before series launch,
BMW tests its electric
vehicles under the toughest
conditions on the Arctic
Circle in Sweden and in
the South African Kalahari
Desert to ensure optimum
range and performance.
Arjeplog, 56 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle.
–26 °C. Barely bright, daylight disappears again on
the grey horizon just a few hours later. A lonely place.
Suddenly dry powder snow flies up. A new electric
BMW prototype accelerates at high speed around
the bend and over the snow-smooth road surface,
which can only be assumed to be a road. Welcome
to the BMW winter tests in the icy wasteland of
Lapland, in the north of Sweden. Here, every BMW
has to prove that it functions perfectly even under
extreme conditions.
The new electric BMW model rushes across the
mirror-smooth ice surface of a kilometre-long lake,
brake lights come on, a short swerve, the vehicle
comes to a halt – to start again immediately, to
accelerate, to brake. These are ideal conditions
for testing all the components of the BMW eDrive
technology in detail, because its components
make special demands from BMW engineers:
For example, the electrochemical processes within
the high-voltage battery run differently depending
on the ambient temperature – a fact that is being
examined in great detail here to ensure the highest
possible performance and reliability in the production
vehicle.
Change of scenery. Kalahari, Southern Africa.
Unpaved sand, gravel and scree tracks. Extreme
heat and solar radiation. Permanent dust formation.
At the highest temperatures, the integrated cooling
concept for the lithium-ion battery, the electric motor
heated in the sun and then cooled down. The
developers not only test the operability of the
electrical systems, but also the temperature
resistance of the materials in the interior. Nothing
must creak or crackle here – neither at high nor
low temperatures. The dustproofness of bonnets,
doors and flaps is also extensively tested in the
desert. When driving thousands of kilometres
through dunes, savannahs and bush land, a new
BMW may kick up a lot of dust – but it must not
let any of it get inside.
In the desert region in the northwest
of South Africa, the drive and chassis
components can be tested and
tuned to each other under extreme
conditions.

THE EXTERIOR DESIGN
OF THE NEW BMW iX.
A stroke, a word, a gesture – really great ideas
get rid of the complicated stuff so that what really
matters can shine through. The new BMW iX
with Sport package is the very embodiment of this
ground-breaking approach. Characterised by
sculptural and monolithic proportions, their exterior
design immediately draws everyone's attention.
Every detail merges with the sculpture, which is
drawn by a few lines. The result is an aesthetic that
provides a simple answer to the complex question of
unforgettable design.
“The BMW iX shows how we can
give new technologies a very
modern and emotional design.”

THE FRONT DESIGN OF THE NEW BMW iX.
The face of a new movement: what drives the new
BMW iX is more than its engine. Its design alone
encapsulates the need to make mobility easier
and more comfortable, and its front section, full of
character, creates the sort of powerful presence
and dynamics rarely seen in a vehicle.
■ Its monolithic and sculptural design principle is
already expressed in the front, which has a strong
character: at the centre is the vertical double kidney
grille, whose closed characteristics signpost the
innovative drive, as do accents on the indicated air
inlets. A strongly three-dimensional bonnet stretches
over it, flanked by particularly slender headlights –
a front view that combines dynamism and powerful
presence in an unseen way with a great deal of
sensitivity.
■ The front design is particularly fascinatingly
modern with the sports package. Closed triangular
elements emphasise the confident width of the
new BMW iX. The dynamic trapezoidal shape of the
central design element additionally underlines the
overall sporty effect.
SCULPTURAL BONNET.
■ The sculpturally shaped bonnet surrounds
the kidney, seamlessly encloses it at the top
and continues it like a turbine underneath –
which, in conjunction with the narrow
headlights, gives the front end power and
dynamism.
MODERN HEADLIGHT DESIGN.
■ The narrowest headlights ever
mass-produced by BMW symbolise the
digital intelligence of the new BMW iX.
The daytime running light has a twodimensional graphic design and underlines
the monolithic design language of the
vehicle.

