For enthusiasts who can't wait until the teenage years to indulge their passion for high performance driving, the BMW Baby Racer II has arrived -- and just in time for fall driving fun. The newest model to enter the BMW family, the Baby Racer II offers hours of two-foot powered fun for children ages 18 months to 3 years old with real electronic front and rear lights, and turn signals.

Young drivers are destined to be the envy of the neighborhood -- or the playground -- in this new model. The Baby Racer II features BMW's trademark twin-kidney grille and logo, creased bodywork and distinctive spoilers, as well as a dark green body. In addition, savvy drivers will marvel at the signature double round headlights and tail lights, motorsport-styled wheels and a specially designed steering wheel with an integrated horn. Children will feel like "real" drivers as they cruise around and turn corners using electronic lights and turn signals.

Besides being a sheer delight to drive, the Baby Racer II is easy on the gas tank as it only relies on power fueled by a child's feet and enthusiasm behind the wheel. And, finding a parking space is easy. The toy car is only 28 inches long, 13 inches wide and 17 inches high, and it weighs 12 pounds.

The suggested retail price of the Baby Racer II is $160 and includes BMW's one-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. The car requires size AA batteries for the electronic lights and indicators. It is available at BMW retailers nationwide, by calling (888) 269-6654 or by logging on to www.bmw-online.com.
