Those who make the innovations and those who imitate them. At the Bavarian Motor Works, we've always had a preference for the former. And the technology to back up our preference. Our new engine just happens to be the perfect case in point. A V-8 THAT PUTS THE STATUS QUO ON NOTICE. The search for an eight-cylinder engine worthy of the BVW name- plate began 560 engines ago. In other words, 560 different engines were built, tested and destroyed to develop this one. One whose advanced motronics system actually adjusts the engine while it's running. Over 300 times a sec- ov''• ond. Making it so technologically sophisticated, our engineers were able to blast sand into its intake and ice into its radiator without it miss- ing a single beat. One whose engine block was forged from a material so exiraordi- narily light, it demands only modest amounts of fuel. And, perhaps most importantly, one whose 282 horsepower can propel you from a standstill to 60 mph in a succinct 7.1 seconds. In short, a V-8 engine like none that has ever come before it. Linking you to BMW's benchmark power plant is a 5-speed automatic transmission of equal merit. An automatic transmission that's sealed, so it requires no additional fluid. And therefore, absolutely no •• mainte- nance. 4...5 V' • ........... it reacts almost intuitively to the driver. Combine that with a chassis, sus- pension and steering system that same magazine has deemed "tight, responsive, and confidence-inspir- ing," and you begin to appreciate the true scope of our innovations. INTRODUCING THE BIVW740i. Needless to say, a vehicle with so much new technology deserves a new name to go with it (or, in our case, a new number). Henceforth, the designation: 740i. Like all BMW's, however, this car is backed by a comprehensive cus- tomer care program that includes a 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to- bumper warranty,Th countrywide Roadside Assistance plan, an option- al maintenance program and a free loaner car should you need one.
