Buchko BMW Product Communications Manager 201-307-3789 / dave.buchko@bmwna.com William Scully BMW Product Communications Specialist 201-307-3790 / william.scully@bmwna.com BMW X5 for 2005: enhanced standard equipment for BMW’s premium Sports Activity Vehicle Series Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, November 1, 2004…Five years ago, at the time of its debut, the very combination of “BMW” and “SUV” seemed unlikely. For this reason, BMW decided to give the X5 a more apt name – Sports Activity Vehicle – to distinguish it from the ordinary run of SUVs. In the meantime, the SAV concept has become so established and respected that the X5 has been joined by a second SAV line, the X3, which made its debut in 2004. For 2004, the X5 received an extensive round of product enhancements that freshened its appeal to customers who value the attributes of an SUV – robust construction, all-weather/all-road and trailer-towing capabilities, commanding driving position, ease of loading cargo – but also seek traditional BMW attributes: precision handling, brilliant performance, elegant design, tasteful luxury, premium quality. Those changes included: • A new all-wheel drive system, xDrive, that adjusts front/rear torque proportioning

according to road and driving conditions to optimize both traction and handling. • Adoption of the acclaimed Valvetronic V-8 engine in the X5 4.4i model, resulting in

greater power and significantly improved fuel efficiency. • A new top-of-line model, the 4.8is; replacing the former 4.6is, this high-performance

X5 introduced a larger and more powerful version of the Valvetronic V-8. • New 6-speed transmissions – manual in the 6-cylinder X5 3.0i model, automatic in

the X5 4.4i and 4.8is. • Freshened exterior design, with an entirely (yet subtly) new front end, new taillights

and several fresh colors. • New wheel designs and enhanced standard equipment.

For 2005, the X5 continues in the same three models: X5 3.0i, powered by BMW’s legendary inline 6-cylinder engine and base-priced at $42,395 including destination charge; X5 4.4i, with the 4.4-liter V-8 ($53,495); and X5 4.8is ($70,795), the flagship model that elevates the X5 to new heights of performance, handling and luxury. What’s new for 2005 All models • Auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors (optional 3.0i, Premium Package 4.4i,

standard 4.8is) now include a digital compass, integrated into the interior rearview mirror. (This was actually added during the ’04 model year.)

• Dual-panel Panorama moonroof (Premium Package or stand-alone option on 3.0i and 4.4i, standard 4.8is; also added during the ’04 model year)

• Xenon Adaptive headlights with dynamic auto-leveling (stand-alone option on 3.0i; standard 4.4i & 4.8is)

X5 3.0i • Automatic climate control newly standard; formerly part of this model’s Premium

Package. • Wood interior trim newly standard; Dark Poplar is the standard grain, with Light

Poplar and Maple Anthracite newly offered as no-extra-cost options. X5 3.0i and 4.4i • Power-adjustable lumbar support newly standard X5 4.4i • Park Distance Control, BMW’s ultrasonic parking aid, newly standard. Critical acclaim for a unique vehicle concept During its first five years of production, the X5 has garnered lavish praise. Automobile Magazine, naming it one of its All-Stars in the February ’01 issue, concluded that “BMW’s X5 is not only a great SUV but a great vehicle regardless of category.” In April ’03, Motor Trend concluded a 1-year/20,000-mile test of an X5 4.4i with this summary: “If we had our druthers, ours would still be parked in the MT garage.” And the April ‘02 Car and Driver concluded after a 40,000-mile Long-Term Test of the X5 4.4i that “This is still by far the best-looking SUV on the market and the most fun to drive.” Other observations from this report included: • “The X5 became a favorite winter highway cruiser because of its strong engine,

reassuring grip, and comfortable leather-clad seats.”

• “The rear seats were judged to be comfortable by adults. Parents liked it that belted-in kids at either end of the bench couldn’t quite reach each other.”

