GENERAL INFORMATION
Requirements
This Base Prospectus contains as of the date hereof all such information as investors and their
professional advisers would reasonably require, and reasonably expect to find, for the purpose of making
an informed assessment of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses, and prospects
of the Issuers and the Guarantor and of the rights attached to the relevant Notes.
Responsibility of the Dealers
The Dealers have not independently verified the information contained herein. Accordingly, no
representation, warranty or undertaking, whether expressed or implied, is made, and no responsibility is
accepted, by the Dealers (in their capacity as Dealers) with respect to the accuracy or completeness of
this Base Prospectus or any further information supplied in connection with the Programme. The Dealers
accept no liability in relation to this Base Prospectus or its distribution or with regard to other information
supplied by the Issuers or the Guarantor herein, save for mandatory provisions of law.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, certain Dealers and their affiliates may make
or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative
securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of
their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of
the Issuer or Issuer's affiliates. Certain of the Dealers or their affiliates that have a lending relationship
with the Issuer routinely hedge their credit exposure to the Issuer consistent with their customary risk
management policies. Typically, such Dealers and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering
into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short
positions in securities, including potentially the Notes issued under the Programme. Any such positions
could adversely affect future trading prices of Notes issued under the Programme. The Dealers and their
affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research
views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that
they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
Exclusiveness
Neither the Issuers nor the Guarantor have authorised the making or provision of any representation or
information regarding the Issuers, the Guarantor or the Notes other than as contained or incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus, or any final terms the form of which is described in Part F.IV of this
Base Prospectus (for each tranche of Notes, the "Final Terms", which document may also include
information relating to the relevant tranche of Notes (each a "Tranche") other than the relevant Terms and
Conditions (as defined below)) or as approved for such purpose by the Issuers. Any such representation
or information should not be relied upon as having been authorised by any Issuer or Dealer or the
Guarantor.
Significance of Delivery
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms nor the offering, sale or delivery of any
Note shall in any circumstances create any implication that there has been no adverse change in the
financial situation of any Issuer or the Guarantor since the date hereof.
The delivery of this Base Prospectus or any Final Terms or the offering, sale or delivery of any Note does
not at any time imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuers and the Guarantor is
correct at any time subsequent to the date thereof or that any other written information delivered in
connection therewith is correct as at any time subsequent to the date indicated in t he document containing
the same.
Restriction on Distribution
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery of the
Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Base
Prospectus comes are required by the Issuers, the Guarantor and the Dealers to inform themselves about
and to observe any such restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries
of Notes and on distribution of this Base Prospectus and other offering material relating to the Notes
please refer to the Selling Restrictions set out in Part G of this Base Prospectus. In particular, the Notes
1

and the Guarantee have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act and may include
Notes in bearer form which are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the
Notes and the Guarantee may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the
account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act).
Exclusion
This Base Prospectus on its own does not constitute an offer or an invitation to subscribe for or purchase
any Notes and should not be considered as a recommendation by any Issuer, the Guarantor or any Dealer
that any recipient of this Base Prospectus should subscribe for or purchase any Notes. Each recipient
shall be taken to have made its own investigation and appraisal of the financial condition and affairs as
well as of the creditworthiness of any Issuer and of the Guarantor. This Base Prospectus may not be used
for the purpose of an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is
not authorised or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. This Base
Prospectus is not intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation.
Stabilisation Manager
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
stabilisation manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a stabilisation manager) in the applicable Final
Terms may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes
at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur.
Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms
of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must
end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche or Notes and 60 days
after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes.
Any such stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant stabilisation
manager (or person(s) acting on behalf of any stabilisation manager(s)) in accordance with all
applicable laws and rules (including rules and other regulatory requirements governing any stock
exchange where such Notes are listed).
Benchmarks Regulation
Interest amounts payable under floating rate Notes may be calculated by reference to (i) Euro Interbank
Offered Rate (the "EURIBOR"), which is currently provided by the European Money Markets Institute
("EMMI"), or (ii) the Constant Maturity Swap ("CMS"), which is currently provided by ICE Benchmark
Administration ("IBA"), or (iii) the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), which is currently provided
by the Bank of England, or (iv) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is currently
provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or (v) the Euro-Short Term Rate ("STR"), which is
published by the European Central Bank since 2 October 2019. As at the date of this Base Prospectus,
SONIA, SOFR and STR do not fall within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks
Regulation"). As at the date of this Base Prospectus, EMMI does appear on the register of administrators
and benchmarks (the "Benchmark Register") established and maintained by the European Securities
and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation, while IBA, the Bank
of England, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the European Central Bank do not appear on the
Benchmarks Register.

