BMW model upgrade measures for the summer of 2017.

Munich. From the summer of 2017, greater diversity in
the engine portfolio of the new BMW 5 Series, an extended range of
standard equipment for many models as well as new functions and
additional options in the areas of light technology, operation,
comfort and connectivity will enhance the attractiveness of the BMW
vehicle range. Starting in July, the Sedan and Touring models of the
new BMW 5 Series will be available in a new entry-level variant
featuring a four-cylinder petrol engine. Furthermore, there will be a
choice of two additional diesel engines with four or six cylinders respectively.

The BMW 2 Series Tourer and the BMW X1 will be equipped with a
further enhanced petrol engine with 3 cylinders. The extended range of
standard equipment features will comprise, inter alia, further driver
assistance systems and a multifunction instrument display for the
BMW 7 Series and the ConnectedDrive navigation package for the BMW X5
and the BMW X6. All model variants of the BMW 3 Series Sedan and
Touring will in future come with LED headlights and light alloy wheels
as standard equipment. In keeping with their dynamic character, the
most powerful diesel or petrol models will now be offered at least in
the Sport Line equipment configuration.

As from July, the Control Display of the iDrive operating system will
feature in many additional models a functional menu boasting a
sophisticated tile arrangement with animated live graphics. Moreover,
it will also be possible to use the central monitor as a touch screen
if the vehicle is equipped with the navigation system Professional or
with the option Navigation or Navigation Plus respectively. The
functional range of the traffic situation display Real Time Traffic
Information has also been further enhanced. The new hazard warning
system is based on intelligent networking and car-to-car
communication. The digital parking space search service On-Street
Parking Information is now available in seven additional European cities.
