  • BMW to start motorcycle sales in India by December 2010, to cost 18L & more

    BMW Motorrad to start motorcycle sales in India by December 2010.
    Two importers with three sales outlets appointed.
    Munich. BMW Motorrad starts its sales activities on the Indian motorcycle market with two official importers as of December 2010. With "Deutsche Motoren" in Delhi in the north of India and "Navnit Motors" in Mumbai on the west coast and Bangalore in the southern part of the country, BMW Motorrad is relying on two experienced BMW Group partners. With these three sales outlets the German motorcycle manufacturer is represented in the strategically important regions.
    Hendrik von Kuenheim, General Director BMW Motorrad: "The BMW Group has already established itself very successfully in India with a local BMW automobile production and a sales network for BMW Group automobiles. Now the market for premium motorcycles is beginning to develop, too. The sales activities now commencing with our two experienced BMW Group partners are of long-term significance to BMW Motorrad. We are confident our motorcycles will swiftly become established in timely preparation for the growing market."
    As the most innovative manufacturer of large-volume premium motorcycles in the segments enduro, touring, sports touring and sports, BMW Motorrad is opening a new chapter in its successful market strategy by starting sales activities in India. The motorcycles will be produced at the BMW Motorrad plant in Berlin and supplied to India as CBU (completely built up) units.
    BMW Motorrad will initially offer the current models of the R and K series as well as the superbike S 1000 RR, i.e. premium vehicles in each of the relevant categories. The BMW motorcycles of the R series such as the legendary enduro bike BMW R 1200 GS enthuse customers with their unique and distinctive boxer engine in particular.
    The BMW K models are regarded as the benchmark in the segment of large-volume 4-cylinder motorcycles due to their technological innovations and superior engine output. Both series also offer the very finest quality in chassis technology and an exemplary standard of safety with the BMW Motorrad ABS.
    The S 1000 RR, BMWs first superbike, became the most admired sports bike of its class in the motorcycle season 2010.

            Hi there,

            I am currently residing in UK but soon will be moving home to India. Being a keen biker, I have always been very much interested in BMW bikes specially the new S1000RR but becasue BMW is not officially present in India yet, I am curious to know if the company is planning or thinking about entering Indian Subcontinent in coming months or years so that I can plan my purchase accordingly.

            Many thanks in advance,

            - Abhi

            I have been given your contact details by BMW Group, UK regarding my query on market entry of BMW Motorrad in India.

              Whether BMW motorcycles are on the way to India or not, the above news sounds so sweet . Personally, I'm not a big fan of BMW w.r.t to cars as well as their motorcycles.
              Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle
              Awareness + Skill is what keeps you out of harm's way
              ATGATT + Awareness + Skill means you might Live To Ride another day

                BMW's are always on the pricey side, also they don't look attractive or stylish(may be subjective), but still want to see on the Indian roads.
                Pick up a ride and rewrite yourself to a new Identity.....

                    why would they reply to your mail before a official press release?

                      I respectfully disagree If I had the money BMW would be my first choice in bikes any day. If I had the choice, I've narrowed it down between an R1200 GS or an F800ST/F800R

                      I hope this happens by the time I can afford them

                        I can at least expect an acknowledgement.

                          ^^ The r1200 gs is the most widely used in its segment & for a reason too.
                          ps:refer to BI this month too for additional info

                          Anyways pulsator since you have written to "india" it will obviously be a delayed reponse
