BMW Group presents itself with the film industry in an international
cooperation.

Cannes/Munich May 15 marks the start of the 61st International Film Festival in
the eternally glamorous town of Cannes on the coast of southern France. The BMW
Group is right in the middle of things, a competent partner for the German,
European and global film industry.

The Munich-based company has a long tradition of cooperation with the film
industry: alongside classic product placements, the BMW Group has also
consistently supported the rise of young film talent both in Germany and world
wide.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, the BMW Group is the local partner of the
European Film Promotion (EFP), the Rome Film Festival, the Quinzaine des
Réalisateurs, Next Generation from German Films and the German Short Film
Association, AG Kurzfilm.

Producers on the Move - Europe's young producers in Cannes
The BMW Group is partnering the European Film Promotion (EFP) in Cannes this
year, supporting the organisation in all events related to the festival. As in
previous years, the principal EFP event is Producers on the Move, an event at
which over one hundred young European film producers are introduced and
distinguished in the presence of international media and representatives of the
film industry.

Rome Film Festival reception in Cannes
The Rome Film Festival brings a touch of Italian flair to the French
Mediterranean resort: In cooperation with MINI Italy, the BMW Group is this
year's international partner of the film festival in the Italian capital,
alongside the activities in Cannes. MINI Italy has supported the Rome Film
Festival since 2006, and will continue the cooperation this year also.

40 years Quinzaine des Réalisateurs
The Quinzaine des Réalisateurs (Directors' Fortnight) section of the SRF French
Directors' Society celebrates its fortieth anniversary in Cannes this year,
taking place from 15 - 25 May. Jointly with BMW France, the BMW Group is
cooperating with the Quinzaine for the second time, but on a much more
extensive basis this year. The company will also be supporting the 40-year
jubilee celebrations of the event, with the brand new Sports Activity Coupé,
the BMW X6, right at the centre of the festivities.

German Films on the Riviera
The BMW Group has partnered the Next Generation short film programme from
German Films since 2005. This event, which launched in 1998, presents a
selection of recent German film college productions at the Cannes Film
Festival. This year the programme includes the BMW funded productions Mein
Robodad from the Bauhaus University of Weimar and the short film Dunkelrot from
the Hamburg Media School, which has already garnered the Max Ophüls Award.

Short films with a sea view
Short films are also the focus of the reception organised by BMW on 17 May 2008
(invitation only) on the terrace of the Quinzaine. The BMW Group has been a
member of the German Short Film Association AG Kurzfilm for 3 years,
sustainable supporting the growth of the German short film industry both in
Germany and abroad. For the first time this year, short films have been given
an official forum in the festival programme, giving a further boost to the
panache and diversity of the festival as a whole.
