BMW Brakes System: High Performance Stopping Power There's more to the Ultimate Driving Machine than racing across the open road towards your next great adventure. Slow your horses, because the braking system in a BMW luxury car is an expertly crafted piece of auto technology designed to keep drivers safe. Through countless stress tests across a wide array of locations, environments, and scenarios, the BMW braking system exceeds expectations. Featuring strength four times more powerful than the engine, stop your vehicle in seconds and enjoy being able to control distances with extreme precision. more In order to reach its full potential, the braking system experiences a 'training period' that runs for the first 300 - 400 miles. During this time, you may notice sounds coming from the brake disk and pad, but not to worry! This is simply a sign that the auto technology is adjusting and doing its job. Keep your BMW's brake rotors and pads operating smoothly with these helpful car maintenance tips for cleaning your rims: - Use acid-alkaline free wheel cleaners to reduce corrosion risk - Avoid an overuse of tire-shine products, as this may cause brake pads to become contaminated & potentially less effective - Do not use high-intensity water sources when cleaning the rims, as this may cause brake parts to bind & make excessive noises - Gently tap the brakes every few miles after cleaning to help dry the components Keep in mind that if your vehicle sits idle for long periods of time without being driven, it may be more susceptible to braking disk corrosion. In most cases, moderate use of the brake pads will help to eliminate slight surface corrosion. Contact Passport BMW for additional information on the BMW braking system.

BMW has joined New York lifestyle brand Kith in a multifaceted partnership, highlighted by the BMW M4 Competition x Kith – a limited edition interpretation of the all-new M4 Competition coupe with design elements personally created by Kith founder Ronnie Fieg, strictly limited to 150 units worldwide. Fieg, a native New Yorker and lifelong BMW enthusiast, also lent his unique design vision and notable collaboration techniques to his own personal classic “E30” generation BMW M3. This legendary BMW model was further complemented by an all-new BMW M4 Competition Design Study by Kith; using the E30 M3’s current-day spiritual successor, the M4 Competition coupe, Fieg created a 1-of-1 special edition version that mimics the specifications – and Kith design touches – of his own classic vehicle. Further exploring BMW and Kith’s mutual admiration and his own history with the brand, Fieg has created The Kith for BMW Collection, featuring apparel and accessories inspired by classic BMW design elements and exclusively available through Kith’s retail locations beginning October 23. The collection, featuring 94 styles of apparel and accessories, is Kith’s largest single offering to date. more “Everything we work on at Kith has to come from an authentic place,” says Kith founder Ronnie Fieg. “Some of my favorite memories from growing up came from going to visit my grandfather and riding around in his BMWs in the 1980s. I remember he had an E21 320i and that his prized possession was a white E30 M3. These moments in my life really shaped my passion for BMW, so working on this project with them has brought everything full circle.” The collaboration also highlights BMW’s continuous focus on the lifestyle, luxury and fashion space, a key area for interacting with existing and new customers. “Keeping a close eye on the latest lifestyle developments is part of our approach to evolving the BMW brand,” said Jens Thiemer, senior vice president, Customer and Brand, BMW. “With his unique collaboration approach and Kith label, Ronnie Fieg is an outstanding mind and leader in the fashion, lifestyle and luxury industries. Our collaboration with Ronnie and his influential brand will be a positive force for BMW as we explore new customer groups.” “This is not the first time BMW M GmbH has released a limited edition of one of our cars as part of an exclusive collaboration,” added Markus Flasch, CEO of BMW M GmbH. “The tie-up with Ronnie Fieg and Kith is a great opportunity for BMW M GmbH to bridge the gap between the original BMW M3 and our new BMW M4 Competition Coupé for the sixth generation of this iconic model range. It also allows us to spread the word to an exciting new target group, as the lifestyle fashion scene transforms from a cultural phenomenon to a global way of life, bringing a new and very distinct brand of exclusivity to many different areas.” Featuring many of the design touches from Fieg’s personal E30 M3 and the Cinnabar Red M4 Design Study by Kith, the limited-edition M4 Competition x Kith also has several highlights unique to the production vehicle. While merging logos is a hallmark of the many partnerships Kith has forged with other globally renowned companies, this is the first time BMW has altered its iconic roundel badge for a collaboration partner. The fusion logo created for the BMW M4 Competition x Kith adds an extra ring around the BMW roundel in the BMW M colors of light blue, dark blue and red, as well as