DRIVE

Powerful, compactly designed single-cylinder engine for an ideal combination
of dynamic riding fun and a high level of efficiency.

The
entire drive unit of the new BMW mid-size scooter has been completely newly
developed and includes a directly integrated CVT gearbox as well as a secondary
drive in the form of a drivetrain swing arm. The liquid-cooled single-cylinder
engine has a capacity of 350 cc, derived from an 80 mm bore and a 69.6 mm
stroke. Its rated power output is 25 kW (34 hp) at 7 500 rpm and the maximum
torque of 35 Nm is reached at 6 000 rpm. The maximum engine speed is 8 800 rpm.

Like all BMW Motorrad drives, the engine of the new mid-size scooter features
a carefully conceived overall design as well as a space-saving arrangement of
all ancillary units and the integrated CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission)
gearbox. With the aim of providing a highly compact scooter drive with optimum
mounting position, a liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine has been created with
a horizontal, forward-facing cylinder. This makes for a low installation
position of the engine: this is favourable in terms of the vehicles overall
centre of gravity while at the same time allowing for the step-through in the
riders leg area that is typical of a scooter.

With an output of 25 kW (34 hp) and a maximum torque of 35 Nm, the drive of
the new BMW C family member provides the perfect basis for dynamic riding
performance and excellent pulling power. Aimed at achieving optimum efficiency,
its design also results in a pleasantly low engine speed level, high gas
velocities, efficient combustion and minimized friction. This thoughtfully
designed overall conception makes the new single-cylinder engine highly
efficient.



SUSPENSION

Newly developed suspension with rugged
tubular steel frame for excellent handling as well as outstanding comfort and
ride stability.
The foremost aim in developing the suspension of the new BMW Motorrad
mid-size scooter was to combine excellent handling qualities and a high level of
comfort with directional stability at high speeds and the robustness required
for day-to-day use.
The frame is a torsionally stiff tubular construction supplemented with a
solid cast iron unit in the area of the swing arm bearing. This gives the
overall combination of this hybrid structure an extremely high degree of
stability.
With a wheelbase of 1 565 mm, a steering head angle of 63.8 degrees and a
castor of 81 mm, the new mid-size scooter has basic geometrical suspension data
that are quite similar to those of a motorcycle. On the road, the sophisticated
overall conception of the suspension is reflected in easy manoeuvrability 
especially in urban traffic  and a high level of ride stability when travelling
swiftly along country roads or at even faster speeds on the motorway.

ELECTRICAL

High-performance electrical system in CAN bus technology.
The electrical system of the new BMW Motorrad mid-size scooter is based on
the well-established system to be found in other BMW Motorrad models. It is a
CAN (Controller Area Network) bus system. This means that the instrument
cluster, the ABS and engine control unit, the electronic immobiliser and the
optional alarm system (DWA) are all interconnected.
A power socket in the right-hand storage compartment comes as a standard
feature. A mobile phone can be charged here during travel, for example, while at
the same time being connected to the BMW Motorrad Communication System in the
riders helmet via Bluetooth. The alternator with an output of 316 watts ensures
an efficient and stable power supply in all operating conditions. The 12-volt
battery has a capacity of 9 Ah, thereby offering considerable reserves. The
wiring harness of the new BMW Motorrad midsize scooter is designed in such a way
that all optional electrical equipment features such as heated grips and the
alarm system can easily be retrofitted ex works; this also applies in the case
of optional accessories or individual optional equipment items.

Highly luminous lighting technology as standard.
Seeing and being seen is particularly crucial for scooter riders. This is why
the lighting technology of the new BMW Motorrad mid-size scooter features highly
luminous LED technology. The optional daytime riding light (countryspecific) in
the new C 400 GT likewise features LED technology. The front and turn indicators
are organically integrated in the trim panel.




DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS

Dynamic, distinctive styling by BMW Motorrad.
The new C 400 GT features the unique BMW Motorrad styling. Modern and
future-oriented in appearance, it perfectly exemplifies the BMW Motorrad design
philosophy. The front silhouette is dominated by the aerodynamically designed
twin LED headlight with the distinctive design of the LED daytime running light
(country-specific) in the form of fibre optic elements. This sets the new BMW
Motorrad mid-size scooter clearly apart from its competitors, giving it a
particularly classy, functional and dynamic look.