THE SIDE DESIGN OF THE NEW BMW iX.
Icon of a new self-confidence: Within clearly
defined proportions, tightly modelled surfaces
form a powerful vehicle body. A deliberate reduction
of character lines and fully integrated flat door
openers allow the design language of the new
BMW iX to take maximum effect – little, but effective
is the principle here.
■ The vehicle body tapers towards the rear, creating
an elegant, dynamic silhouette. The wheel arches,
on the other hand, are framed by striking rectangular
contours, which as a self-confident graphic element
cite the wheel arches of the first BMW X models.
In between, an accent strip runs along the vehicle –
a magnet for attention that also alludes to the
innovative battery technology in the vehicle floor.
□ The sports package makes the athletic character
of the new BMW iX even more exciting. Thanks to
the high-gloss black painted side skirts and exclusive
21" or 22" rims, the side view is excitingly different
and even more dynamic.
“The monolithic design with few but
DOORS WITH FRAMELESS WINDOWS.
■ For the first time in a BMW X model,
the doors are completely frameless. This
creates a flush side graphic from the A to
the D-pillar, provides maximum support to
the new pared-down design, and gives you
a fantastic feeling just stepping into the
new BMW iX.
INTEGRATED SIDE MIRRORS.
■ For the first time, side mirrors are
integrated into the well strip: the mirror
base seems to flow from the strip to
border the side mirror from below.
ELECTRIC DOOR OPENER.
■ Integrated over the entire surface and
inlaid flat: Together with the frameless
doors, the new electric door opener create
an almost flush side view that is both
modern and dynamically elegant. An
accent strip around the handle shaft
provides a high-quality and exclusive
highlight.

DESIGN ELEMENTS IN TITANIUM
BRONZE.
□ How to draw attention: brackets in
Titanium Bronze and folded down are a
striking indicator of quality, accentuating
the self-assured width of the vehicle when
viewed from the rear. Combined with the
Sport package, the diffuser insert at the
rear gleams in high-gloss sporty Black.
NARROW REAR LIGHTS.
■ The very narrow tail lights are made in
one piece and therefore look very modern
and clear. They extend far into the rear for
maximum width effect. With their modern
interpretation of the L-shape and a strongly
contoured surface work, they have an
unmistakable effect. Especially at night,
the graphic lighting of the new BMW iX is a
visual experience.
THE REAR DESIGN OF THE NEW BMW iX
AND BMW iX WITH SPORT PACKAGE.
The striking, dynamic rear end gives the new BMW iX a
fitting finish: Without distracting small details, the modelled,
generous surface work appears particularly high-quality
and expressive.
■ In the rear apron itself, colour-contrasting elements set
a visual benchmark for the innovative drive concept of the
new BMW iX: design that makes substance visible gives
the new BMW iX its unforgettably modern appearance.
■ A flared shoulder area emphasises the self-assured
stance of the new BMW iX. This effect is further underlined
by the single-part rear lamps – the slimmest, most
streamlined lamps ever to have been fitted by BMW. The
tailgate extends across the entire width of the rear section
– without any dividing lines – and gives the monolithic
design principle a fascinating appearance.
■ The sheer pleasure of hitting the road is deeply ingrained
in the design DNA of the new BMW iX: with the sports
package, the bumper shows a fascinatingly independent
geometry. Here, the diffuser elements are painted in
body colour and underline the sporty, wide appearance
of the rear.

