BMW compact cars include a new design for
four-door sedans. The 330i rides on an expanded rear-wheel-drive (RWD)
platform with longer wheelbase and wider track to enhance chassis
dynamics and hone handling.
Revamped six-cylinder engines apply, including a lightweight 3.0-liter
plant for 330i rated at 255 hp. A new all-wheel-drive (AWD) version
with BMW's xDrive system is labeled as 330xi.
The compacts also carry sophisticated electronic vehicle controls
adapted from BMW's 5-Series, such as Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
with added features and the Head Protection System (HPS) air bags.

Performance Sports Sedan |

View our 5 Series Inventory Now!
Ultra performance cars from BMW continue with the
arrival of a new M5 model promising massive firepower. Nomenclature for
the series employs the alphabetical designation of M, as in muscle. The
number 5 signifies BMW's mid-size 5-Series car based on a 550i sedan.
All of the thrust for new M5 stems from a 5.0-liter V10 that blows the
doors off with 507 hp and massive torque through a seven-speed
sequential manual gearbox (SMG) which charts both automatic and manual
shift programs. BMW projects the zero-to-60 time for this new super car
to clock around four seconds.

| BMW 7 Series Full-Size Luxury
Sedan |
|
A face-lift marks BMW's full-size 7-Series
luxury/performance sedans and with it comes two powerful engines.
Models include the V8-powered 750i and stretched 750Li, plus V12
versions of 760i and 760Li.
These line-topping cars bring sophisticated electronics governing power
production and vehicle stability, and dazzling interactive voice
commands for operating navigation, climate and communication equipment.
Updated 7-Series models project a new kidney grille with revised
fascias fore and aft plus xenon high intensity discharge (HID)
headlamps. Also evident on the body are refined lines and more chrome
highlights.
The V8 engine employed by 750i and 750Li expands in displacement from
4.4 to 4.8 liters to deliver 360 hp. The 12-cylinder engine for 760i
and 760Li carries forward with a 6.0-liter aluminum plant that develops
408 hp and features BMW's Valvetronic system plus fully variable
bi-VANOS camshaft controls. Both engines mate with a six-speed
automatic with shift-by-wire technology.

| BMW 6 Series Mid-Size Luxury
Coupe And Convertible |
|
Mid-size 645Ci models -- a hardtop coupe or soft
top convertible -- switch to a new name as the 650i due to a new
powertrain aboard with engine Start/Stop button. The 4.8-liter V8
generates 360 hp with transmission choices including a ZF six-speed
electronic automatic with Steptronic manual mode.
High-tech hardware aboard includes Active Roll Stabilization (ARS) to
reduce body roll and optional Active Steering Control (ASC) that can
vary the steering ratio to match a driver's style and pavement
conditions. A plush cockpit features articulated bucket seats and
trimmings in leathers and hardwoods.
There are luxurious appointments and power controls with memory
settings, plus electronic tools like BMW's computerized iDrive
controller. The coupe carries a vast panorama glass moonroof but the
convertible gets a one-button automatic mechanism to fold the lid into
a slot behind the cabin and seal it with a rigid metal tonneau cover.

includes four-door sedans, a five-door sport wagon plus two-door coupes

First ashore for 2006 are the next generation of designs for 3-Series

chassis dynamics and hone handling traits.
Revamped six-cylinder engines drop into these cars, including a
lightweight 3.0-liter plant for 330i rated at 255 hp and a version for
325i scoring 215 hp. New AWD versions with BMW's xDrive system are the
sedans 325xi and 330xi, plus the 325xi sport wagon with AWD exclusively.
