1.�Introduction
The�BMW�M�brand�is�expanding.�In�addition�to�the�current�BMW�M�models�(the�5-Series,�6-Series�and
X�models),�for�the�first�time�there�is�also�a�BMW�M4�Coupe�with�the�introduction�of�the�fifth�generation
of�the�new�BMW�M3�.

Similar�to�all�BMW�AG�vehicles,�the�BMW�M�Coupe�and�the�M�Convertible�body�variants�will�also�be
marketed�as�a�BMW�4-Series�in�order�to�clearly�distinguish�this�segment�from�the�Sedans.

The�"4"�in�the�type�plate�is�a�visual�indicator�of�how�different�the�new�BMW�M4�Coupe�is�to�the�BMW
M3�4�door�Sedan�with�its�own�personality,�enhanced�sporting�character�and�more�exclusivity.

The�new�BMW�M4�Coupe�and�the�new�BMW�M3�in�the�fifth�generation�were�systematically�designed
for�lightweight�construction.�In�order�to�achieve�this�objective,�this�lightweight�construction�concept
was�consistently�applied�in�the�body�area,�as�well�as�in�the�powertrain�and�chassis�and�suspension.
A�composite�construction�with�different�material�combinations�is�used�in�the�body,�electrical�system,
in�the�chassis�and�suspension�and�the�powertrain.�Metals�such�as�steel,�magnesium�and�aluminum,�as
well�as�the�use�of�plastics�and�fiber�composites,�are�used�alternately.

In�contrast�to�the�predecessor�where�a�high-speed�8-cylinder�naturally�aspirated�engine�was�used,�for
the�first�time�in�the�BMW�M3/M4�Coupe�an�engine�with�six�cylinders�and�turbocharging�is�used�as�a
powertrain.

In�the�area�of�the�powertrain�concept,�the�BMW�M3�and�the�BMW�M4�Coupe�thus�pursue�the�same
strategy�as�their�big�brother�in�the�BMW�M�X-Series,�as�well�as�that�of�the�BMW�M5/M6,�where
turbocharged�engines�have�been�in�use�for�a�long�time.

This�combination�of�consistent�lightweight�construction�and�turbocharging�guarantees�that�power�and
agility�are�exceptional�and�enhances�the�competitive�position�of�the�BMW�M3�and�BMW�M4�Coupe.

With�success�embedded�in�the�genes,�the�new�BMW�M4�Coupe�and�the�new�BMW�M3�in�the�fifth
generation�will�celebrate�their�global�premier�in�June�2014.

The�following�components�were�modified:

• Weight�reduction�of�about�12�kg�in�comparison�to�the�previous�transmission�in�the�E9x�M3.
• Smaller�in�size�which�contributes�to�the�lower�weight.
• Improved�shifting�comfort�due�to�use�of�new�type�of�carbon�friction�lining�in�the

• Increased�efficiency�with�dry�sump�lubrication�("splash"�lubrication�and�targeted�oil�ducts�are
no�longer�used).�This�results�in�a�reduction�of�heat�development�to�the�extent�that�external

• Reduction�of�noise�level.

Engine�speed�adaptation�for�a�gear�change�(double�clutch)

The�new�F80/F82�engine�uses�speed�adaptation�for�the�manual�gearbox�(Similar�to�the�production
vehicles�with�the�B-engines�with�manual�gearboxes).�The�engine�speed�adaptation�further�highlights
the�sporting�character�of�the�new�F80/F82�and�its�motor�racing�genes.

In�addition,�the�engine�speed�adaptation�is�used�to�reduce�the�drag�torque�and�improve�the�driving
stability�in�the�dynamic�handling�characteristics�at�the�limit�range.

The�engine�speed�during�a�gear�change�is�automatically�adapted�to�the�new�transmission�ratio.
The�engine�and�the�transmission�input�shaft�thus�have�the�same�speed�when�engaging�the�clutch.
This�ensures�the�clutch�is�always�engaged�smoothly.

The�corresponding�engine�speed�is�calculated�by�the�DME�and�held�for�a�maximum�of�two�seconds.

With�M�Driving�Modes�the�engine�speed�is�adapted�at�different�rates�depending�on�the�driving�mode.

For�the�control�the�clutch�pedal�must�be�pressed�fully�when�switching.

The�engine�speed�adaptation�for�the�gear�change�is�not�active.

The�engine�speed�adaptation�for�a�gear�change�can�be�deactivated�via�the�diagnosis�system.