details in bright lettering focusing on Kith and the collaboration. The rear decklid of the BMW M4 Competition x Kith features a black Kith logo with the iconic tri-color BMW M stripes. The limited-edition models are available exclusively in matte paint finishes of Frozen Black, Frozen Dark Silver and Frozen Brilliant White. Kith-designed elements further enhance the all-new BMW M4 Competition coupe. Featuring BMW M’s TwinPower Turbo 3.0 Liter inline-six cylinder engine, the M4 Competition x Kith arrives with over 500 horsepower and M xDrive all-wheel-drive. Customers can expect Kith-embossed black merino leather and multicolour ambient mood lighting throughout the driver-focused cabin, the latest BMW safety technology like optional Advanced Driver Assistance systems, cutting-edge infotainment like BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and all of the world-class performance that BMW M’s legendary motorsport heritage promises. For more product information on the all-new BMW M4 Competition coupe, please visit BMW USA News. The BMW M4 Competition x Kith will be available for preorder on October 23, 2020 at 11:00 AM EST exclusively through BMWUSA.com and is strictly limited to 150 units worldwide. MSRP begins at $109,250 plus destination and handling fees. Note: The BMW M4 Competition x Kith will arrive in 2021 as model year 2022 vehicle.

Wishing you a safe but frightful Halloween! We hope that you a fun filled weekend with magical surprises!

BMW announces a special edition trim package for the 2021 model year X2 Sports Activity Coupe. The new package will not be limited in the number of vehicles that can be ordered with it. Available on X2 sDrive28i and xDrive28i models, the new design package adds: • M Sport X exterior package • M Mesh kidney grille • Choice of metallic paint including, for the first time on the X2, Brooklyn Grey Metallic • New 19-inch M Aerodynamic Style 919M wheels with orange or black highlights • 8-Speed Sport automatic transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters • Specially selected interior appointments including Edition badging • M Sport Seats with leather upholstery The Edition M Mesh package is priced at $3,550. The MSRP for the 2021 X2 sDrive28i is $36,600 plus $995 Destination and $38,600 plus $995 Destination for the X2 xDrive28i. more Exterior Design The Edition M Mesh includes exterior features from the optional M Sport X package such as the M Sport Exterior package, Shadowline Trim and Extended Shadowline Trim. The new high-gloss black BMW M Mesh kidney grille has three-dimensional mesh-inserts and launches with 11/20 production on the X2 M35i but is now also available on 28i models with the Edition M Mesh package. Shadowline exterior trim includes high-gloss black window and exterior mirror surrounds and B-pillar and C-pillar trim. The rear trunk lid badge surround and the exhaust tips are finished in black chrome. Five exteriors color choices – Alpine White, Brooklyn Grey Metallic (new), Phytonic Blue Metallic, Black Sapphire Metallic and Sunset Orange Metallic - make up the paint selection for the special edition package. U.S. models do not feature orange or black exterior decals. Unique new 19-inch and optional 20-inch M Aerodynamic wheels with either black or orange highlights complete the exterior appearance. The 19-inch wheels are shod with 225/45R19 runflat tires while the 20-inch wheels are equipped with 225/40R20 runflat tires. Both wheel sizes are available with a choice of either all-season or summer performance tires. Interior Design The interior of the Edition M Mesh package is highlighted by the M Sport seats with integrated headrests - previously only available on the X2 M35i – which are finished in Black Perforated Dakota Leather. Special door sills with “Edition” lettering, Aluminum Hexagon trim with Pearl Grey Chrome accents and an M Sport steering wheel with paddle shifters are included. Drivetrain Both two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive X2 28i models are powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo engine producing 228 hp at 5,000 – 6,000 rpm and 258 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,450 – 4,500 rpm. The sDrive28i model sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds while the added traction of the xDrive28i allows it to reach 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. For models equipped with the 19-inch or 20-inch M Aerodynamic wheels and all-season tires, top speed is limited to 130 mph. Selecting summer performance tires increases the top speed limit to 144 mph on the sDrive28i and 143 mph on the xDrive28i. A standard 8-speed Sport Steptronic automatic transmission allows for quick and seamless gear shifts in either automatic mode or in manual mode via the gear selector lever or steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. Technology The BMW X2 28i models come equipped with standard an 8.8-inch high-resolution center touch display, navigation with up to four annual over-the-air map updates, Apple CarPlay compatibility, SiriusXM satellite radio with 1-year All-Access subscription and Bluetooth wireless connectivity for your mobile devices.

