• Weight�advantage�in�comparison�to�the�predecessor�transmission�from�the�E9x�M3
approximately�26�lbs
• Smaller�size�and�thus�lower�weight
• Improvement�of�the�shifting�comfort�thanks�to�use�of�new�type�of�carbon�friction�lining�at�the

• Reduction�of�noise�level
• Increase�in�efficiency�with�dry�sump�lubrication�("splashes"�in�the�oil�deleted,�targeted�oil

checking�for�cleanliness�and�where�possible�competent�repair.
• The�workbay�at�which�a�M�DKG�is�opened�must�be�extremely�clean�and�protected�against

Brake�noise

• Humming�of�the�BMW�M�compound�brake�disc�at�high�speeds
• Squeaking�brakes�shortly�before�coming�to�a�stop
• Hooting�in�the�event�of�wet,�cold�BMW�M�carbon�ceramic�brakes
• Cracking�noises�from�the�area�of�the�BMW�M�compound�brake�discs�when�hot.

Explain�to�the�customer�at�this�point�that�such�noises�occurring�temporarily�or�in�specific�situations�are
inherent�in�the�design�and�do�not�represent�a�quality�problem.�They�are�a�consequence�of�the�special
performance�of�the�brakes�and�do�not�pose�any�danger�or�risk�of�damage.

Point�out�that�the�customer�can�use�his/her�braking�technique�to�help�prevent�the�noises�occurring
or�ensure�they�quickly�disappear�again.�For�example,�after�washing�the�vehicle�it�is�important�to�dry
the�brakes�out�by�braking�(braking�a�few�times�from�31�mph�to�0�is�sufficient).�Or�that�the�brakes�can
have�a�tendency�to�squeak�if�they�go�through�long�periods�when�they�are�only�exposed�to�light�braking,
which�is�why�braking�hard�a�few�times�can�help�out�(=�higher�brake�temperature).�After�driving�the
vehicle�very�hard�and�subjecting�the�braking�system�to�high�loads�(high�brake�disc�temperatures)�the

to�keep�the�brakes�on�the�first�time�the�vehicle�comes�to�a�stop.�As�a�result�of�the�increased�material

vehicles�which�are�designed�for�fast�and�dynamic�driving�and�embody�a�racing�pedigree.�The�specially
designed�brakes�make�possible�the�high�braking�performance�required�by�the�vehicle�and�in�so�doing
generate�larger�amounts�of�dust�due�to�the�greater�levels�of�friction.�The�brake�dust�tells�the�customer

The�Michelin�Pilot�Sport�Cup�2�tires�are�designed�for�maximum�dry�performance�and�offer�significantly
more�potential�for�longitudinal�and�lateral�acceleration�and�for�steering�precision�than�comparable
standard�tires.�They�have�an�asymmetrical�tread�pattern�with�a�high�positive�pattern�share�(large

must�be�informed�about�this�by�an�additional�sheet�as�an�appendix�to�the�purchase�contract�when
purchasing�the�F87�CS.�The�Michelin�Pilot�Sport�Cup�2�tires�have�the�following�properties�and�thus
advantages:

• High�tread�depth:�Improved�wet�grip�and�thus�later�aquaplaning�tendency.�This�means
greater�safety�on�wet�roads.
• Two-component�technology:�Two�different�rubber�compounds�on�the�outer�side�and
inside�of�the�tire�tread�surface.�The�tire�outer�side�consists�of�highly�linked�elastomers�which
offer�optimum�grip�and�abrasion�protection�in�particularly�tight�corners.�The�tire�inner�side
comprises�hard�elastomers�which�improve�steering�precision�and�offer�optimum�grip�on�wet
road�surfaces.

The�following�must�be�observed�before�intensive�race�track�use:

• Always�check�the�condition�of�the�tires�for�wear�and�possible�damage.
• Warm�up�the�tires�by�driving�moderately�for�a�few�laps.

• The�optimum�tire�pressure�of�the�Michelin�Pilot�Sport�Cup�2�is�between�33�psi�and�39�psi�at
the�front�and�rear.
• Never�drive�with�a�tire�pressure�of�less�than�28�psi.

Observe�the�following�after�race�track�use�and�before�driving�on�public�roads:

• Adjust�the�tire�pressure�recommended�by�the�vehicle�manufacturer�on�the�cold�tire.
• Allow�the�tire�to�cool�down�before�making�corresponding�tire�pressure�adjustments.
• Always�check�the�condition�of�your�tires�to�make�sure�that�they�comply�with�the�legal
regulations�for�use�on�public�roads.
• If�the�driving�dynamics�systems�were�deactivated,�activate�these�again.

TIRE�PRESSURE�RECOMMENDATIONS

The�correct�tire�pressures�for�approved�tire�sizes�can�be�found�on�the�door�post�of�the�driver's
door.�Further�information�about�tire�pressures�is�described�in�the�Owner's�Handbook.�The�pressure
specifications�apply�for�tires�at�ambient�temperature.

ATTENTION

• If�the�Michelin�Pilot�Sport�Cup�2�tires�are�not�used�for�an�extended�period,�it�is�recommended
to�remove�the�wheels�from�the�vehicle�and�to�reduce�the�tire�pressure�to�half�the�usual�value.
• The�tires�should�be�stored�in�a�clean,�dry�and�dark�location�in�accordance�with�the
recommendations�from�Michelin�and�at�temperatures�above�32�°F.
• The�use,�storage�or�handling�of�Michelin�Pilot�Sport�Cup�2�tires�at�ambient�temperatures
below�14�°F�should�be�avoided.�Elements�of�the�rubber�compound�may�be�damaged�under
these�conditions.�This�will�impair�the�performance�characteristics�of�the�tire�and�may�even
cause�cracks�or�breaks�in�the�tire�tread�which�make�further�use�of�the�tire�impossible.
• Never�use�a�tire�that�has�cracks,�breaks�or�other�damage�on�the�tire�tread�or�sidewalls.�In�case
of�doubt,�the�customer�should�consult�BMW�Service.
• In�the�case�of�intensive�race�track�use,�the�tires�or�tire�casing�may�become�damaged�after
extended�driving�and�frequent�driving�over�the�curbs.
• The�tires�must�be�checked�carefully�if�they�have�been�frequently�driven�over�curbs�or�the
vehicle�has�left�the�track.�In�such�a�case,�it�is�necessary�to�remove�the�tire�from�the�wheel�in
order�to�inspect�both�the�outer�and�inner�sides�of�the�tire.
• A�visual�check�of�the�tires�must�be�performed�after�every�“run”�and�before�returning�to�the
track.

can�also�be�preconfigured�in�the�MDrive�menu�and�selected�via�the�corresponding�M�button�on�the

System�function

The�Electronic�Damper�Control�(EDC)�is�a�variable,�electronically�controlled�shock�absorber
adjustment�system�that�controls�the�vertical�dynamics.�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�Dynamic�Damper�Control�(EDC)�comes�with�the�standard�equipment�SA�2VF�"Adaptive�M

The�EDC�consists�of�the�following�components:

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

The�sensors�in�the�vehicle�measure�the�following:

• Body�and�wheel�acceleration
• Current�lateral/longitudinal�acceleration
• Vehicle�speed
• 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
requirements.

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