Booth Highlights
BMW, which is promoting a premium brand strategy worldwide, will divide its booth at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show into two sections: one displaying BMW brand products, and the other MINI brand products. Centering on the new 5 Series just launched in July this year, the BMW brand section will showcase the 6 Series, X3 and X5 minor change models, the first to be offered in Japan and Asia. And, in addition to the BMW M3 CSL, which incorporates lightweight technologies used in F1 racing, the booth's attractive product lineup will include the Z4, launched just this year, the 7 Series, augmented by the 760Li with its 6-liter, world's first V12 direct injection gasoline engine with valvetronic, and the 3?Series, that reflects the latest minor changes.
The other half of the display will feature the MINI brand. The MINI, which debuted in Japan at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001, has been a big success in the United States, Europe, and Japan as a premium small car. The MINI, which even today, more than a year since its launch, is achieving registration figures of more than 1,000 vehicles a month in Japan, has been accepted by consumers, whose needs are diversifying, as a smart, youthful, sharply contoured, fashionable and classless car. In addition to the MINI One, MINI Cooper, and MINI Cooper S models, the MINI display will also include a special model fitted with a special kit developed by John Cooper Works.

New 6 Series

Introducing a new dream car, the 6 Series Coup· BMW is not just continuing the heritage of the first legendary 6 Series (1976-1989), but is also maintaining the Company's long tradition of large luxury coupés. This new fascinating sports car characterised by its exclusive style and design language will set new standards in the luxury sports coupé market.

New 5 Series

BMW's 5 Series, which became a best seller all over the world, re-emerges after fully remodeled for the first time in eight years. The new 5 Series, which has already started deliveries in Europe and has become a core model for BMW, beautifully combines sporting, elegant and powerful-looking exterior to set a new benchmark in its class. Just take the wheel to experience its dynamism to the full. Supporting the new 5 Series' incredibly lively styling is the sophisticated overall concept of innovative technologies including aluminium/steel hybrid body structure, Dynamic Drive that suppresses body roll to a minimum in bends, and Active Front Steering, which continuously varies the steering angle according to the vehicle's speed. This new 5 Series is built on the BMW equation of "faster, safer, and more efficient."

New X3 (reference exhibit)

The new BMW X3 combines the outstanding agility of a typical BMW with the wide range of practical uses offered by a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). This represents the first premium offering in the class of SAVs beneath the X5, and by adopting the all-wheel drive system called xDrive for electronically controlling the distribution of torque front-to-rear, X3 comes to market to conquer the world's roads both on and off the beaten track. In addition, the modern design language with interacting concave and convex surfaces gives the X3 a youthful and fresh appearance. Its unique position within the BMW model series is underlined by a wide range of characteristic features such as the newly interpreted, classic "Hofmeister KINK" in the rear side windows.

New X5

The comprehensive improvements performed by BMW on the successful X5 model will finally be available for all to see from autumn 2003. Four years after its launch, the first Sports Activity Vehicle is still enjoying steadily growing popularity. To ensure that this trend is maintained, the engineers and designers of the off-road sports vehicle from the BMW X family got together to devise a thorough revision package, which gave rise to a number of innovations, both technical and visual. Exterior as well as interior design was modified, and while the engine was changed to the one with the latest technology including VALVETRONIC and bi-VANOS, xDrive system was also adopted in the same way as X3.

The R 1200 CL is powered by a flat twin 1170-cc engine, which develops maximum output of 61 ps (45 kW) and maximum torque of 98 Nm. The gearbox teamed with this engine is a newly developed six-speed.