The smooth, aerodynamically motivated designed with accentuated body edges
also embody lightness, dynamic performance and touring proficiency.

In line with its comfortable yet dynamic character, the new C 400 GT also has
turn indicators into the body elements at the rear.
Meanwhile so-called bash plates  side trim elements at the front 
underscore the new Gran Turismo among the mid-size scooters membership of the
BMW Motorrad family. The LED turn indicators are integrated in these, too 
another unique styling feature. The twin-tipped engine spoiler with integrated
radiator grille is also a clear reference to BMW motorcycle design. The
distinct, dynamic styling of the new mid-size scooter is also to be seen in its
uncluttered cockpit layout.

Excellent wind and weather protection and sophisticated ergonomics.
The
windshield, which is higher than that of the C 400 X, was developed with the aim
of increasing possible wind and weather protection as well as reducing wind
noise to a minimum. It is rigidly mounted on the trim and provides perceptible
relief for the riders upper body, thereby enabling lengthier rides at higher
speeds. The optional accessory program also allows the new C 400 GT to be fitted
with a higher windshield.

The seat height of the new C 400 GT is 775 mm: here the aim is to ensure
perfect integration of taller riders, too. With a view to ensuring the best
possible comfort, the seat surfaces for rider and passenger are each designed as
individual seats, which especially benefits the passenger in terms of
ergonomics. The new C 400 GT also has a separate rider backrest. A seat with a
reduced height of 760 mm is available as an optional accessory.

In conjunction with a favourably designed step-through and broad,
ergonomically shaped handlebars, this makes for very simple and straightforward
controllability and a focused, sporty seating position oriented towards the
front wheel for dynamic scooter fun. Both the riders and passengers feet rest
on comfortable footboards integrated in the body.




Generous storage space with two storage compartments and flexcase.
Although it is intentionally designed in an athletic style, the generous
storage space of the new C 400 GT also makes it perfect for shopping trips into
town, riding to work and even lengthier tours.

The flexcase under the seat provides ample room for storage. It comprises a
flap in the rear base which can be opened to provide a downward extension of the
storage space. This versatility is enabled by the use of a highly rigid but
pliable material based on Kevlar that creates a flexible yet dirt-resistant,
waterproof and more durable connection between the flap and the rear base.

This unique storage solution developed and patented by BMW Motorrad is able
to accommodate an integral helmet and a jet helmet when the scooter is parked.
The BMW flexcase is closed during travel.

In the front section of the step-through there are two additional storage
compartments, each of which is opened by means of a button. In conjunction with
the standard equipment item Keyless Ride, both compartments are locked
automatically with the scooter itself. Keyless Ride controls the following lock
functions: ignition, handlebars, seat, fuel filler cap and storage compartments.
In the right-hand storage compartment  large enough to hold an iPhone 6/7, for
instance  there is a 12-volt power socket for electronic devices. A USB adapter
is also available as an optional accessory.

The new C 400 GT can also be fitted with a luggage bridge (optional
accessory) for transportation purposes that enables attachment of a topcase
(also an optional accessory).

Attractive paint finishes with distinctive character qualities.
The new C 400 GT has a classy, contemporary look while at the same time
coming over as functional and dynamic. Its trim parts with their pronounced
smoothness and aerodynamic design highlight the scooters compact styling.

At its market launch, the new BMW Motorrad mid-size scooter will be available
in three different paint finishes. Alpine White impressively highlights the
distinctive styling of the new C 400 GT. This fresh color with a sense of
lightness also emphasises the new Gran Turismos key qualities such as agility,
easy accessibility and effortlessness.

As an alternative, the paint finish Moonwalk Grey metallic bears out the
supreme, contemporary and harmonious character of a dynamic Gran Turismo. This
paint finish gives the new C 400 GT a particularly modern touch, harmonising
with the contrast colours applied to create a pronounced high-quality yet at the
same time coherent overall appearance. The third paint finish is Blackstorm
metallic, which highlights the distinctive, high-quality look of the C 400 GT.
