SPRING FEVER: BMW TURNS UP THE HEAT WITH DRIVING SCHOOL UPGRADES

Calling all Enthusiasts - New 'Real Roads' and 'Other-Roads' Tracks among Key
Enhancements

Spartanburg, SC - April 12, 2007... Spring is in the air at the BMW Performance
Center and Performance Driving School with updates to existing courses and
exciting new driving school offerings. Additions include a track extension
adding a different dimension to the high-performance M School that rivals
popular race tracks, an "other-roads" course to showcase the capabilities of
the X5 Sports Activity Vehicle, and the return of BMW on Location. A totally
new complement of motorcycle courses will also debut later this summer.

"The updates and improvements we've made to our numerous offerings this year
will captivate the customer. There's something for everyone - BMW owner or
not," says David Trimble, manager of driving programs and events for the BMW
Performance Center. "High performance courses like the M School simulate race
track driving while teaching advanced car control and safety skills. Our
other-roads track enhancements are phenomenal with gravity-defying angles that
will dispel the myth that a luxury brand like BMW isn't made to get dirty."

In with the New: Exciting Upgrades for 2007
The ultimate driving experience has gotten even better with the extension of
the track at the BMW Performance Driving School, already known for its course
that can be configured 35 different ways. The new 1.5 mile long track offers a
half-dozen more configurations with a true race track feel that allows for more
high speed approaches and slower technical turns simulating a multitude of
driving conditions.

The newly revamped other-roads course will be included as part of the two-day
school offerings this spring. At 1.4 miles long with more aggressive sections
at 34 degrees and higher, the new course teaches drivers the safest approaches
to difficult-to-navigate terrain and shows off the extensive capabilities of
the X5 vehicle.

Based on its popularity in 2006, BMW on Location, the traveling program that
brings the BMW Performance Driving School to the backyards of enthusiasts has
plans to go back to the California Speedway this fall. In addition to
California, dates are being scheduled for early September in Chicago. The "On
Location" driving school teaches exercises ranging from accident avoidance
maneuvers and car control skills to more advanced exercises including skid pad,
autocross, and high speed lane change and slalom courses.

In addition to the new driving school updates, programs such as the Performance
Center Delivery will continue throughout 2007. The complete experience
provides an introduction to the BMW brand and heritage. During a one-on-one
session with a knowledgeable BMW delivery specialist, owners receive a
personalized and thorough introduction to their vehicle. Every aspect of the
BMW ownership experience is reviewed, from vehicle warranties and maintenance
to safety features and controls. Following an in-depth overview of their BMW,
owners receive a hands-on driving session. The package is complete with a
visit to the BMW museum (subject to availability), overnight accommodations at
a local first class hotel and dinner for two.

Gift certificates are available for each driving program. For more
