BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad enthusiasts have a new way to demonstrate their love of the brand and earn accelerated rewards for their spend, with the launch of a new, contemporary suite of Mastercard credit cards from U.S. Bank. The new portfolio includes: • BMW World Mastercard®, • BMW Precision World Elite Mastercard®, • MINI World Mastercard® and • BMW Motorrad World Mastercard®. In June 2019, U.S. Bank and BMW Group Financial Services NA, LLC announced an agreement to issue credit cards that will deliver enhanced digital experiences and greater value to BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad enthusiasts. The new cards, which will be issued by Elan Financial Services, a division of U.S. Bank, are now available for new customers at the BMW, MINI, and BMW Motorrad card websites and at participating dealerships “Our new credit card offerings are designed to deliver the performance expected from our premium brands. Our customers will experience greater functionality and improved benefits, engaging them and providing a platform for improved loyalty” said Ian Smith, CEO, BMW Group Financial Services NA. “This new card program brings a world-class experience and value that rewards the relationship we have with our customers, and we know our dealerships and customers are going to love it.” Cardholders now have more ways to earn rewards that can be used at dealerships for parts and service, put toward monthly vehicle payments, or for travel or cash back. Additionally, the new cards bring significant digital improvements to the customer experience. The completely digital process saves the customer time and allows immediate card access to start generating rewards. It's as simple as the customer texting a number to receive access to a digital application that’s easy to complete and submit, all while in the dealership. The credit decision is nearly instantaneous, and if approved, customers will have immediate access to the credit card to use that day in the dealership for accessories, service, purchase of an extended warranty or insurance products, or to cover fees at lease end. Cardholders will receive: • Up to 5x rewards for purchases at BMW, MINI or BMW Motorrad • Accelerated rewards on gas and restaurants; • $70 annual dealership credit on the BMW Precision World Elite Mastercard; • Contactless payment capabilities that require no swiping or dipping, in addition to an EMV chip and magnetic stripe for maximum convenience; • One-click mobile application process with an instant credit decision for immediate use; • Ability to use the card to purchase branded merchandise and accessories, parts and service; • BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad Credit Card mobile apps to redeem rewards and manage their account from anywhere. “BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad are iconic brands that epitomize performance and quality and a rewarding experience for owners,” said Steve Mattics executive vice president of Retail Payment Solutions at U.S. Bank. “These new credit cards were designed to provide world class experiences for cardholders; starting with the streamlined digital application, continuing through to the accelerated rewards on gas and restaurant spend, as well as purchases at the dealership, and complemented by contactless payment capabilities. We are confident these will quickly become go-to cards for owners.”

BMW of North America and ALPINA are proud to announce that the new BMW ALPINA XB7 Sports Activity Vehicle® has begun series production at BMW’s Spartanburg, SC factory, and that the XB7 “Build Your Own” configurator is now fully functional at BMWUSA.com. Incidentally, dealer and customer orders for the XB7 model have already satisfied available production capacity through the balance of calendar year 2020. The BMWUSA.com site now features a fully functional ALPINA XB7 configurator for consumers to build examples of the 612-horsepower SAV in available colors, trims, and equipment configurations, complete with functionality to save and share example builds, and to search dealer inventory for similar matches. Traditional exterior colors ALPINA Blue Metallic and ALPINA Green Metallic will become available at later dates. Returning ALPINA customers will be eager to view the newest ALPINA wood interior trim, called Walnut Nature Anthracite (Black). An open-pore design with “floating” ALPINA logo affixed, optional Walnut Nature Anthracite joins standard ALPINA Myrtle wood trim and available ALPINA Piano Black trim, both of which were already available on ALPINA models offered in North America including the 2021 ALPINA B7 Sedan (0-60mph in 3.5 seconds, top speed up to 205mph). Additionally, US customers can view wheel and tire choices for the XB7, which begin with 21-inch ALPINA DYNAMIC light-alloy wheels with Run-Flat Summer or Run-Flat All-Season tires, and massive new 23-inch ALPINA CLASSIC forged-alloy wheels that save 28 pounds of unsprung mass and include bespoke-compound Pirelli P-ZERO “ALP” non-runflat summer tires. A compact spare is available as an option. More than enough orders from US and Canadian dealers for the ALPINA XB7 have been received to keep the production line and ALPINA final assembly workshop busy past the end of 2020. News of the first-ever XB7 was received enthusiastically by North American dealers and customers, who began placing orders for the model after its mid-May announcement. With global sales of ultra-exclusive ALPINA models stable at just under 2,000 units annually, spotting an ALPINA model on the road anywhere in the world is perhaps only 25 percent as likely as seeing a Rolls-Royce motor car! As with any ALPINA model sold through BMW of North America, US-based BMW dealers may continue placing orders for the XB7 and will be advised regularly with lead-time estimates for production. The hand-finished ALPINA XB7, with seating for up to seven, is the first full-size BMW SAV to receive the refined ALPINA performance luxury treatment and follows the mid-size ALPINA SAV models including the ultra-high-performance diesel XD3 model and XD4 Sports Activity Coupe (neither offered in North America). The XB7, which started production in August for September deliveries in the US market, is based on the BMW X7 and advances the merits of that model with power, handling, and aesthetic details taken to previously unseen levels of development. A small galaxy of unique ALPINA parts ensure that the ALPINA XB7 specifications include a 0-60mph dash in 4.0 seconds, a top speed of up to 180mph, handling and braking to match the power, and a look and feel signature to ALPINA, with the attention to detail clients of the boutique automaker have come to expect since 1965. The BMW ALPINA XB7 is eligible for the Performance Center Delivery experience at the BMW Performance Driving School in Spartanburg, SC. MARKET LAUNCH The all-new BMW ALPINA XB7 became available to order from May 2020 with deliveries planned to commence in September 2020. Just as with the 2021 BMW ALPINA B7 Sedan, all official BMW dealers in the United States and Canada are eligible to sell and service the all-new ALPINA XB7. The XB7 has been featured on the Future Models page of the BMWUSA.com website, and the full Build Your Own page is now live on the site. ABOUT ALPINA AND BMW IN NORTH AMERICA ALPINA Automobiles, privately owned and operated since 1965, has enjoyed a decades-long technical partnership with BMW Group, providing development and testing services to the Munich-based automaker. ALPINA is recognized by the German Ministry of Transport as an independent automobile manufacturer. Selected BMW ALPINA automobiles (currently the B7 and XB7) are sold and serviced by the existing BMW dealer networks in the United States and Canada. These models are covered by BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty and applicable maintenance programs. ALPINA - MANUFACTURER OF EXCLUSIVE AUTOMOBILES Burkard Bovensiepen founded the automobile manufactory ALPINA Burkard Bovensiepen KG in 1965. Ever since, Buchloe has been home to probably the world’s most renowned automobiles based on BMW models, developed and produced by the independent family-owned business in cooperation with BMW. This close partnership forms the basis for the continued success of the ALPINA brand: individual automobiles are manufactured with great love for detail and technical finesse, which, however, at the same time meet the high quality and safety standards of series production. Since 1983, ALPINA is officially registered as an automobile manufacturer by the German Ministry of Transport, the Kraftfahrtbundesamt. Elegant understatement is at the very core of ALPINA’s brand philosophy, which is manifested in an interior with the focus on comfort, above-average driving performance and a discreetly sporty exterior. BMW ALPINA automobiles have regularly caused sensations, both on the road and the racetrack – the result of a remarkable model history. Founder Burkard Bovensiepen runs the company together with his sons Andreas and Florian.

