M DESIGN GRAPHIC.

New application process for exciting contrast paint finishes.

M design graphic.New application process for exciting contrast paint finishes.

A very special kind of individualisation: The optional M design graphic is available exclusively for the BMW M4 Coupé and the BMW M4 Competition Coupé. This unique contrasting paint finish on the bonnet and boot lid accentuates the distinctive sports car character. The two expressive colours Black high-gloss and Red high-gloss are available.


BMW M4 Competition Coupé: Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 9.8 (WLTP); CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 224-223 (WLTP)

HIGH-TECH.

The highly innovative application method without masking.

The M design graphic is based on a highly innovative application method that allows several paint colours to be used and designs to be applied without stencils or masking the vehicle – the overspray-free painting process. This technology not only delivers an impressive result, it also contributes to sustainability by reducing waste and energy consumption.

THE PROCESS.

The BMW Group developed the new application process in collaboration with mechanical and plant engineering firm Dürr, based on its EcoPaintJet Pro applicator. The difference: In the conventional procedure, paint is atomised by a rotating bell with 35 to 55,000 revolutions per minute and adheres electrostatically to the body. The new method works without electrostatics, relying instead on jet application: The paint is applied using an orifice plate that enables high edge definition with a variable paint thickness of between 1 and appr. 50 millimetres. This requires maximum precision from both the robot and application technology.

SUSTAINABLE.

Until now, custom designs like the M design graphic can only be realised using manual masking. With the new technology, this step is no longer necessary. It thus saves time and, by eliminating the masking foils, also resources. This innovative process also prevents so-called overspray, i.e. excess paint particles, which therefore no longer has to be disposed of. A further contribution to sustainable production comes from lower energy consumption: Since paint separation is no longer required, the amount of air needed is also lower. At around 7,000 operating hours, this results in energy savings of more than 6,000 megawatt hours and reduces the carbon footprint by nearly 2,000 tonnes per year.

    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/.