• “The suspension is great on dirt roads.” • “Plenty of room for us and the supplies for our tailgate party before the concert. We

were almost as cool as [Rod Stewart].” Customers also continue to vote for the SAV concept. During calendar 2004 through September, combined X5/X3 sales volume approached double the previous year’s sales for the period. xDrive: Variable torque split and quick reflexes adapt to changing driving conditions In 2004, the X5 – along with the X3 – introduced a brand-new all-wheel drive system, called xDrive. Housed in a transfer case behind the transmission, xDrive operates as follows: • Driving torque is always transmitted to the rear wheels, and under most conditions

to all four wheels. • The portion of torque transmitted to the front wheels is controlled by a multi-disc

clutch that can be fully open, fully engaged or at any level of partial engagement in between.

• Engagement pressure on the multi-disc clutch is applied by a servo motor, which in turn is directed by an electronic control system with inputs from the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system via sensors for: • Rotational speed of each wheel • Steering angle • Brakelight switch • Vehicle yaw and lateral acceleration.

• The servo motor exerts engagement pressure on the multi-disc clutch via a linkage consisting of levers, a ball ramp and a disc cam.

Considering the front and rear wheels as two pairs, the rears always drive; the proportion of the total driving torque transferred to the front pair at any given time depends upon the degree to which the multi-disc clutch is engaged (i.e. the engagement pressure exerted by the servo motor). As more torque is transferred to the front wheels, a smaller proportion goes to the rear. With full traction at all wheels, the

–4–

–more–

maximum proportion to the front is 50%; in a situation where both rear wheels are on slick ice and the fronts are getting traction, the proportion going to the rears can approach zero. All-wheel drive is essentially permanent; under normal traction conditions, the circumstances which cause xDrive to operate in rear-wheel drive only are: • In very tight maneuvering with little engine torque, to allow large wheel-speed

variations between the front and rear wheels (as when parking). • In tight curves with low to medium torque. • When the vehicle tends to understeer markedly. • Anytime the antilock braking function is active. In normal driving, the clutch operates with minimum slip, resulting in a torque split around 40% front/60% rear; this is consistent with the “basis” front/rear split of BMW all-wheel drive over the years. Under conditions of uneven traction, the control system interprets wheel-speed data to determine the front/rear driving-torque proportions; additionally, the DSC traction-control function can intervene to reduce engine torque and apply individual wheel brakes, thus helping achieve maximum possible usable force to move the vehicle. Via the DSC switch on the console, the driver can also de-activate engine intervention, leaving only the brakes; this function is referred to as ADB-X (Automatic Differential Brake for all-wheel drive). But xDrive does not optimize traction alone; it also optimizes handling characteristics, enhancing both agility and stability on non-slippery as well as slippery road surfaces. Via the same type of logic DSC employs to recognize and correct for excessive over- or understeer, xDrive adjusts the front/rear torque split to avoid these tendencies. If undesirable oversteer is sensed, the multi-disc clutch is further closed, sending additional torque to the front wheels. If excess understeer is detected, xDrive opens the multi-disc clutch completely, leaving no driving torque at the front wheels. All this occurs without any overt indications to the driver; the driver merely enjoys optimum vehicle dynamics under a wide range of driving and road conditions. xDrive even varies the front/rear torque split according to acceleration on dry pavement, increasing the proportion to the rear wheels under heavier acceleration and decreasing it under lighter acceleration. xDrive makes all these adjustments to the

valves.

front/rear torque split ultra-quickly; reaction times (from sensing to control actions) are so small that the system almost seems to be pro-active. Three models, three levels of performance Of the three models, only the X5 3.0i has always been powered by the same engine: a legendary 225-horsepower inline 6-cylinder unit that provides this most accessibly priced X5 with smooth, willing and sonorous performance. Alone among the X5 models, the 3.0i is available with a manual transmission. It is a 6-speed, and is standard equipment; optional is a 5-speed version of BMW STEPTRONIC automatic transmission, with Normal, Sport or Manual operating modes. In the Manual mode, the driver effects shifts by tipping the shift lever forward or rearward. With its Valvetronic V-8 engine, new last year, the X5 4.4i applies some of BMW’s most advanced technology to achieve a remarkable combination of performance and fuel efficiency. This engine delivers 315 hp, and also achieves better results in both portions of the Environmental Protection Agency’s fuel-economy testing than its pre-Valvetronic predecessor: 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway. Behind such impressive data are tangible and unique engineering advances: • Valvetronic – a patented BMW system that varies valve lift to control engine

power. Instead of a conventional throttle, Valvetronic varies valve lift all the way from a minuscule 0.3 mm (for idling) to a high 9.7 mm (for full-power operation). Thus eliminating the “pumping losses” associated with throttles, Valvetronic plays a major role in the excellent power output; it also helps make the engine smoother.