BMW is proud to present the all-new, second generation 4 Series Convertible, 35 years after the very first 3 Series Convertible was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new four-seater continues the tradition of exhilarating open-air motoring, rightfully deserving “The Ultimate Driving Machine” moniker with its modern styling, low-slung shoulder line, cutting-edge technology and performance. The most noticeable change from the previous generation is the switch from hardtop to newly designed soft-top, which brings many benefits including weight reduction, greater cargo space and a lower center of gravity for improved handling. MSRP is $53,100 for the new 430i Convertible, $55,100 for the 430i xDrive Convertible, $64,00 for the M440i Convertible and $66,000 for the M440i xDrive Convertible. Pricing does not include $995 Destination. more New convertible soft-top The new 4 Series Convertible’s top uses large panel bow elements with a honeycomb-design construction, a flush-fitting glass rear window, multiple layers of insulation and a fabric cover available in two colors. The fabric is pulled taut when the roof is closed, giving the car a coupe-like appearance with a classic fabric top convertible feel. The soft-top roof color choices include standard black and an optional Moonlight black which gives the fabric a classy metallic shimmer, especially in direct sunlight. The soft-top is also approximately 40 percent lighter than the previous generation’s hardtop. The smooth surface, when closed, improves the 4 Series Convertible’s aerodynamics and reduces wind noise. The effective insulation allows for quicker heating of the cabin in colder temperatures. Another benefit of the fabric top is an extra 0.2 inches of headroom when compared to the previous hardtop. Opening and closing the soft-top takes 18 seconds and can be performed at up to 31 mph. The three bow panels fold neatly into a compact Z configuration which can also be performed via the remote key thanks to the Comfort Access system which is standard on the M440i models and optional on the 430i models. The compact dimensions of the folded soft-top increase cargo area to 9.0 cubic feet, an increase of 1.2 cubic feet over the previous 4 Series Convertible. The top features a safety mechanism which prevents it from being lowered if the trunk area is filled. A pass-through door in the rear seat allows for longer items to be carried inside the car. A standard wind deflector with two mesh elements can be fitted in the rear to reduce both wind noise and air turbulence. When not in use, the deflector can be stored either within easy reach behind the rear backrest or in its fitted bag in the cargo compartment. Exterior Design and Improved Aerodynamics The new 2021 4 Series Convertible is 5.2-inches longer (5.3-inches for M440i models), 1.0-inches wider and 0.1-inch higher. It also has a 1.6-inch longer wheelbase than its predecessor. The front track has grown by 1.5-inches, accentuating the wider and more aggressive stance of the low-slung open-top cars.  The new 4 Series Convertible’s aerodynamic properties are also improved over those of its predecessor (by 0.02 Cx) thanks to the sleek new soft-top, a nearly sealed underbody and numerous improved aero aids such as air curtains and air flap control. The striking front end of the 4 Series features a new BMW kidney grille design which provides adequate airflow to meet engine cooling requirements. The grille is angled forward and extends to the bottom of the front bumper cover. The kidney grille is framed by surfaces with a three-dimensional mesh structure. The arrow-shaped lines of the hood come together at the grille while the air curtain intakes at the edges of the front bumper highlight the 4 Series’ width. Standard LED headlights are slimmer in design and taper toward the kidney grille. Two U-shaped daytime running light elements in each headlight are the most pronounced feature. The turn signals consist of three glass blade units in the corners of each front light assembly. The profile of the new 4 Series Convertible shows the new model’s very clean and minimalist classic lines - a notchback silhouette with the roof up or the wide, low muscular appearance with the roof down. The width of the new 4 Series Convertible is reinforced in the rear by slim, darkened L-shaped LED taillights which extend into the quarter panels. Vertical apertures at the corners of the rear bumper mimic the front’s air breather openings. The M Sport Package includes a uniquely styled front bumper with larger air intake openings and a restyled rear bumper with Shadowline inlays. The rear diffuser panel, front air intake trim, side window moldings and lower exterior mirror housings are all finished in high-gloss black. Selecting