Kuala Lumpur, 16th April 2014 – Here’s some good news for BMW fans – for the first time in Malaysia, you can come and experience BMW at the BMW World Exhibition, which will be held at the Bukit Kiara Indoor Arena, Bukit Kiara. The exhibition starts tomorrow (17 April 2015), and will be on through the weekend. The exhibition also includes a comprehensive range of Motorrad vehicles.

Here, fans will be able to lay eyes on some interesting concept vehicles, including the BMW 328 Hommage in Asia as well as the BMW Concept Roadster motorcycle for the first time in Malaysia.

During the opening ceremony held today, Mr. Alan Harris, Managing Director and CEO of BMW Group Malaysia said, “We at BMW have always believed in creating an all-round unforgettable experience for our customers, and we wanted to do so through a space which communicates the heart of the brands we carry. We hope that with the BMW World Malaysia, our valued customers will enjoy a brand experience that is unlike any other.”

Open to the public from 17th to 19th of April 2015, the BMW World Malaysia will feature the largest display of premium automobiles represented by the BMW Group, which includes the introduction of the all-new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the new BMW X6 and for the first time in Malaysia, BMW i with the all-new BMW i8.

For MINI, the BMW World Malaysia will introduce the new MINI John Cooper Works, the new MINI Cooper 5-Door and the new locally-assembled MINI Cooper Countryman.

For BMW Motorrad, BMW World Malaysia introduces new motorcycles in the form of the BMW S 1000 RR and the new BMW R 1200 R.

Mr. Harris added that the opening of the BMW World in Malaysia sets an unprecedented standard in the Malaysian automotive industry and will further solidify the company’s position as the leading premium car brand in the country.

“In the first three months of 2015, we at BMW Group Malaysia delivered a total of 1,729 BMW, MINI and Motorrad vehicles. This performance is in tandem with what we have observed in the Malaysian auto industry due to over speculation on pricing post GST. As we now progress further into 2015, we hope that car buyers have a much clearer conscience when deciding on their new BMW, MINI or Motorrad.” said Harris.

BMW Group Malaysia also announced that the premium automaker is revising the prices of all its BMW and MINI vehicles lower by up to 1.9% as well as BMW Motorrad to be lower by up to 18% to transfer the benefits gained from the implementation of the GST to its customers.