The�engine�speed�adaptation�includes�the�following�components�and�functions:

• New�gear�sensor�via�x-y�axle,�detects�gearshift�request�and�communicates
directly�with�the�engine�control�unit.
• Clutch�switch�is�two-stage�and�communicates�directly�with�the�DME.
• Engine�speed�adaptation�characteristic�is�based�on�the�selected�driving�mode.
• No�reverse�gear�switch�as�detection�via�gear�sensor.

The�function�of�the�engine�speed�adaptation�in�the�F80/F82�differs�to�the�F10�M5�in�the�following
point:

• No�engine�speed�recording�via�the�synchronization�unit.
• The�detection�of�the�transmission�input�speed�was�done�at�a�gear�(constant�gear)�in�the

5.1.3.�Steering�angle�sensor
The�information�on�the�steering�angle�is�not�recorded�by�the�Electronic�Power�Steering�(EPS)�and�not
via�a�separate�sensor�on�the�steering�wheel,�instead�its�calculated�based�on�the�motor�position�angle
of�the�EPS�motor�in�relation�to�the�steering�wheel.

The�EPS�transmits�the�position�of�the�rack�to�the�ICM�control�unit�via�FlexRay.�During�this�process,
the�EPS�calculates�the�absolute�position�of�the�rack�based�on�the�current�motor�position�of�the�EPS
motor�and�the�number�of�complete�revolutions�performed�by�the�motor�starting�from�the�zero�position
(straight-ahead�driving�position).

Taking�this�position�as�the�starting�point,�the�ICM�control�unit�determines�the�wheel-specific�steering
angle�among�other�things�using�the�stored�ratio�parameters�(rack�to�wheel-specific�steering�angle)�and
transmits�this�via�FlexRay.�This�wheel-specific�steering�angle�is�used�by�the�DSC�among�other�things
as�a�reference�variable�for�internal�control�functions.

In�cases�where�the�absolute�value�is�not�available�from�the�EPS�(loss�of�Terminal�30,�flash�process),
the�absolute�value�is�determined�through�interaction�between�the�ICM�and�EPS�using�an�adaptation
function�in�which�the�steering�wheel�is�turned�from�end�stop�to�end�stop�(e.g.�straight-ahead�position�-

System�function

The�Electronic�Damper�Control�(EDC)�is�a�variable,�electronically�controlled�shock�absorber
adjustment�system�that�controls�the�vertical�dynamics�of�the�vehicle.�The�front�axle�damper�and�rear
axle�damper�can�be�controlled�independent�of�each�other.�The�EDC�adapts�the�damping�forces�of�the
shock�absorber�more�or�less�instantly�to�the�changing�road�or�driving�conditions.

The�Electronic�Damper�Control�(EDC)�is�installed�with�the�optional�equipment�SA�2VF�"M�sports
suspension".

The�EDC�consists�of:

• four�continuously�adjustable�shock�absorbers�with�coupled�rebound/compression�stage
adjustment
• the�VDM�control�unit
• two�wheel�acceleration�sensors�on�the�front�axle�to�determine�the�wheel�movement
• two�wheel�acceleration�sensors�on�the�rear�axle�to�determine�the�wheel�movement
• a�sensor�cluster�integrated�into�the�ICM�control�unit�which�determines�the�body
movements�(pitch,�vertical,�roll).

83
F80/F82�Complete�Vehicle
5.�Chassis�and�Suspension
The�sensors�in�the�vehicle�permanently�measure:

• the�body�and�wheel�acceleration
• the�current�lateral�and�longitudinal�acceleration
• the�vehicle�speed
• the�steering�wheel�position

Based�on�this�measured�data,�the�VDM�control�unit�calculates�the�control�commands�to�be�sent�to
the�electromagnetic�valves�in�the�shock�absorbers�for�each�individual�wheel�according�to�the�road
profile�and�driving�situation.�This�means�that�the�damping�forces�will�always�be�applied�according�to
the�requirements.

This�improves�ride�comfort�and�also�increases�driving�dynamics.

This�improves�the�vehicle's:

• Suitability�for�long-distance�journeys
• Enhanced�body�stability�and�agility
• Improves�driving�safety�by�minimizing�wheel�load
fluctuations�and�reducing�the�stopping�distance.

and�the�F06�M6�in�"Sport+"�mode.

