Specifications apply to ACEA markets/data relevant to homologation applies in part only to Germany (weight)
1) Oil change with filter
2) Limited / with optional M Driver’s Package
3) Figures not yet available

The fuel consumption, CO2 emission and electric power consumption figures are determined according to the European Regulation (EC)
715/2007 in the version applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany. The range shown considers the different
sizes of the selected wheels/tyres and the selected items of optional equipment, and may vary during configuration.

The values are based on the new WLTP test cycle and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure comparability
between the vehicles. With respect to these vehicles, for vehicle-related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2 emissions, the
CO2 values may differ from the values stated here (depending on national legislation).

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and specific CO2 emission values of new passenger cars is included in the following
guideline: ‘Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer Personenkraftwagen’ (Guide to the fuel
economy, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars), which can be obtained free of charge from all dealerships,
