Woodcliff Lake, NJ - June 8, 2006... In the fall of 2005, BMW announced an
industry first with the application of HD Radio (TM) technology as an option in
its 2006 7 Series and 6 Series models. This innovative technology is available

This digital technology, developed by iBiquity Digital Corporation, provides
one of the most significant advances in radio broadcasting history. This
technology offers radio broadcasters and listeners enhanced digital audio
quality and clear, noise-free reception. Many AM and FM stations across the

in analog and digital formats.
The benefits of the HD Radio (TM) broadcast include:
• Enhanced sound quality on digital AM stations.
• CD-like sound quality on digital FM stations.
• Clear reception with no static noise, hisses or pops.
• Possibility to receive streamed data, including artist and song information,
from those radio stations that provide such content within their digital
broadcast.
More than 800 radio stations in the US are currently broadcasting primary
signals in HD Digital, reaching 75% of the U.S. population, expanding to 1200
stations and 90% of the population by the end of this year. A list of radio