the optional Shadowline Package provides a high-gloss black finish to the kidney grille, exhaust tip trim and a black finish to the mirror caps. The M440i and M440i xDrive Convertibles’ exterior styling is set apart by a Cerium Grey finish to the kidney grille, front air intake trim, exterior mirror caps and rear trapezoidal exhaust tip trim. Interior Design A premium driver-centric cockpit is the focus of the new 4 Series Convertible’s interior design. Newly designed front power Sport seats and leather Sport steering wheel are standard. The upswept center console creates individual space for the front seat passengers. The M Sport Package and M440i Convertible models offer additional soft knee padding on the sides of the center console as well as an M Sport steering wheel and door sill plates with the M logo. The center display screen flows into the instrument cluster area to form a congruous unit. The light functions are operated from a panel of buttons to the left of the steering wheel. The start/stop button is now located in the center console along with the newly designed gear selector lever, the iDrive Controller and the buttons for the Driving Experience Control switch. Rear seating with integral head restraints is designed for two passengers and features a center armrest with storage and cupholders as well as a pass-through section to the cargo area. The interior of the new 4 Series Convertible features lighting for front and rear interior, glovebox, center armrest storage compartment, sun visor mirrors, trunk area and door courtesy lights. The optional interior ambient lighting provides adjustable lighting for the contour lines across the instrument and door panels. The lighting’s distribution, brightness and color scheme can be configured via the iDrive menu to suit the driver’s taste and mood. The storage trays and compartments around the front seats and in the rear are more capacious than in the outgoing model. As well as the traditional glove compartment and the storage space under the center armrest, there is also a stowage tray in front of the gear selector lever, roomy door pockets and an additional storage compartment underneath the control panel for the lighting functions on the driver’s side. The cover at the front of the center console opens with a fingertip push to reveal two cupholders, a 12V socket and a USB port. A second USB port can be found in the illuminated storage compartment under the center armrest. Convertible-specific noise reduction measures have been taken in the areas of the intake system, engine cover and underbody to dampen engine noise and thereby increase acoustic comfort when driving with the top down. Measures to divert wind noise effectively around the body further enhance comfort levels. The acoustic properties of the air conditioning system have also been improved by reducing airflow noise. A three-zone automatic climate control system allowing independent control of the temperature and ventilation settings for the driver’s side, the front passenger side and the rear passenger compartment is standard. Power and Performance All models of the new 4 Series enjoy a boost in horsepower and torque over the models they replace. Powering the new 430i and 430i xDrive Convertibles is an updated B46 2.0-liter 4-cylinder BMW TwinPower turbocharged engine delivering 255 hp @ 5,000 – 6,500 rpm (an increase of 7 hp) and 295 ft-lbs. of torque @ 1,550 – 4,400 rpm (an increase of 37 ft-lbs.). The 430i Convertible accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds (tbd for 430i xDrive) and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph or 130 mph depending on the selected wheel and tire combination. The new M440i and M440i xDrive Convertibles are powered by the B58 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder BMW TwinPower turbocharged engine producing 382 hp @ 5,800 – 6,500 rpm (an increase of 62 hp) and 369 ft-lbs. of torque @ 1,800 – 5,000 rpm (an increase of 39 ft.-lbs.). The M440i Convertible accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds (tbd for M440i xDrive) and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph or 130 mph depending on the selected wheel and tire combination. Both 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines use a single, twin-scroll turbocharger, high precision fuel injection (operating at over 5,000 psi), VALVETRONIC fully variable valve timing and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing. The 3.0-liter 6-cylinder motors in the M440i and M440i xDrive Convertibles also benefit from weight-optimized pistons and connecting rods and from an exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head allowing for better thermal efficiency from the integrated water-cooling passages.
