BMW ACHIEVES MILESTONE: DELIVERS 500,000th CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - March 19, 2007... BMW of North America today announced a
significant milestone for its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Vehicle Program,
delivering its 500,000th certified pre-owned BMW to a retail customer.

BMW of North America introduced its CPO Program in 1996, and has consistently
maintained its luxury market-leading position for the past seven years. In
2006, a record 80,373 BMW brand CPO vehicles were sold, an increase of nearly
10 percent over 2005.

"It's amazing that we have been selling Certified Pre-Owned BMWs for more than
a decade," said Bill Bates, Manager of Pre-Owned sales at BMW of North
America. "The success of the Pre-Owned BMW business is a textbook example of
what happens when there is a true partnership between BMW dealers in the United
States, the sales company (BMW of North America), the finance company (BMW
Financial Services)."

Bates also notes that consumers are increasingly recognizing CPO vehicles as a
low-risk, high-reward proposition.

Certified Pre-Owned BMWs offer a number of benefits to the customer including:

* Every Certified Pre-Owned BMW is backed by a special BMW Protection Plan
which provides coverage for up to two years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes
first);

* The Warranty is administered by BMW of North America, LLC, ensuring that
covered repairs are performed by BMW-trained technicians using only genuine BMW
replacement parts;

* To be eligible for enrollment in the Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program,
vehicles must be in service for at least six months or have less than 60,000
miles on the odometer and must pass extensive certification checks by BMW
factory-trained technicians; and

* Certified Pre-Owned vehicle owners are given around-the-clock roadside
assistance protection at no additional cost.

The BMW CPO Program holds the luxury segment "Best Residual Value Award" in
2007 from the industry bellwether Kelley Blue Book.