• Fully variable intake manifold. Many contemporary engines (including the X5 3.0i’s 6-cylinder unit) employ 2-stage intake manifolds that switch between two paths for air entering the engine: one for low- to medium-speed operation (improving torque and response), the other for high-speed operation (improving top-end power). For the V-8, BMW’s engine team conceived a fully, steplessly variable, intake manifold that optimizes performance right across the entire engine-speed range.

• Double VANOS 1. Shared with other BMW engines, this feature affects the exhaust as well as the intake

1 – VANOS = VAriable NOckenwellen Steuerung = variable camshaft control, or variable valve timing.

The X5 4.8is takes the Valvetronic power concept to an even higher level, employing a larger bore and stroke to obtain a displacement of 4.8 liters. In turn, this means even greater power and torque: 355 hp, and 360 lb-ft. of torque vs. the 4.4i’s 324 lb-ft. So motivated, the 4.8is model reaches 60 mph from a standstill in just 5.9 seconds. (4.4i: an also lively 6.8 sec.) Teamed with both V-8 engines is a 6-speed version of the STEPTRONIC automatic that fully exploits the engine’s performance capacity. Its 6th gear smoothes the flow of power from a standstill to high speeds with more, smaller steps between the 1st and top gears, which are further apart than in the 5-speed. Because the 4.8is is the highest-performing X5 model, its transmission is calibrated in an especially sporty way. Subtly updated exterior design Many consider the X5 the most handsome vehicle of its type; for the ’04 model year BMW gave it a discreet updating. This included all-new front sheet metal and details, such as wider grilles and new headlight clusters. Adaptive Light Control, which “steers” the headlights to help the driver see around curves and corners, was added to the Xenon headlights that are standard on the two V-8 models and optional on the 6-cylinder 3.0i. Rain-sensing windshield wipers and automatic headlight control (which switches on the headlights and related lighting at dusk and in low-light conditions) became standard on all models. Adaptive brakelights, which illuminate more strongly under hard braking, were also introduced in ’04. X5 4.4i: more than just more power In addition to the 4.4-liter V-8 engine and standard automatic transmission, the 4.4i embodies the following increments of engineering and equipment over the “entry” 3.0i model: • Standard self-leveling rear air suspension (3.0i: optional) • Standard 18-in. wheels and tires, same size and speed rating as the 3.0i’s Sport

Package equipment. The 4.4i Sport Package wheels are V-rated vs. 3.0i’s H-rated. (The 3.0i comes standard with 17-in. equipment.)

• Optional 19-in. wheels and V-rated performance tires: 19 x 9.0 front with 255/50R-19 tires, 19 x 10.0 rear with 285/45R-19.

• Various distinctions in exterior trim • Rear-compartment climate control (3.0i: Rear Climate Package) • Leather upholstery (3.0i: leatherette standard)

–7–

• Differently composed option Packages. Packages and stand-alone options: available for individual tastes All X5 models are extensively equipped in base form; yet BMW recognizes that buyers have varying tastes and priorities. Thus an appealing range of options, both Packages and stand-alone, is available. All Packages are available for the 3.0i and 4.4i, and all can be combined. Packages: Premium Package. Given the 3.0i’s lighter standard equipment, its Package has the greater content: Multi Information Display with 8-function On-board Computer, dual-panel Panorama moonroof, leather upholstery and BMW Assist, BMW’s system of in-vehicle telematics and extensive customer benefits. Leather is standard in the 4.4i; its Premium Package omits this feature but adds auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors and the digital compass. Sport Package. Both Packages (3.0i and 4.4i) include sport suspension, sportier wheels and tires, titanium-finish front bumper grille, high-gloss black Shadowline trim around the side windows, Black Chrome exhaust tips, sport steering wheel, sport seats and Anthracite-color headliner. With the 4.4i Package, the electronic maximum-speed limiter is deleted for a 149-mph top speed vs. the limited 130. The 3.0i tires are H-rated all-season, the 4.4i V-rated all-season. Cold Weather Package. Identical for 3.0i and 4.4i; includes a high-intensity liquid headlight cleaning system, heated front seats and an interior ski bag. Rear Climate Package. This group includes pull-up sunshades on the rear door windows and privacy glass aft of the B-pillar. The 3.0i Package adds rear-compartment climate controls, which are standard in the 4.4i. Stand-alone options: • STEPTRONIC automatic transmission. Optional only on the 3.0i, where it is a 5-