SHY TECH
Stylish minimalism meets cutting-edge technology
The new BMW iX combines the most innovative
technologies used today in vehicle production. At
the same time, it follows a design philosophy that
emphasises people and their need for convenience,
clarity, and simplicity. How can these needs be
reconciled? The answer lies in advanced “Shy Tech”
technology, which displays features when needed
but otherwise keeps them in the background.
The interaction of high-tech and comfort creates a
life-enhancing space, the guiding principle of the
designers of the new BMW iX. Inspired by the trend
of boutique hotels, the vehicle is designed both
inside and out with the needs of the driver and
passenger firmly in mind. These needs have also
led to the development of completely new solutions
for functional elements.
“If you're looking to create a warm, intimate
atmosphere, classic buttons, switches, and covers
simply look out of place,” says Matthias Junghanns,
Head of Interior Design BMW i. “The key concept
here is Shy Tech, which describes design solutions
that only reveal and allow certain technologies in
the vehicle to be used when the driver and other
occupants actually need them.”
Whereas centre consoles in conventional vehicles
tend to house a plethora of buttons and switches,
a glance at the new BMW iX brings out harmonious
surfaces and fascinating lines. Most functions
are controlled digitally. A few elegantly designed
buttons and switches serve as functional and visual
highlights, for Shy Tech doesn't mean you miss out
on features, but relies on a harmonious blend of
aesthetics and smart functionality to provide them.
The best example of this is the largest ever Sky
Lounge panoramic glass sunroof ever fitted by
BMW, featuring electrochromatic tinting. Its glass
can be set to clear or opaque at the touch of a
button. This means no more headliner, which not
only gives the feature a particular elegant look,
but also creates more headroom.
This approach of putting the customer's needs first
is followed not only in the interior but also extends
to the exterior, for example, in the iconic BMW kidney
grille. “Because the kidney grille no longer performs
a radiator function due to the purely electric drive,
it plays the role of an “intelligent surface” in the
new BMW iX by seamlessly integrating sensors for
assisted driving and defining the self-assured face
of the vehicle,” explains Dirk Müller-Stolz, Head of
Exterior Design BMW i. Even everyday functions
show their best side: this is why the flap for refilling
the screen wash water is located underneath the
BMW emblem on the bonnet. The function here
has also been integrated into the design in create
a modern sculpture which makes the everyday
routine easier for the driver.

THE INTERIOR DESIGN
OF THE NEW BMW iX.
Living space. Favourite place. Playground for the
senses. Absolute well-being is the maxim that
becomes reality in the new BMW iX through an
innovative design philosophy. The inspiration from
fine boutique hotels is as tangible as the endeavour
to create an oasis of attentiveness and tranquillity in
the midst of everyday life through the generosity of
space and surfaces. Selected intelligent functions
and intuitive technologies create fascinating design
highlights, but otherwise blend discreetly with an
interior that makes a clear statement: In this future,
you and your needs will be the absolute focus.
“We have designed the BMW iX as a
mobile space to enhance your quality of life.
In other words, a new 'favourite place'
in which to relax and feel at ease.”

MODERN FEEL-GOOD ATMOSPHERE IN THE NEW BMW iX
AND BMW iX WITH SPORT PACKAGE.
The frameless door opens. The fascination begins:
from the moment you get in, the new BMW iX
conveys a completely new sense of space, inviting
you to drive actively and feel at ease. Light floods
the interior through the large panorama glass roof.
The result is an ambience inspired by modern
boutique hotels.
PANORAMA GLASS ROOF SKY LOUNGE.
PLENTY OF LEGROOM.
SEATS WITH INTEGRATED HEADRESTS.
■ A vision of light, air and space: The
continuous panorama glass roof Sky
Lounge floods the interior with sunlight
and creates an inviting, friendly atmosphere
that combines the interior and exterior.
If required, the glass becomes opaque –
without a sliding roof lining.
■ Plenty of space - even for the legs: With
no central tunnel in the area under the
instrument panel, the entire interior not only
looks particularly spacious, but also offers
plenty of legroom and even a comfortable
way to get to the adjacent seat.
■ Lean back into a world of comfort and
elegance: The highly comfortable seats
of the new BMW iX are harmoniously
crowned by an integrated headrest which,
thanks to a black breakthrough, has a
particularly modern and light appearance.
In combination with the interior design
'Suite', the breakthrough in the fine colour
of gold bronze sets a particularly attractive
accent.
LOUNGE-LIKE REAR.
■ Up to three people will find ample space
and room on the wide seat. The absence
of the central tunnel and a completely flat
interior floor create increased legroom,
making every journey even more comfortable.
The pleasant upholstery with its distinctive
diagonal quilting extends all the way to the
doors, and the outer seats have integrated
headrests - everything for a very special
lounge feeling, even in the rear.
■ However, what the designers at BMW
have left out has at least as great an effect:
With no central tunnel, you are surrounded
by a feeling of inviting freedom of movement
even in the cockpit, which extends into the
lounge-like rear. Buttons and operating
elements have been reduced to the bare
essentials and fit harmoniously into an
interior that radiates peace, security and
clarity. Discover your new favourite place:
in the new BMW iX.
■ In a design of clear lines and generoussized surfaces, highlights such as the
free-floating centre console, reminiscent
of an elegant coffee table, or the virtually
free-standing BMW Curved Display catch
the eye. Highly comfortable, newly
designed seats with slim proportions
and their sustainable materiality further
emphasise this ambience.

