BMW Group Malaysia ended 2022 with 14,466 vehicles delivered, including 1,233 MINI cars and 1,378 BMW Motorrad bikes.

Managing Director Hans de Visser said the figures has kept BMW Group Malaysia ahead as Malaysia’s No.1 premium automotive company, for the third time in a row, now with a market share of over 50 percent.

For its namesake BMW brand vehicles alone, the company has delivered 11,855 vehicles, up 37.8 percent from the year before, giving it a 45 percent market share.

“Of course the registration figures are not out yet but I guarantee you we have over 50 percent market share in the premium segment. 50 percent market share in the premium segment means that ever second premium car that you see on the road is a product from the BMW Group, either a BMW or MINI,” said de Visser at this morning’s launch of the new 2023 BMW 3 Series.
