BMW ADDS REAL TIME TRAFFIC INFORMATION TO ITS NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Navigation Systems In Select 2007 BMWs Enhanced With Traffic and Rerouting
Information For Major Metropolitan Areas Across The U.S.

New Benefit Added At No Additional Monthly Cost To Customer

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - September 7, 2006... Underscoring its commitment to
delivering industry-leading service, technology, and innovation, BMW today
announced the availability of Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI). This new
premium service feature will offer timely traffic information and for the first
time on any production vehicle sold in the United States, dynamic rerouting on
navigation systems in select 2007 BMW models, ie. the X5, M5, M6, and the 3, 5,
and 6 Series models. Set to launch this September, RTTI represents the
company's latest addition to its list of premium consumer features and
benefits.

"As an independent company deeply rooted in innovation, we are extremely
excited to add RTTI to our robust suite of offerings," said Alan Harris, Vice
President of Aftersales for BMW of North America. "At no recurring cost to the
customer, RTTI transforms the navigation system from an option that is mainly
used only when customers are lost or going to an unknown destination, to a
daily benefit that helps them reach their destinations more efficiently and
effortlessly than ever before. We will continue to seek groundbreaking ideas,
technologies and features that give drivers peace of mind and improve the daily
driving experience."

Unlike other automobile manufacturers that charge a recurring monthly fee for
RTTI, or require customers to pay for an additional satellite radio service,
BMW has included RTTI as part of the cost of the navigation system for select
2007 BMW models. There are no activation fees or recurring monthly charges to
BMW customers for 4 years.

BMW's new RTTI service will be available in as many as 44 major metropolitan
markets through Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network, Clear Channel Radio's
award-winning programming and technology service that delivers Real Time
Traffic Information directly to vehicles over its extensive network of FM radio
stations.

With the help of Clear Channel's broadcast network, customers no longer have to
search for traffic reports on radio stations to be in-the-know about traffic
situations. Up-to-date traffic information is compiled from a variety of
sources including FM radio stations, highway-embedded sensors, video monitors
on bridges and roadways, and local traffic monitoring centers. Traffic data is
then streamed to a dedicated tuner in the car's radio and transferred directly
to the navigation system. So customers can receive traffic updates from a
variety of stations, 24 hours a day, seven days a week-even when the radio is
turned off or when the customer is listening to other entertainment sources
such as a CD or iPod. The navigation system calculates the best route
considering the traffic incidents and potential delays. In addition to alerting
the driver to where the traffic is, if the delay is calculated to be more than
5 minutes then the navigation system will offer alternative routes around the
congestion, either automatically or at the choice of the driver.
