Overview - Rockies By BMW
|
| Take in the magnificent panorama of the Canadian Rockies as you travel the famed winding mountain roads between Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise. Join us as we cruise along the magnificent Icefields Parkway behind the wheel of a convertible BMW, take in the picturesque Alpine lakes and grassy meadows, hike among snow-capped peaks, enjoy superb meals and finish each day at legendary hotels. |
Highlights
SEE The massive horns of the male Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep as you wind your way through the mountainous terrain of Canada's rugged western countryside.
SMELL the mountain fresh air high on top of the snow-capped Rockies as you stop to stretch your legs after an exhilirating day of driving a BMW Z4 3.0si. The crisp breeze awakens the senses reminding you of the joys of being alive.
TASTE the sugary-sweet sensation of fresh maple syrup, drizzled upon a liberal portion of stacked, buttery Canadian flapjacks, complemented with a delicious side oder of juicy pemeal bacon.
TOUCH the silky scales of a powerful bass as you reel in the catch of the day from the depths of the pristine Kootenay Lake. Afterwards lay back and soak in the hot tub with a refreshment while reliving your day's successes.
HEAR the sonorous purr of the Z4 Coupe 3.0 Si, with its 255 horsepower in-line six-cylinder engine as you "drop the hammer" down the Icefields Parkway in the Alberta countryside.

BMW 3 Series. As elegant as it is powerful. As spontaneous as it is passionate. The new 330Ci convertible offers enthusiasts the best of all possible worlds - the fun, freedom and exhilaration of open air, open road motoring, combining with the unmatched driving pleasure of a thoroughbred BMW sports car. The 330Ci is the third 3 Series soft top model since 1985 and the latest and most elegant member of the E46 BMW 3 Series family.

Z4. Long bonnet, long wheelbase, short overhangs - the BMW Z4 Roadster has classic roadster proportions, but combines them with a style that's all its own. The concave and convex lines create an intriguing interplay of light and shade, the striking nose bears a prominent double-kidney grille and the rear has an unmistakably sporty look. It all adds up to a roadster that's as thrilling to look at as it is to drive.

 |
BMW X3. A truly versatile car sets no limits to your imagination. Whether you are travelling with family or friends, on business or on holiday, life is rich with opportunities. Now you can explore them all. Sheer charisma is one of the greatest strengths of the BMW X3. Its sporting profile and powerful contouring immediately seize the attention. Sophisticated detailing, such as the body-colour front and rear bumpers, distinctive headlights and striking rear lights, underscore the dynamic proportions. Whichever way you look at it, the BMW X3 is sure to be the centre of attention.

BMW X5. From launch in Australia in November 2000, the phenomenally successful, sporting and luxurious X5 Sports Activity vehicle created a new segment in the 4WD market, and has dominated sales in this increasingly competitive sector. BMW Australia expects the specification improvement, subtle styling improvements and exceptionally high levels of standard equipment will support the X5's continued dominance of the top end of the large luxury all-wheel drive market.
