THE NEW BMW MOTORRAD NAVIGATOR II

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - February 12, 2004 ... Since March 2002, BMW has offered
the 'BMW Motorrad Navigator' road navigation GPS to individuals looking for
guidance on their motorcycling adventures. Now its successor, the BMW Motorrad
Navigator II, is available and features key upgrades to make it an even better
travel companion.

Faster and better performance
A significantly-faster RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) processor
combined with an integrated USB (Universal Serial Bus) connection make data
transfer from PC to Navigator easier and virtually instantaneous.
Developed in cooperation with the navigation specialists at Garmin
International, the new BMW Motorrad Navigator II now utilizes readily-available
CompactFlash(r) memory cards. Internal memory has been also expanded, now
featuring a massive 512 MB of storage space, allowing huge areas of map data to
be stored.

Simple operation
In addition to the familiar features of its predecessor, the BMW Motorrad
Navigator II offers fourteen menu languages and touch-screen capabilities that
simplify operation-finding your destination couldn't be any easier. By touching
the anti-glare screen, selecting the "Food & Drink" menu will list all
registered restaurants in your area arranged by proximity. You can even choose
food subcategories (i.e. Italian) and then select any standard navigation
function using the touch screen to get to your destination quickly.

Motorcycle-specific features
The exclusive BMW-designed Advanced Motorcycle Mount Cradle functions as an
extended operation unit specifically for BMW Motorcycle riders and features
four buttons, which can be operated while wearing gloves. The cradle also has a
supplemental audio connector, offering verbal directions in your choice of nine
languages. In addition, the BMW mount is programmed and recognized by every BMW
Navigator II when installed. BMW Motorcycles equipped with the ComSystem and
V.O.I.C.E. communication systems will benefit by the BMW Navigator II.

The sleek new design now incorporates the satellite antenna inside the BMW
Navigator II. Also unique to the Navigator II is the fuel- and
splash-resistant housing that minimizes damage from fuel vapors while
refueling.

The BMW Motorrad Navigator II is supplied with the latest MapSource(r) North
America v5 CD software for easy downloading of detailed maps of the U.S. and
Canada as well as everything necessary for automobile use, including a portable
beanbag mount, power adapter with speaker and new portable remote control. The
new Navigator II will be available in Spring 2004 from all BMW Motorrad USA
retailers and will retail for $ 1,495.00.
