Woodcliff Lake, NJ - October 18, 2006... The holidays are coming early for 50
Neiman Marcus customers who managed to place their calls into BMW to order the
new 2007 BMW M6 Convertible that was featured in this year's Neiman Marcus
Christmas Book, as it went on sale today at 12 PM, EDT.

As the clock struck noon, the 1-866-303-2696 phone lines were completely lit up
with buyers who wanted to be sure they were among the first in the U.S. to own
the just-introduced Limited Edition M6. The Convertible sold out in a mere one