THE COCKPIT OF THE NEW BMW iX.
Inspiringly versatile interpretations for the future: In
the new BMW iX, design and technology merge into
an experience that is more than the sum of its parts.
Even the intuitive interaction with the vehicle via
speech, gestures or touch is a source of pleasure.
Each control element, concentrated on its essential
function, blends seamlessly into the overall concept –
or creates wow-effects through a combination of well
thought-out function and fascinating form, making
every ride unique anew.
■ For example, the frameless BMW Curved Display
stands almost free-floating on the slim and flat
instrument panel like a work of art in a gallery.
Together with the BMW Head-Up Display 1, which is
harmoniously and almost invisibly integrated into the
dashboard, it forms the visual focus: all information
and functions of the new BMW iX flow into the
display, orchestrated by the continuously developed
BMW iDrive with the intelligent BMW Operating
System 8.
■ But highlights such as the iconic steering wheel –
the first time in BMW history that it has been designed
in hexagonal form - or the innovative control centre
in the free-standing centre console also make the
principle of intelligent reduction visible and tangible
in every detail.
DISPLAY UNIT WITH
BMW CURVED DISPLAY.
■ The BMW Curved Display floats almost
freely on the spacious instrument panel.
Consisting of the 14.9" Central Information
Display and the instrument panel in 12.3",
the one-piece unit is the next generation
of the human-machine interface. The
BMW Curved Display fascinates with its
information display perfectly designed for
the driver and ergonomically optimised,
intuitive operation by voice, gesture or touch.
HEXAGONAL STEERING WHEEL.
CENTRE CONSOLE CONTROL PANEL.
■ A firm grip on the future: For the first time
in the history of BMW, the new BMW iX is
steered by a hexagonally shaped steering
wheel. The racing-inspired contour of the
steering wheel optimises entry and seating
comfort as well as the view of the BMW
Curved Display, thus visually signalling the
start of a new era.
■ The centre console radiates a genuine
feel-good atmosphere. It stands freely
between the front seats and spreads the
aura of an exquisite piece of furniture.
Selected operating elements such as the
toggle switch, the central control unit and
the audio roller attract attention. The
centre console looks particularly elegant
in combination with the Clear & Bold
equipment: Here your fingers glide gently
over the finest open-pored walnut wood
and many controls in cut crystal glass.
NEWLY DESIGNED GEAR
SELECTOR SWITCH.
■ A modern toggle switch replaces the
classic gear selector switch and thus
consistently follows the idea of intelligent
reduction. All important and intelligently
arranged control functions on the centre
console can thus be operated intuitively
and conveniently.