speed unit; a 6-speed version is standard on the 4.4i and 4.8is. • Self-leveling rear air suspension. Optional 3.0i, standard 4.4i and 4.8is. Air

springs replace steel coils. To keep the X5 level even when heavy loads are carried, ride-height sensors recognize changes in the vehicle’s attitude and signal an electric air compressor to increase or decrease the air pressure and keep the

vehicle on an even keel. Normal ride height is 0.3 in. lower with this system, benefiting onroad handling.

• Adjustable ride height. Optional 3.0i and 4.4i; requires Sport Package and, on the 3.0i, the self-leveling option; standard on 4.8is. To the self-leveling rear air springs, this system adds front air springs and adjustable height all around. Via a switch vehicle height can be set to –

Normal, with 8.1-in. ground clearance. Offroad – 20 mm/0.8 in. higher than normal. Access – 40 mm/1.5 in. lower than normal, for ease of entry/exit.

The offroad setting can be used up to approximately 31 mph, at which the vehicle returns to the normal setting even if Offroad is selected. The Access setting can be held until the vehicle reaches approximately 22 mph, or engaged if the vehicle is traveling 16 mph or less.

• 19-in. wheels and tires. Available on 4.4i in combination with Sport Package for sportier handling; sizes and tires described earlier.

• Xenon Adaptive headlights – optional 3.0i, standard 4.4i and 4.8is. Include dynamic auto-leveling (adjusts the lights not only for vehicle loads but also for more transitory changes in vehicle attitude, such as acceleration or braking) and the Adaptive feature, which “steers” the headlights to enhance the driver’s vision around curves and corners.

• Park Distance Control – optional 3.0i, standard 4.4i and 4.8is. Via ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers, PDC senses when the vehicle is approaching obstructions that may not be visible to the driver. Beepers at the front and rear of the cabin alert the driver.

• Auto-dimming interior/exterior rearview mirrors with digital compass in interior mirror, available as a stand-alone option on 3.0i and as part of the 4.4i Premium Package; standard on 4.8is.

• Dual-panel Panorama moonroof – optional 3.0i and 4.4i and part of these models’ Premium Package; standard on 4.8is.

• BMW On-board Navigation System, available in all models. Encompasses the 8-function On-board Computer.

• Premium audio system – optional 3.0i and 4.4i, standard 4.8is. In place of the 3.0i/4.4i standard 10-speaker system, includes 12 speakers (two are subwoofers) plus Digital Sound Processing and upgraded components.

• 6-disc CD changer, available for BMW SAV Center installation in 3.0i and 4.4i, standard in 4.8is.

–9–

• 16-way Comfort front seats with articulated, power-adjustable upper backrests. Optional in 3.0i and 4.4i at extra cost, in 4.8is at no extra cost.

• Leather upholstery, standard in the 4.4i and 4.8is, is offered as a stand-alone option (or part of the Premium Package) in the 3.0i.

• Heated steering wheel – optional in all models; in 3.0i and 4.4i, requires the Cold Weather Package.

• Heated rear seats – optional 3.0i and 4.4i in combination with Cold Weather Package; in 3.0i, also requires leather. Standard in 4.8is.

• Interior trim options. In all models, Light Poplar or Maple Anthracite wood can be substituted for the standard trim at no extra cost.

• Rear-seat side-impact airbags are available in all models; front and rear Head Protection System is standard.

• Retractable load floor, optional on all models. Adds convenience for loading objects into the cargo area. After being released via its handle, the carpeted floor panel rolls out on ball-bearing rails.