BMW is very proud to be named a Wards 10 Best UX (User Experience) award winner for the BMW X7. Earlier this month, the X6 M was named a Wards 10 Best Interiors award winner for 2020. BMW X7 The seven-passenger BMW X7 arrived in 2019 and immediately resonated with BMW customers looking for the increased space and comfort of a three-row Sports Activity Vehicle without any compromises in performance or handling which BMW is renowned for. The X7’s luxuriously appointed interior is underpinned by the very best technology that BMW has to offer. Now in its seventh generation, BMW’s iDrive and the new Live Cockpit Professional work together to offer the driver and passengers multiple ways to interact with their Ultimate Driving Machine. Two 12.3-inch fully digital displays and large colorful head-up display deliver information in an easy to use and intuitive format. From the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant’s voice control to the central touch screen, hand gestures and familiar iDrive rotary controller, ways of interacting with your BMW has never been more effortless. “We are grateful to the WardsAuto jurors for their continued vehicle testing in these unprecedented times to bring important information to the new car shoppers.” said Ralph Mahler, Head of BMW Product Planning and Strategy. “BMW first introduced the concept of iDrive nineteen years ago and with today’s seventh generation, it is truly the most intuitive interface in the industry. We want to offer our owners the choice to interact with their BMW in any way they want to, and our new user interface delivers on this promise.” “The X7, BMW’s largest vehicle ever, incorporates the first-rate drivetrain and interior one would expect from the German luxury brand, but it’s also designed to sooth the soul with a user experience beyond compare,” says Tom Murphy, WardsAuto Managing Editor. “The X7 has a ‘Caring Car’ menu as part of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, which serves as a portal to personal wellness and rejuvenation. The X7’s infotainment system also has ‘Experience Modes’ to tailor your ride for optimum comfort. The driver can toggle through ‘Executive,’ ‘Expressive’ and ‘Well Being,’ each one adjusting comfort settings based on your mood or situation. Beyond all that, the X7 has quick phone pairing, wireless charging, WiFi connectivity, up to eight USB ports, brilliant graphics, an intuitive iDrive user interface and top-notch driver-assistance systems. You can’t ask for much more.” BMW X6 M When the BMW X6 was first introduced, it started a completely new Sports Activity Coupe segment in the industry. Now, twelve years later, in its recently launched third generation, the X6 and the 600 hp X6 M in particular continue to win over enthusiasts not only in the U.S. but around the world. “Customers are drawn to the X6 M’s muscular and outgoing personality.” said Ralph Mahler, Head of BMW Product Planning and Strategy. “We are especially proud of the global success story that this vehicle, designed for and built in the U.S. market, has become. The designers, engineers and product planners have all worked very hard to deliver on the customers’ expectations of their X6 M providing the absolute best combination of luxury and sport. We thank the WardsAuto editors for this important recognition and are happy to accept it on everyone’s behalf.” “There are certain design and styling elements that make a BMW interior unmistakable.” said Tom Murphy, WardsAuto Managing Editor. “The dramatic coupe-like profile makes the X6 look much sportier than a conventional SUV, and the interior amplifies these themes with carbon-fiber trim, tri-color stitching and a color scheme that demands your attention. But it’s the seats, with hexagonal quilting on Merino leather, that shine as the brightest star in the X6 M interior, with integrated head restraints and massive shoulder and hip bolsters that secure front-row occupants for the full experience of the Ultimate Driving Machine.”

The first BMW models equipped with SiriusXM with 360L are expected to be available at BMW dealerships this summer.

With the latest SiriusXM with 360L listening experience, drivers and their passengers gain access to more than 10,000 hours of SiriusXM’s recorded On Demand content whenever they want – including exclusive interviews, unique shows and live performances.
