DIAMOND.

Why Diamond?

Diamond is by far the toughest material you can work with. In the form of thin domes, it remains rigid for perfect recreations of high frequencies with minimal distortion.

Developed under lab conditions, the diamond dome tweeters are fitted in the top range studio speakers from Bowers & Wilkins – and in BMW 5, 7, 8, X5, X6, i7, iX as well as M models M5, M6, M8, X5 M and X6 M.

A milestone in the high-performance field.

Nautilus speakers from Bowers & Wilkins are international design icons and to this day ground-breaking for the audio industry. Inspired by this innovation, the spiralling diffusion channels soak up the reflected sound from the back of each tweeter, thereby the resonance is kept to a minimum – for a powerful sound experience in your BMW M.

    Due to regular software updates, screen designs in the communication may differ from the actual screen design in your car.

    Official data on power consumption and electric range were determined in accordance with the mandatory measurement procedure and comply with Regulation (EU) 715/2007 valid at the time of type approval. In case of a range, figures in the NEDC take into account differences in the selected wheel and tire size; figures in the WLTP take into account any optional equipment. WLTP values are used for assessing taxes and other vehicle-related charges that are (also) based on CO2 emissions, as well as for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies, if applicable. Where applicable, the NEDC values listed were calculated based on the new WLTP measurement procedure and then converted back to the NEDC measurement procedure for comparability reasons. For newly type-tested vehicles since 01.01.2021, the official data no longer exist according to NEDC, but only according to WLTP. For more information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures, see https://www.bmw.com/wltp.

    For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