Sustainability in focus
THINK ABOUT THE END
FROM THE START
Sustainable materials play an ever greater role
in BMW interior design. Daniela Bohlinger, Head
of Sustainability BMW Group Design, met Giulio
Bonazzi, CEO of the Italian company Aquafil, at the
site in Ljubljana. The plant produces ECONYL® yarns
from recycled fishing nets and other nylon waste.
The fishing nets, which Giulio Bonazzi spreads out
across the large table in his conference room, are
so clean that you could be forgiven for thinking they
were new. “We use a multi-step process to clean
the nets and bring them along with other nylon
waste to our chemical plant, where they are broken
down into their chemical components,” explains the
Italian yarn manufacturer. The process yields pure
ECONYL® nylon granules, which have precisely
the same composition as standard crude-oil-based
nylon. What's more, once the products manufactured
from ECONYL® reach the end of their useful life, they
are recycled, regenerated, and processed once more
to create new products. “This can be repeated as
many times as we like,” says Bonazzi. “That is what
I call true sustainability.”
BMW also uses ECONYL® yarns, for example, to
produce material for headliners and floor mats in
the BMW i3, the new BMW iX, and other models.
For Daniela Bohlinger, Head of Sustainability in
Design at BMW, this is the logical consequence of
an increased awareness of environmental issues
which plays a growing role at BMW. “It was important
for us to be able to use a recycled material as a
basis for these products. ECONYL® nylon, which is
obtained from fishing nets and other nylon waste,
has excellent properties for our purposes, comes in a
great range of colours, and is popular with designers
for its versatility, as it goes without saying that even
a product made from recycled material has to look
flawless and must have outstanding characteristics.”
Yet the openness to recycled material displayed by
luxury brands still has its limits, says Giulio Bonazzi,
though these barriers are beginning to come down.
Alongside BMW, examples of companies now
using ECONYL® nylon for their collections include
Prada and Gucci. Compared with crude oil-derived
nylon, production of the recycled material emits
90% less CO2.
Some of the discarded fishing nets are salvaged
from the oceans by divers, “that is the most emotive
part of this whole process,” says Giulio Bonazzi.
“This is the main purpose of The Healthy Seas, an
NGO set up by Aquafil and two other parties in 2013
to increase awareness of the problem of discarded
fishing nets in the sea.” Yet many of the nets recycled
by Bonazzi's company, Aquafil, in Slovenia, come
from fish farms around the world. Aquafil collects
these raw materials in two warehouses of 15,000
square metres each in Ljubljana. Here they are
cleaned and strapped to pallets. Other nylon waste,
including old carpets, fabric remnants, or plastic
parts, is also stored in these facilities. All this is
then regenerated in the chemical plant to produce
brand-new ECONYL® nylon. The recycling process
in the plant can be difficult to follow for the layperson,
as most of the chemical separation and melting
processes run unseen within a complex system of
tanks and pipes running through the plant.
First, we have to look at how waste is handled:
fishing nets, for example, are chopped into small
pieces and fed into a large tank via a moving
conveyor. But at the next station one level up,
where some of the material becomes visible outside
the silver-coloured pipes, it is already in the form of
snow-white plastic granules. Finally, the material is
fed through spinneret plates, spun into an endless
flat thread, and then wound onto large-scale spools.
shows Daniela Bohlinger an example of the type of
problems he has to contend with: “When we recycle
the fish farming nets, we need to remove the copper
oxide coating that is used to protect these nets
against algal growth. Copper oxide is not compatible
with nylon, as it has causes a lot of problems during
the chemical process. Some years ago we developed
a special method of removing copper oxide from fish
farming nets. Another challenge relating to these
nets is that of transport, as once a fish farming net
reaches the end of its useful life, it is considered
special hazardous waste, and the transport of waste
in general is highly problematic.
Another area of the plant packs very large white,
jet black, red, and blue spools of yarn onto roller
conveyors.
As a pioneer of this recycling technology, Giulio
Bonazzi operates the only plant in the world to
manufacture ECONYL® nylon yarn from waste.
His product can be recycled any number of times
without affecting its quality, because it's a closed
cycle. “Generally speaking, the automotive industry
is also heading in this direction,” says Daniela
Bohlinger. “Right from the start, we think carefully
about the entire product lifecycle and increasingly
use materials that can be recycled at their end of
ife and used for other purposes.“
The investment in emission-free drivetrains and the
economical use of materials will assist in the targets
of the Paris Climate Treaty being reached. “Our CEO,
Oliver Zipse, has made a firm commitment to meet
these targets,” reiterates Daniela Bohlinger. “We are
in the process of developing a clear strategy to
achieve this ambitious goal by 2030.”
Giulio Bonazzi has his own ideas about what it
means to make such changes in the industry. “If
I'd ever realised how difficult it would all be, I
certainly wouldn't have gone through with it,” says
the entrepreneur, who labels himself as a “crazy
guy”, with a wry smile. On a tour of the factory, he
For someone wishing to play an active part in ridding
the world of pollutants, it is difficult to understand
why the import of contaminated waste material into
a country for recycling is not permitted. But in the
end, recalls Giulio Bonazzi, he managed to persuade
the authorities. The nets, still with their cupric
coating, now lie here in the plant, ready for a second,
more benign existence as a turquoise bathing suit,
a white designer chair, or a stylish black floor mat
in a BMW.

