United Way Leadership-Sears BMW

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – A BMW with driving dynamics, compelling style, and versatility; the BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo.

With the BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo, BMW opens a new segment in the automobile market by incorporating BMW driving dynamics, quality, and style into a new type of vehicle. As was the case with the BMW X5 as the world’s first Sports Activity Vehicle and the BMW 1 Series, to this day the only rear-wheel-drive premium small car, BMW is again developing a new market segment and giving additional driver groups the unique experience of The Ultimate Driving Machine.

The BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo is the production-destined rendition of the Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) development idea. For the first time, this concept car combines the looks and appearance of a sporty BMW Sedan, a modern Sports Activity Vehicle, and a classic Gran Turismo. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo is its combination of stylish quality, luxurious comfort, and remarkable convenience.

As the name indicates, the BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo is the ideal car for long journeys while still offering a dynamic driving experience in everyday traffic or short jaunts. The design of the body presents the character of a BMW dedicated to sporting performance.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – December 13, 6:00PM EST 2008… Poised to lead its market segment once again, the 2009 BMW Z4 Roadster will make its North American debuts at the 2009 North American International Auto Show on January 11.

Return of a Classic
The classic roadster is back – more powerful and more stylish than ever before. It is the BMW Z4, the only car in its segment combining classic roadster proportions with a seating position moved close to the rear axle, rear-wheel drive, with a retractable hardtop.

The new BMW Z4 offers all the driving pleasure of a BMW Roadster with particularly refined and stylish flair. Driving with the roof down, this two-seater offers a refreshingly intense experience of the sunshine and the wind rushing by – and driving with the hardtop closed it provides all the comfort of a sporting coupe in the premium segment. So through this diversity and wide range of qualities, the new BMW Z4 is the re-birth of the roadster.

Of lasting value.

The BMW Group is writing unique history in the world of motoring: Introducing BMW Hydrogen 7, BMW is presenting the first virtually emission-free hydrogen-powered luxury saloon in the world suitable for everyday use, this new model thus setting a milestone in entering a new era of sustained mobility.

BMW Hydrogen 7 is powered by a hydrogen combustion engine and has gone through the complete process of series development, at the same time reflecting the consistent strategy of the BMW Group using hydrogen as the ideal source of energy for the future suitable for everyday motoring already in our day and age.

BMW Hydrogen 7 is a revolutionary development within the BMW 7 Series as a whole: The engine, suspension and body of this new model are based on the overall vehicle concept carried over from the BMW 760i and BMW 760Li Saloons. At the same time BMW Hydrogen 7 features a dual-mode twelve-cylinder combustion power unit able to run on both hydrogen and conventional gasoline. Maximum output is 191 kW/260 hp, accelerating BMW’s Hydrogen Saloon to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. Top speed of BMW Hydrogen 7, in turn, is limited electronically to 230 km/h or 143 mph.

Throwing status quo a curve: the refreshed BMW 3 Series

The 2009 3 Series

Updated legends, the new 2009 3 Series Sedans and Sports Wagons retain their class-leading attitude, while flaunting new exterior and interior cues. Fresh color choices, new character lines on the hood, redesigned front and rear bumpers, halogen front lights with Corona headlight-rings, and even a recast twin kidney grille all reflect their athletic nature.

2009 also marks the U.S. debut of BMW’s Advanced Diesel engine with BluePerformance, now in the twin-turbo 335d Sedan. This is the same technology that took the “2008 World Green Car” award for BMW’s clean and fuel-efficient diesel power.

Under the hood of the 335i Sedan, you’ll find the award-winning, 300-hp twin-turbo six-cylinder engine; in the 328i Sedan and Sports Wagon, a 230-hp inline six-cylinder Valvetronic powerplant. And BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive gives the 328i xDrive and 335i xDrive optimum traction on any road.

Once again, you’re going the distance to help find a cure

The road to finding a cure for breast cancer is long. However, since 1997, BMW has been sharing the journey with more than half a million enthusiastic participants in the BMW Ultimate Drive® supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

This year, from the February 13 kickoff gala in Coconut Creek, FL until the December 13 wrap-up party in Spartanburg, SC, a caravan of specially designed BMWs is circling the U.S. in its goal of visiting 208 BMW centers and generating one million test drive miles. Spending one day at each location, the BMW Ultimate Drive gives everyday people a chance to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. For every mile they drive, BMW donates $1 to Komen for the Cure for breast cancer research, education and more.

By the end of the 10 months, participants will have driven a grand total of 12 million miles, and BMW will have donated a grand total of more than $12 million. BMW also donates 80 percent of the gross profits from every item purchased from the BMW Pink Ribbon Collection, adding to the total contribution.
