BMW prepared a special Vision EfficientDynamics Concept especially for the Frankfurt Motor Show and today we present you the official details surrounding this new machine.

This is the perfect mix between M3’s performance and a low fuel consumption. According to the automaker the car can go from 0 to 62 in only 4.8 seconds and scores 62.6 mpg on the E.U combined test cycle.

Compared to the 3.0-liter engine on the 335d, this concept uses only half of that boasting with a three-cylinder 1.5-liter turbodiesel matched to a six-speed DCT delivering 163 hp and 214 lb-ft of torque.

The Vision EfficientDynamics Concept uses a new strong hybrid system and apparently BMW will pull the plug on the two-mode hybrid system coming with the new X6.

In order to celebrate this event, Mini will invite the SE 50 Mayfair and 50 Camden to the party and will get a special placard on the nose and ear-splitting audio system.

In addition to all that, the stands will show off the entire Rolls-Royce line (Ghost incl.) next to BMW’s Efficient Dynamics fleet including the ActiveHybrid 7 and Active Hybrid X6 models.

Have fun and don’t forget to wish MINI Happy birthday!

For the drivetrain, we will get 2 options: a naturally aspirated or twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that are on the 328i and 335i, with an M version packing the M3′s V8 and a carbon fiber roof. BMW will make a few adjustments in the name of style to make the Z4 coupe stand out even more. In 2009 BMW will lose the soft top Z4 in order to leave the folding hard-top one as their only sibling.

Z2, another ghost in the fog, is being worked at and could come to us in both coupe and cabrio flavors. As for the equipment under the belt they will have BMW’s EfficientDynamics system and will be powered by either a naturally aspirated or turbocharged 2.0-liter four. Also we heard about a hybrid version with BMW’s eDrive system. BMW isn’t letting us down and keep putting out beautiful cars.

The 335d and X5 xDrive35d will come running on a 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel rated at 265 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque thanks to a 6-speed Steptronic automatic. Now, the sedan will reach 60 mph in only 6 seconds while the SAV will go there only in 7.

Even if the details were not established, the manufacturer said that both cars will qualify for the IRS Alternative Motor Vehicle Tax Credit. Until then you should know that the shipment of vehicles will be on the roll before January.

We don’t know for sure what engines will be on the list for sell, but one of them will be for sure the new V-12 that will be equipped on the new 7 Series and on the Rolls-Royce sedan. If Mercedes will buy this engine it will most likely throw it under the hood of the S-Class and of the Maybach.

Draeger didn’t even give us a clue about other car manufacturers that approached BMW about their engines, but who knows. If sharing technology between such big rivals was taken by the heads of BMW like any other trade, I guess we will be seeing more of this.
