BMW Rolls Out Sirius Satellite Radio as Factory Option on New 5 Series Sedan
Woodcliff Lake, NJ - December 24, 2003? BMW will offer SIRIUS Satellite Radio systems (NASDAQ: SIRI) as a factory option on 2004 5 Series sedans this month and as a dealer installed accessory in February 2004 at BMW centers across the country.
SIRIUS satellite radio, known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, can be installed as a factory option for only $595.00. The price includes a one-year pre-paid subscription plus two bonus months of free SIRIUS service and free activation. SIRIUS provides 5 Series drivers with 60 streams of 100% commercial free music and over 40 streams of sports, news, and entertainment, including weather, sports play-by-play, and an array of original programming, coast-to-coast.
BMW, the first premium automobile manufacturer to offer SIRIUS Satellite radio, makes SIRIUS available as a dealer-installed accessory on select 2004 3 Series Sedans, Coupes and Convertibles, 5 Series Sedans, select X5 SAVs, and on the all-new X3 SAV.
"BMW is excited to make the enhanced audio experience of SIRIUS Satellite Radio available on so many BMW products by offering it now as a factory option on the newly redesigned 5 Series, providing BMW customers the level of integration and convenience they expect,? said Jim McDowell, BMW Vice President of Marketing.
?BMW owners appreciate premium services and SIRIUS? uncompromised service fits perfectly into their lifestyles,? said Doug Wilsterman, SIRIUS Senior Vice President, OEM Automotive. ?Whether they?re cruising their neighborhood or taking a road trip across the country, 5 Series drivers will have SIRIUS by their side right from the start.?
BMW Assist And Hands-Free Calling Now Available On Every BMW
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, November 13, 2003? BMW now offers its customers the safety of location-based services under the brand name BMW Assist TM as well as the convenience of hands-free calling for all model year 2004 cars and SAVs.
BMW Assist is standard on all 2004 5 and 7 Series cars, and optional or included with the Premium Package on the X5, Z4 and 3 Series, even the upcoming X3. BMW pays for the first year of service; annual renewals thereafter cost $240. BMW Assist customers have 24-hour access to Emergency and Roadside Assistance at just the push of a button or even automatically in the event an airbag deploys. BMW Assist uses advanced technology to bring the focused attention of a response specialist to the BMW driver?s aid when it is needed most. Combining a built-in wireless device for communication and a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to determine the vehicle?s location, the BMW Assist system conveniently delivers both occupant security and premium Concierge services to enhance the BMW driving experience at an affordable price. The services are described in detail below.
Automatic Collision Notification. The BMW Assist system automatically transmits location coordinates and vehicle information to the BMW Assist response center after an airbag deploys. A response specialist speaks with the customer through the BMW Assist hands-free communication system. Based on the occupants? response, or even if they cannot respond, the specialist will coordinate the dispatch of emergency personnel to the vehicle?s location through the local 911 center.
Emergency Request. A push of the conveniently located ?SOS? or ?Emergency? button initiates the same services as described above. In addition to contacting the 911 center, the response center can notify the subscriber?s emergency contacts upon request as well as link to BMW Roadside Assistance.
Enhanced Roadside Assistance. If the subscriber experiences a flat tire, runs out of gas, or has any serious vehicle malfunction, a push of the ?Roadside Assistance? button transmits the vehicle location and other information. Then, the BMW Assist response center links the information and subscriber to BMW Roadside Assistance for an accurate dispatch.
Concierge. For help buying concert tickets, making dinner reservations, or finding the perfect gift, among many other possibilities, the subscriber calls a personal assistant by dialing a toll-free number from any phone, any time.
Owners? Circle. The subscriber becomes a member of BMW?s award-winning customer web site located at www.bmwusa.com with online access to their Owner?s Manual, maintenance history, BMW Financial Services, and more.
Customer Relations and your BMW center. The subscriber can contact these resources at the touch of the iDrive controller in the 5 and 7 Series to get answers to questions or to conveniently schedule a service appointment.
Hands-free calling. Every 7 Series owner receives a Motorola CPT9000 handset, which can be activated on their choice of the Verizon Wireless, Alltel, AT&T Wireless or Cingular networks. The phone can be docked in the center console for recharging, access to an external antenna and safe hands-free operation through the innovative iDrive system, or steering wheel controls and speech recognition system. For all other models hands-free calling can be extended to the BMW Assist system through a BMW center-installed integration kit.
Bluetooth TM. The Bluetooth Universal Hands-free Phone System can be installed by BMW centers into the following vehicles, if they?re not already equipped with BMW Assist:
o 3 Series Sedans and Sport Wagons produced since March 2002 (Will be available on 3 Series Coupe December 2003)
o 5 Series Sedans and M5s produced since March 2002, and
o X5 Sport Activity Vehicles produced since April 2002.
This innovative offering allows the customer to operate a Bluetooth phone in a truly wireless hands-free mode, even dialing numbers through its own advanced voice recognition system, stored by either number or name. Steering wheel controls and display of dialed and incoming call numbers and names (if stored in the phone?s address book) enhances safety and ease of use.
Also had the following confirmed when I asked my dealer (Beck Row Military Sales, UK near RAF Mildenhall):
"The 5 Series cars do have blue tooth fitted and are issued with a bluetooth passkey.
I have raised the questions with our Munich office as to exactly when the 1 year starts for both the radio and the BMW Assist and how they are both initialised. I believe they have referred to BMW of North America on this issue and it may take a few days before I get a response. Will let you know as soon as I have anything."
