NEWS photos Mike Wakelield

THE BMWix combines the comforts and styling of a luxury automobile with a precision car

built for sefety and durability.

THE 325ix is the BMW for
driveis who appreciate
BMW performance and
handling, but want the
enhanced road capabilities
that come only with four-
wheel drive.

“The BMWix will appeal
to peosie who demand the
absolute best in performance
and safety,’ says Peter
Ryce, sales manager of Park
Shore BMW.

But this car is not a luxury
bauble. ‘This car is perfect
for people who live in North
and West Vancouver who
have steep driveways or
roads,”’ he says. ‘They will
always get home and also get
back out, regardless of
weather and road condi-
tions.”’

Whether driving up a
steep driveway or whistling
up to Whistler, the BMWix
will ensure its driver arrives
in style.

BMW's all-wheel drive
model combines the charac-
ter of a high-performance
six-cylinder BMW sedan
with all-wheel traction.

Externally, the 325ix is
identified by a deep and
sporty front spoiler, a rear-
deck spoiler and sports
wheels. Sitting slightly
higher for extra ground
clearance, the 325ix also has
distinctive wheel flares and
rocker-panel extensions.

Power comes from = the
sporty 2.5-litre 168-
horsepower engine; a five-
speed manual or four-speed
automatic transmission

combines with BMW's
sophisticated all-wheel drive
systern to deliver the power
to the road with surefooted
balance.

The 325ix is now available
in two- and four-door
models) with manual or
automatic transmission.

The BMWix can be viewed
locally at Park Shore BMW
located at 1500 Fell Avenue,
North Vancouver.

gested retail price for the
