Z4 Children's Vehicle Now Available for 3-5 Year Olds

WOODCLIFF LAKE, New Jersey, November 19, 2002... Young enthusiasts can indulge
in the thrill of driving a BMW roadster made just for them. BMW is introducing
the Z4 Children's Vehicle this fall, a reproduction of the all-new BMW Z4
roadster that went on sale October 26. This sporty kid's vehicle is destined
to be the envy of the neighborhood, and will be sold at BMW's 340 dealerships
nationwide.

The single-seater Z4 Children's Vehicle is available in a pedal and electric
version, powered by 6V batteries. It is designed for children from about three
to five years of age (up to 66 pounds) and features an adjustable seat to
accommodate growing bodies.

First on the market is the Z4 pedal car, due at BMW dealers in November 2002,
shortly after the grown-up version arrives in showrooms across the U.S. At a
mere 16.5 pounds and with adjustable pedals for children of different heights,
the self-propelled vehicle offers unlimited hours of entertainment. The
suggested retail price is $189.

Early next year, a battery-powered model joins the line-up, offering children
one and a half hours of continuous driving pleasure before needing to be
recharged. Weighing in at approximately 25 pounds, it can reach a top speed of
about two and a half miles per hour and runs in both forward and reverse
gears. A battery charger is included.

Made to last for many years, the BMW Z4 Children's Vehicle's sturdy design
features a chassis made of painted steel tubing and a body made of highly
resistant non-toxic plastic. Parents will also be pleased to know that both
versions come largely preassembled.