Each potential investor in Notes must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own
circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the relevant Notes,
the merits and risks of investing in the relevant Notes and the information contained or
incorporated by reference into this Base Prospectus or any supplement hereto;
(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation and the investment(s) it is considering, an investment in the Notes
and the impact the Notes will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
relevant Notes, including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from
the potential investor's currency;
2

(iv)
understand thoroughly the terms of the relevant Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of
financial markets;
(v)
be aware that it may be required to pay taxes or other documentary charges or duties in
accordance with the laws and practices of the country where the Notes are transferred or other
jurisdictions;
(vi)
ask for its own tax adviser's advice on its individual taxation with respect to the acquisition, sale
and redemption of the Notes; and
(vii)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
EEA Retail Investors
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area
(the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client
as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive
2016/97/EU (as amended or superseded, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer
would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document
required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended or superseded, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail
investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation.
MIFID II Product Governance / Target Market
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance"
which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution
of the Notes are appropriate in each case as of the date of the relevant Final Terms. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration
the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its
own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"),
any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither
the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose
of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
UK Retail Investors
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "Prohibition of sales to UK Retail
Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these
purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point
(8) of Article 2(1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565 (as amended) as it forms part of
English law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within
the meaning of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended ("FSMA") and any rules or
regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation
(EU) No 600/2014 (as amended) as it forms part of English law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in point (e) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended) as it
forms part of English law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no
key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended) as it forms part of
English law by virtue of EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor or in the UK may be unlawful under the
UK PRIIPs Regulation.
3

UK MiFIR Product Governance / Target Market
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance"
which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution
of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a
"UK distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a UK distributor
subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the " UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect
of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such
Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MIFIR Product Governance Rules.

Part A of the Base Prospectus
General Description of the Programme

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
General
Notes will be issued in Tranches, one or more of which shall comprise a series ("Series").
Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer and the
relevant Dealer(s) (as defined below) and as indicated in the applicable Final Terms save that the
minimum denomination of the Notes wil be, if in euro, EUR 1,000, and, if in any currency other than euro,
an amount in such other currency nearly equivalent to EUR 1,000 at the time of the issue of Notes. Subject
to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, and requirements of relevant central banks, Notes may
be issued in euro or any other currency. The Notes are issued in bearer form under German law.
In addition to the above paragraph, Notes issued by BMW US Capital with a maturity at issuance of 183
days or less will have a minimum denomination of USD 500,000 or its equivalent in other specified foreign
currencies at the date of issue.
Under the Prospectus Regulation, prospectuses relating to notes having a maturity at issue of less than
12 months are not subject to the approval provisions.
The Notes are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the respective Issuer
and rank equally with all its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
Notes issued by BMW Finance N.V., BMW US Capital, LLC, BMW International Investment B.V. and BMW
Japan Finance Corp. will have the benefit of a guarantee (the "Guarantee") given by BMW AG
(the "Guarantor"). The Guarantee constitutes an irrevocable, unsecured and unsubordinated obligation
of the Guarantor ranking equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor
(other than statutorily preferred indebtedness).
Notes may be issued with such maturities as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant
Dealer(s), subject to a minimum maturity of 30 days, as indicated in the applicable Final Terms (except in
any case, such other minimum or maximum maturity as may be allowed or required from time to time by
the relevant central bank (or equivalent body) or any laws or regulations applicable to the Issuer or the
relevant Specified Currency (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes)).
Notes may be issued at an issue price, which is at par or at a discount to, or premium over, par, as stated
in the relevant Final Terms. The issue price for Notes to be issued wil be determined at the time of pricing
on the basis of a yield which will be determined on the basis of the orders of the investors which are
received by the Dealers during the offer period. Orders will specify a minimum yield and may only be
confirmed at or above such yield. The resulting yield will be used to determine an issue price, all to
correspond to the yield.
The yield for Notes with fixed interest rates will be calculated by the use of the ICMA method, which
determines the effective interest rate of notes taking into account accrued interest on a daily basis.
Notes may be offered to qualified investors and/or retail investors as further specified in the relevant Final
Terms.

Authorisations
The amendment and restatement of the Programme and the issue of Notes under the Programme have
been duly authorised by resolutions of the relevant Board of Management, namely by BMW Finance
passed on 31 March 2022; by BMW US Capital passed on 31 March 2022; by BMW International
