Official BMW Release: Introducing progressive new models offering that Sheer Driving Pleasure so typical of the brand and at the same time allowing conscientious use of natural resources, BMW is making a signifi cant statement at the 79th International Geneva Motor Show 2009.

The range of technologies upgraded to production standard as part of the
BMW Effi cientDynamics development strategy is indeed greater than ever
before, helping to reduce both fuel consumption and emissions and enhance
the driving experience to an even higher level. At the same time the public

The 2009 Geneva Motor Show marks the European debut of the new
BMW Z4. As a modern interpretation of the classic roadster, this unique car
combines its dynamic driving potential not only with sporting and elegant lines
as well as supreme driving comfort, but also with the impressive economy
of its six-cylinder power units.

The new BMW 730Ld also making its public debut in Geneva sets a new
standard for effi ciency in the luxury class. Yet a further highlight is the
BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid offering an outlook at the fi rst hybrid
model based on the BMW 7 Series, which will reach production level in
the course of 2009.

A further outstanding achievement in the context of BMW EfficientDynamics
is the development of particularly fuel-effi cient diesel engines reducing
emissions to a minimum. The most fuel-effi cient and lowest-emission model
within BMW’s portfolio presented in Geneva is the new BMW 116d powered
by a 85 kW/115 hp four-cylinder diesel engine and consuming an average
of just 4.4 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 64.2 mpg imp, in the EU test cycle.
The CO2 emission rating of the new BMW 116d is equally impressive at
118 grams per kilometre.

Offering optional BMW BluePerformance technology, the BMW 330d is the
only car in the premium segment to already fulfi l the EU6 emission standard
today.
