PRESS RELEASE

MAGNA STRENGTHENS POSITION IN AUTOMOTIVE PUMPS THROUGH TWO ACQUISITIONS

October 1, 2012, Aurora, Ontario, Canada - Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG;
NYSE: MGA) announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire ixetic
Verwaltungs GmbH ("ixetic"), a manufacturer of automotive vacuum, engine and
transmission pumps with two manufacturing facilities in Germany, and one in
each of Bulgaria and China. ixetic had full year 2011 total sales of
approximately Euro 300 million.

"ixetic's technologies, footprint and diverse customer base make it an
excellent fit with our current capabilities in engine and transmission pumps"
stated Don Walker, Magna's Chief Executive Officer. "Together, our global reach
and capabilities position us to support our combined customers and their desire
for more efficient powertrain solutions."

The purchase price payable for 100% of the outstanding shares of ixetic, on a
cash-free and debt-free basis, is approximately Euro 308 million, including the
effect of the estimated closing adjustments.

This transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject
to obtaining European anti-trust approval.

In a separate transaction, Magna, through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries,
has signed an agreement with its joint venture partner to purchase the
remaining 50% interest in STT Technologies Inc., a leading supplier of
transmission and engine related oil pumps serving the North American automotive
market.

This transaction is expected to close in October, 2012.

"With these transactions, Magna's capabilities in this product area will be
strengthened and its position as a leading automotive pump supplier capable of
satisfying the global requirements of OEMs will immediately be enhanced," said
Don Walker.