Program�description

• "Comfort"�emphasizes�the�comfortable�design�in�the�F80/F82�in�order�to�satisfy�the�comfort
requirements�of�a�M3/M4�Coupe�customer.�The�damper�hardness�is�set�to�comfortable.
• "Sport"�supports�a�dynamic�and�sporty�driving�style�with�increased�damper�hardness.
• "Sport+"�in�the�F80/F82�means�that�dynamic�control�now�also�takes�place�here,�whereby�the

6.1.2.�Advantages
The�following�advantages�come�with�the�use�of�a�li-ion�starter�battery,�which�were�decisive�for�the�use
of�this�technology�in�a�high-performance�vehicle�like�the�F80/F82:

• Weight�saving:
Also�here�in�the�area�of�the�starter�battery�the�concept�of�the�intelligent�lightweight
construction�in�the�new�F80/F82�was�pursued.�With�the�use�of�the�li-ion�starter�battery�the
weight�of�the�starter�battery�was�able�to�be�reduced�by�about�12.5�kg.�The�li-ion�starter�battery
only�weighs�14�kg�in�comparison�to�a�conventional�AGM�90�Ah�battery�with�about�26.5�kg.
• CO2�saving:
A�CO2�saving�can�be�achieved�with�a�higher�automatic�engine�start/stop�function�(MSA)
availability.�With�a�conventional�lead-acid�battery�the�regeneration�capacity�is�not�as�high�as
with�a�li-ion�battery�as�a�result�of�the�intelligent�generator�control.�The�li-ion�starter�battery�can
absorb�considerably�higher�currents�in�a�shorter�time�for�charging�in�comparison�to�the�lead-
acid�battery.�This�makes�it�ideal�for�use�in�vehicles�with�intelligent�generator�control�(IGR).

86
F80/F82�Complete�Vehicle
6.�General�Vehicle�Electronics
• Life�cycle:
The�number�of�available�full�cycles�for�li-ion�battery�is�14�times�higher�than�for�a�conventional
lead-acid�battery.�The�li-ion�battery�is�therefore�the�optimal�alternative�for�use�of�the�automatic
engine�start/stop�function�(MSA)�in�conjunction�with�the�intelligent�generator�control�(IGR).
The�battery�life�is�also�about�twice�as�high�as�the�traditional�lead-acid�battery.
• Maintenance-free:
Maintenance-free,�as�no�maintenance�is�required�after�topping�up�with�distilled�water
(not�with�AGM�batteries).
• Ideal�voltage�level:
With�the�use�of�lithium�iron�phosphate�cells�(LiFePO4),�which�have�a�nominal�voltage�of�3.3�V
per�cell,�a�nominal�voltage�of�the�li-ion�starter�battery�of�13.2�V�could�be�achieved.
• Very�high�intrinsic�safety:

Integrated�electronics�"Battery�supervision�circuits"

The�integrated�electronics,�the�so-called�battery�supervision�circuits�(BUE),�are�responsible�for�the:

• Communication�via�LIN�data�bus�with�FEM/DME
• Diagnostics
• Wake-up�function�via�FEM�via�LIN�data�bus
• Current�monitoring�of�the�individual�cells�and�battery
• Closed-circuit�current�monitoring
• Voltage�monitoring�of�the�individual�cells�and�battery
• Cell�voltage�adaptation�with�counter�function�via�passive�system�(resistance)
• Startability�monitoring
• Temperature�monitoring�with�resulting�temperature�model
• Internal�resistance�monitoring
• State�of�charge�monitoring
• Battery�condition�monitoring
• Battery�capacity�monitoring
• Data�memory�for�battery�information
• Activation�of�the�battery�isolating�switch�in�the�event�of�a�fault.

The�battery�supervision�circuits�use�the�plug�connection�of�the�IBS.�This�is�why�there�is�no�IBS
installed�in�the�F80/F82.�All�functions�of�the�IBS�are�assumed�in�the�F80/F82�by�the�battery
supervision�circuits.

The�battery�supervision�circuits�cannot�be�replaced�separately�and�are�only�offered�together�with�the
battery.

Battery�isolating�switch

The�battery�isolating�switch�(relay)�is�present�twice,�whereby�it�is�a�redundant�system.�This�means�in
the�event�of�failure�of�one�switch�(relay)�the�second�battery�isolating�switch�(relay)�assumes�the�task.

The�battery�isolating�switch�is�activated�by�the�battery�supervision�circuits�and�is�responsible�for
protecting�the�li-ion�cells�from�external�and�internal�influences�in�the�event�of�a�fault.
