BMW MOTORCYCLE SALES HEAT UP IN 2006

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - January 11, 2007... There may be a chill in the air,
but sales of BMW motorcycles continue to be hot. Worldwide BMW motorcycle
sales for December were up 36.8 percent over the same period the previous
year, while annual sales topped 100,000 units. BMW Motorrad USA, the
importer and distributor of BMW motorcycles in the United States, also
posted increases for December as well as annual sales.

The strong performance was due to the introduction of new models as well as
the continued performance of existing models. At the head of the list was
the top-selling model - the R 1200 RT - which was named "Best Touring Bike"
in 2006 for the second year in a row by editors of Motorcyclist Magazine.
BMW's R 1200 GS model - named "Best Adventure Bike" last year by
Motorcyclist - accounted for the marque's second highest volume. The F 650
GS was BMW's third best-selling bike. The new K 1200 GT, R 1200 GS
Adventure, R 1200 S and R 1200 R were highlights of BMW's on-going product
offensive.

Never missing a beat when it comes to bringing new models to market, BMW
Motorrad USA will introduce several new motorcycles for 2007 - the G 650
series, the F 800 series, and the K 1200 R Sport models - all of which are
expected to contribute to another strong year.
