BMW Center Installed Accessories

Among many center-installed items that may be purchased for both M3 models are:

• Alarm system. A multi-function, keyhead-integrated remote control is standard.
• SIRIUS Satellite Radio, now available for the Coupe and to be available later for the Convertible.
• 6-disc CD changer. Installs in the trunk.

BMW Assist: Extra Security and Convenience for the BMW Owner

This comprehensive program of safety and security oriented customer services is available as part of the Premium Package or as a stand-alone option for the Coupe; it is standard with the Convertible.

The in-vehicle equipment for BMW Assist includes GPS technology, plus SOS and "wrench" buttons located on the interior rearview mirror's housing. Vehicle occupants may request emergency or other services simply by pressing a button; the BMW Assist system then transmits the location and vehicle information to the BMW Assist Response Center. A response specialist will then speak with the occupants to coordinate dispatch, notify emergency contacts on file, and link BMW Roadside Assistance or emergency services as needed and requested. Deployment of an airbag automatically activates BMW Assist as well.

A year's subscription to the BMW Assist Safety Plan is included with the option; after the initial year, there is an annual fee. In addition to the Safety Plan, subscribers to the BMW Assist Convenience Plan (available at extra cost) can call a toll-free 800 number to avail themselves of many Concierge services, from travel planning to dining reservations, shopping assistance and event tickets.

Like all current models, every new M3 is covered by BMW's 4-year/50,000-mile limited warranty; corrosion coverage is for 12 years/unlimited miles. Every new BMW also continues to come standard with a 4-year/50,000-mile Full Maintenance Program for customer convenience, peace of mind and economic benefit.



Performance With a Conscience

BMW strives to produce its motor vehicles and other products with the utmost attention to environmental compatibility and protection. Integrated into the design and development of BMW automobiles are such criteria as resource efficiency and emission control in production; environmentally responsible selection of materials; recyclability during production and within the vehicle; elimination of CFCs and hazardous materials in production; and continuing research into environmentally friendly automotive power sources. Tangible results of these efforts include the recycling of bumper cladding into other vehicle components; water-based paint color coats and powder clear coats; and various design and engineering elements that help make BMWs easier to dismantle at the end of their service life.
