Maastricht. The 30th edition of TEFAF Maastricht, one of the most important art and antique fairs worldwide, will take place from March 10 to 19, 2017. As in previous years, the BMW Group will be a supporting partner of the fair. To this end, the BMW Group will provide a fleet of BMW 7 Series as Courtesy Cars offering transport for the fair’s guests of honour. 

“TEFAF is in the top ten of the largest art fairs in the world and this edition will be as impressive as before”, said Peter Haug, Marketing Director of BMW Group Netherlands. “The TEFAF organization is as perfectionist as ever which makes us want to connect the BMW brand to this prestigious event for another three years. Until 2019 the fair’s guests of honor are assured to experience the same level of perfectionism in the cars and their drivers.”

The BMW 7 Series Courtesy Cars.

The BMW 7 Series BMW Group Netherlands provides are 'L' versions, with a longer wheelbase with engines ranging from the Plug-in Hybrid 740Le and gasoline V8 750Li to the ultimate quad-turbo diesel 750Ld. Some cars are equipped with the optional Executive Lounge interior with two separate, fully adjustable back seats with massage function. Each Courtesy Car ensures maximum comfort thanks to the air suspension and Executive Drive Pro, which recognizes bumps in the road via a stereo camera and prepares the suspension accordingly. 

The BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors and TEFAF 2017  

Apart from courtesy car fleet, a visit of the Buitenplaats Kasteel Wijlre – home of the collection of Jo and Marlies Eijck - is part of BMW Group Netherlands activities during TEFAF 2017. The collection is listed in the latest BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors, which presents 256 private yet publicly accessible collections of contemporary art — featuring large and small, famous and the relatively unknown. Succinct portraits of the collections with countless color illustrations take the reader to more than forty-three countries, often to regions or urban districts that are off the beaten path. 

270 renowned galleries from all over the world contribute to making TEFAF a display of the most important artistic works on the market. Since 2001, TEFAF has been a partner of the BMW Group, which supports numerous other art fairs worldwide including Art Basel, Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Basel Hong Kong, Frieze London, Frieze New York, Paris Photo as well as initiatives such as Gallery Weekend Berlin. BMW Group further maintains long-term cooperations with cultural institutions and artists the world over supporting projects such as BMW Tate Live, Preis der Nationalgalerie and BMW Art Cars.

About BMW Group’s Cultural Commitment

For almost 50 years now, the BMW Group has initiated and engaged in over 100 cultural cooperations worldwide. The company places the main focus of its long-term commitment on contemporary and modern art, classical music and jazz as well as architecture and design. In 1972, three large-scale paintings were created by the artist Gerhard Richter specifically for the foyer of the BMW Group's Munich headquarters. Since then, artists such as Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Daniel Barenboim, Jonas Kaufmann and architect Zaha Hadid have co-operated with BMW. Currently, female artist Cao Fei from China and American John Baldessari are creating the next two vehicles for the BMW Art Car Collection. Besides co-initiatives, such as BMW Tate Live, the BMW Art Journey and the “Opera for All” concerts in Berlin, Munich and London, the company also partners with leading museums and art fairs as well as orchestras and opera houses around the world. The BMW Group takes absolute creative freedom in all its cultural activities – as this initiative is as essential for producing groundbreaking artistic work as it is for major innovations in a successful business.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
