Figures just released highlight that BMW Motorrad UK's entire dealer network
has outperformed new registration targets for the first financial quarter - a
tough objective in a static market. The company's sales figures (1225 new
registrations) are up by 34% to the end of March whereas the overall market
figure is down by 7%. This performance has helped place BMW as the fifth
largest motorcycle brand in the UK.

An upturn in sales of new BMWs has also led to improved availability of used
stock, making the time right to re-launch BMW's Approved Used Bikes (AUB)
scheme. This programme is designed to offer true benefits to customers who buy
into the BMW brand.

Imagine having the choice of purchasing a previously owned motorcycle offering
all of the benefits and services associated with a brand new bike, but at a
reduced cost. The BMW Approved Used Bikes programme offers precisely that -
and so much more.

Every BMW Approved Used Bike is prepared to BMW AUB standards and will have
undergone a fully checked service history where possible. A 12 month MOT; 12
months Road Fund Licence; a full tank of fuel and a minimum of 12 months
manufacturer's warranty certifies how BMW's AUB programme gives complete piece
of mind when buying a used BMW motorcycle. Additionally, the AUB warranty
includes BMW's Emergency Service roadside and emergency aid operating 24 hours
a day and 365 days a year throughout the UK and Europe.

BMW Motorrad UK's Authorities and Approved Used Bike Manager, Barry Pharoah,
said: "The dealer network now has fantastic resources available to customers
such as the newly redesigned BMW AUB internet site search facility
(www.bmw-dealernet.co.uk) and new and improved links through the Motor Cycle
News website (www.motorcyclenews.com). With the AUB scheme, BMW is committed
to providing an exceptional service for its customers and delivering the most
comprehensive programme available in the motorcycle market today."

All BMW Approved Used bikes are available for testing by prospective
customers. For further information about the AUB programme, or to find out the
location of their nearest BMW dealership, customers can call 0800 777 155 or

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