CONSUME LITTLE,
ACHIEVE EVERYTHING: SUSTAINABILITY.
Sustainability is in the DNA of BMW, long before
the driving pleasure begins. From the selection and
processing of raw materials, through the actual
production in our plants, to recycling: BMW is
constantly developing electric mobility to keep the
ecological footprint as small as possible. This makes
driving all the more enjoyable – even for our future
generations.
SUPPLY CHAIN CONTROL.
Sustainability starts in the mind and has
a wide reach. At BMW, sustainability can
be felt in all business areas – and involves
much more than just saving CO2. From
the procurement of raw materials to the
production of electric vehicles and the
recycling of a BMW, our goal is to follow
the path towards a sustainable automotive
future step by step.

Sustainability, from the very first step.
This is where it all begins: Raw materials.
Even their procurement is an important
component of sustainable production.
That's why BMW is taking a very close look
here: Are all human rights comprehensibly
observed? Are environmental and social
standards observed? Not only do we select
our suppliers and producers particularly
critically, we also become active ourselves
in projects and measures to improve the

made a start here – since 2020 BMW only uses electricity
from renewable sources.
Leipzig plant
Shenyang plant, China
Dingolfing plant
The agile BMW i3 and the sporty BMW
i8 are built in the halls. In front of it, four
190-metre-high wind turbines circle: They
produce up to 28 gigawatts of electricity
per hour, which is stored in a battery
farm consisting of 700 recycled BMW i3
batteries.
Where the flexible BMW iX3 sees the
light of day, the sun shines down on the
BMW Group's most powerful photovoltaic
system and produces over 15 megawatts
of electricity – more than enough to make a
BMW i3 drive around 7 million kilometres.
The largest BMW plant in Europe operates
in a particularly sustainable manner:
The company's own cogeneration plant
generates electricity and heat at the same
time and covers around 50 percent of
energy requirements. The rest also comes
100 percent from renewable energy
sources.

THE MATERIAL CYCLE
OF A BATTERY CELL.
A battery cell goes through four stages of life in an
electric vehicle: Development, use in the vehicle,
second life, and battery recycling. We accompany
battery cells on their journey from their development
in the BMW Group Competence Centre to their
recycling.
Developing the battery cell technology of
tomorrow: in the Battery Cell Competence
Centre in Munich, the BMW Group searches for
the ideal chemical composition for electrodes
in a battery cell.
We can compare the development process
of a lithium-ion battery cell with baking a
cake. The cell chemistry is the recipe, while the four
ingredients are the four components: the cathode,
anode, separator, and electrolyte.
The battery cells are assembled into battery
modules and the individual battery modules
into batteries. The key phase in a battery's life now
begins, namely its use in the vehicle.
Even when the battery in the vehicle has
reached the end of its useful life after many
years, it is not the end for the batteries by any means.
In the Leipzig plant, for example, BMW i3 batteries
are used for the temporary storage of power. This
second life use means that the battery cell can be
used for another ten years on average as an energy
store.
After the battery cells are shredded, their raw
materials can be recycled. The BMW Group
develops the recycling of secondary raw materials
in the Battery Cell Competence Centre. The battery
cell's lifecycle is then complete, ready to begin again.

