Driving Pleasure.
Ranked number one by drivers:
The BMW M3 Coup.
Music to your ears at
8,400 beats per minute.
How do you get fast lap times?
With ease.
Your BMW M3 is easily restrained.
Unlike your enthusiasm.
From standstill
to pole position.
Even on the road
youre on the fast track
to driving pleasure.
When you count
every millisecond,
every detail matters.
When two extremes meet,
a powerful force is called into
being: the BMW M3 Saloon.
Amadeus ex machina.
Steers clear of
compromise.
Smouldering brake
discs are only
the warm-up act.
Formed in the fast lane.
Records cant always
be broken. But you
can never stop trying.
Who says
theres no room
at the top?
Dont soak up the sun.
Hunt it down.
The BMW M3 Convertible.
Shame we cant picture the sound.
Steering wheel of fortune.
Sit back and enjoy the ride
but theres no respite for the road.
Ready. Set. Go.
Its performance: outstanding.
Its elegance: inviting.
Close to the sun. Even closer to the road.

BMW Recycling.
Your BMW is the product of a comprehensive recycling concept. But what exactly does that mean in
practice? It means that all the requirements of recycling are taken into account from the start, in the
initial development of a BMW. One example is the choice of materials carefully selected to preserve
resources and ensure efficient recycling compatible with the environment. Each BMW is designed
and built for simple and economic recycling after its long running life. We have been collecting the
know-how required for this purpose ever since 1994 at the unique BMW Recycling and Dismantling
Centre (RDC) near Munich. At the same time, the BMW Group is establishing a complete network of
vehicle return and recycling facilities initially throughout Europe, focusing in the process on the highest
standards of quality and environmental care typical of BMW. So please contact your BMW partner, who
will be happy to advise you on all matters regarding the return of your end-of-life vehicle.
The models illustrated in this brochure show the specifications for the German market. In part, they include optional
equipment and accessories not fitted as standard. According to the specific legal requirements of other markets, alterations
in models, standard and optional equipment, as described in this brochure, may occur. For precise information on model
features and the exact level of equipment, please contact your BMW partner. Subject to change in design and equipment.