• BMW Assist, included in the 3.0i/4.4i Premium Package; also available as a stand-alone option for these models; standard with the 4.8is. The in-vehicle equipment includes GPS technology plus SOS and Assist (“wrench”) buttons in a panel above the windshield. Vehicle occupants may request emergency or other services simply by pressing a button; the BMW Assist system transmits vehicle location and information to the BMW Assist Response Center. A response specialist then contacts the occupants to coordinate dispatch, notify emergency contacts on file if required, and link BMW Roadside Assistance or emergency services as needed and requested. Deployment of an airbag automatically activates BMW Assist as well. Newly included for ’05 are stolen-vehicle recovery, directions to destination, traffic reports and weather services. A year’s subscription to BMW Assist is included with the option; after the initial year, the annual fee is $240. In addition to the safety- and security-related benefits, subscribers can call a toll-free 800 number to avail for many BMW Assist Concierge services, from travel planning to dining reservations, shopping assistance and event tickets.

Like all current models, each X5 is covered by BMW’s 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty, and continues to come with a 4-year/50,000-mile Full Maintenance Program for customer convenience, peace of mind and economic benefit.

The unique character of BMW’s Sports Activity Vehicles (SAV) The X5 continues as a unique alternative to conventional SUVs. Its special character, as only BMW could have created it, springs from (but is not limited to) features and qualities such as – • Unit body/chassis structure for exceptional structural rigidity without unduly high

weight, excellent riding comfort and responsive handling (still relatively rare in SUVs, particularly large ones).

• 4-wheel independent suspension for best onroad riding and handling. • Optimum weight distribution, in the BMW tradition, also for optimum handling.

No ’05 X5 model departs from the ideal 50% front / 50% rear weight distribution by more than 1.9%.

• Fulltime all-wheel drive, with the xDrive system delivering amazing traction and a unique standard of agility for this type of vehicle.

• Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) for enhanced stability in cornering or accident-avoidance situations.

• Hill Descent Control (HDC), which intervenes at low speeds to help the driver maintain speed down steep grades.

• Variable-assist power steering with excellent road feel, as in all BMWs. • State-of-the-art brakes, with 4-wheel discs, electronic proportioning of braking

force at all times, and Dynamic Brake Control to reinforce the driver’s pedal effort in emergency braking.

• BMW design. Tasteful, smooth, sophisticated and timeless, inside and out. • BMW ergonomics. Motor Trend’s April ’03 report noted, “We like the X5’s familiar

interior layout, with the hefty gauge hump, clean center stack, rich materials, and impeccable fit and finish.”

Safety and security: exemplifying BMW’s exacting standards The X5’s unit body/chassis structure implies advantages in terms of passive safety. Beyond this fundamental edge, the X5 also includes an extensive array of BMW safety features, including the Head Protection System (HPS) front and rear, “smart” front-impact airbags, standard front- and optional rear-seat side-impact airbags, 3-point safety belts at all seating positions, front belts with automatic tensioners and force limiters, and the Battery Safety Terminal to diminish the likelihood of a fire after a severe crash impact.

In numerous stringent crash tests, the X5 has proved its mettle with regard to safety. Indeed, the X5 performed better than any SUV ever tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in its brutal 40-mph offset crash test. On the basis of this result, the Institute rated the X5 a Best Pick – the third BMW to earn this distinction. Not only was the X5 the best SUV ever tested; in fact, it achieved the best performance ever of any vehicle in this severe IIHS test. More recently, the X5 added to its safety laurels with 5 stars – the highest possible rating – in the Euro-NCAP test, Europe’s equivalent of the widely watched U.S. New Car Assessment Program safety evaluation. Performance with a conscience BMW strives to produce its motor vehicles and other products with the utmost attention to environmental compatibility and protection. Integrated into the design and development of BMW automobiles are such criteria as resource efficiency and emission control in production; environmentally responsible selection of materials; recyclability during production and within the vehicle; elimination of CFCs and hazardous materials in production; and continuing research into environmentally friendly automotive power sources. Tangible results of these efforts include the recycling of bumper cladding into other vehicle components; water-based paint color coats and powder clear coats; near-future availability of hydrogen-powered models; and various design and engineering elements that help make BMWs easier to dismantle at the end of their service life.
