Let’s talk about courage,
and why we need it more than ever.
This is where
a new kind of luxury is born,
in brave ideas, in the confidence
to speak out loud.
Even if nobody asks for it.
WHEN SIZE ALLOWS SPACE,
UNIQUE THINGS CAN ARISE.
WHEN CURIOSITY MEETS EXPERIENCE AND AMBITION
MEETS PERFECTION, AN INSIGHT IS REFLECTED:
PRESENCE IS A MATTER OF APPEAL.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE THINGS THAT
BELONG TOGETHER ALWAYS FIND EACH OTHER.
PRESENCE MEETS CHARISMA AND DYNAMISM.
THE RESULT IS TRUE GREATNESS.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO CHANGE PERSPECTIVE
TO REALISE: PERSONALITY SURPASSES EVERYTHING.
SPATIAL THINKING IS A SKILL. TO SEE A SPACE AS
A LIVING SPACE IS AN ART. TO TAKE THIS SPACE
IS REAL FREEDOM.
THERE ARE PLACES THAT MAGICALLY ATTRACT
US AND ONCE WE ARRIVE THERE, WE DON’T
WANT TO LEAVE. UNLESS THE REASON TO DO IT
ANYWAY IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.
SOMETIMES YOU WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING
EXTRAORDINARY, SOMETIMES YOU WANT TO
EXPERIENCE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY. IN ANY CASE,
THE MOMENT BECOMES SOMETHING SPECIAL.
YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE ORDINARY
UNIQUE THINGS FASCINATE YOU EVEN ON
THE THOUSANDTH ENCOUNTER.
UP THERE. PHENOMENAL. IMPRESSIVE. SOMETIMES
SIZE DOES HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH GREATNESS.
CHARACTER. STRENGTH. PERSONALITY. CHARISMA.
THOSE WHO HAVE IT DO NOT NEED TO PROVE IT.
WHOEVER MEETS IT RECOGNISES IT IMMEDIATELY.

The optional BMW Individual Ametrine metallic exterior paintwork is particularly eye-catching due to its rich colour brilliance and the
unique colour-shifting effect. The reason for this is the Xirallic pigment, which creates a dazzling glittering effect through the addition
of metal flops, which even increases in sunlight – a unique paint finish for a unique vehicle.
Available from August 2019.