WELCOME TO THE BMW GROUP
PLANT DINGOLFING.
At present, the largest European BMW production
site assembles around 1,300 vehicles daily, but the
areas outside the halls are also a hive of activity
and production with up to 500,000 bees producing
honey and adding to the location's rich biodiversity.
The north side of the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing
on a sunny morning: vehicles constantly accelerating,
changing gears in a split second, decelerating – this
is the plant's test track, used daily to test the latest
BMW models. Ears that are attuned to the sound
can pick out petrol and diesel models. Now and then
a low hum can be heard, combined with tread noise,
as a pre-series model of the fully electric BMW iX is
put through its paces. The groundbreaking Sports
Activity Vehicle (SAV) will roll off the assembly lines
here from 2021.
In contrast, the scene on the east side of the premises
is quite idyllic, a biotope created by BMW itself.
Aquatic plants, flowering shrubs, and an integrated
stone plateau create the perfect conditions for insects

such as dragonflies and pond skaters to thrive.
Frogs, newts, slow worms, and grass snakes also
feel at home in this ideal habitat for a vast range of
organisms. While around 17,000 employees work in
the plant to assemble a range of models from the
BMW 3 Series to the 8 Series, up to another half
a million “workers” inhabit the grounds outside,
as 13 species of bee have made their home on the
company premises, all watched over by a BMW
employee, an expert who also sits on the management
committee of the Dingolfing Beekeepers' Association.
The bee colonies are just one of the many steps
taken by BMW to support biodiversity. Scores of fruit
trees have been planted, while grassed areas have
been transformed into flower beds and wildflower
meadows. In total, 100 nesting boxes and insect

hotels have been added. These were presented to
the Dingolfing plant by Landshuter Werkstätten
and make a vital contribution to the success of this
environmental project. Yet it is not only insects and
small birds that take advantage of this new habitat,
as perches for birds of prey are also dotted around
the grounds. Buzzards, falcons, and hawks use the
five metre high structures as a spot to which they
can retreat and observe their prey. This helps
maintain a well-balanced food chain. The basic
concept of existing in harmony with nature is evident
in many places around the company premises.
Green roof systems adorn a number of buildings.
Planted with flowering stonecrop, they offer more
than just a home for insects. This greening helps
during heavy rain, as the rainwater is absorbed by
the roof's substrate layer. It also helps temper
The BMW Group Plant Dingolfing is therefore
not only a pioneer of future technologies and
future-proof workplaces with the new fully electric
BMW iX, but is also creating ecological habitats on
the site. This is how the Lower Bavarian plant
continues not only to honour its commitment to
sustainable use of energy, water, and air, but
also to increased biodiversity. The bees are of
course oblivious to all this as they fly from flower
to flower, producing their honey from the
“Dingolfing Hive”.

SUSTAINABILITY,
TANGIBLY EFFECTIVE.
Sustainability has many facets – and each one
of them is important. For this reason, the printed
product that you hold in your hands is printed on
NAUTILUS® paper made by the manufacturer Mondi.
This uncoated paper consists entirely of recycled
waste paper, meets the EU Ecolabel requirements
among others and was certified by the Forest
Stewardship Council, an international non-profit
organisation for the protection of forests. Any
pulp that is used originates exclusively from
FSCTM-certified, sustainably managed forests.
To reduce the ecological footprint even further,
investments are being made in the Pesqueiro
hydropower plant to compensate the CO2 generated
during production, saving some 20,000 tons of CO2
emissions every year.
This results in CO2-neutral paper – a result that you
can feel but that, above all, helps to preserve our
planet's resources for all future generations.
