by hlk Tue 05 Jun 2012, 08:17
BMW Group Malaysia has introduced its first batch of locally-assembled
production model of the new BMW 320d and BMW 328i at the BMW assembly
plant in Kulim, Kedah.
In a statement here today, the company
said in March this year, the premium sports sedan has rapidly grown to
become the number one bestseller and key contributor towards making it
Malaysia's number one best-selling premium carmaker.
The new
locally-assembled units of the BMW 3 Series were identical in all
respects to their imported counterparts which further allows the company
to optimise its supply to customers nationwide as well as maximising
the total cost of ownership value, waiting time for complete units and
spare parts for BMW customers in the country.
It said the BMW 3
Series has been and continues to be the best-selling sports sedan
anywhere in the world with well over 12 million units delivered since
1975.
"With local assembly operations now fully underway, we are
confident that the sixth generation BMW 3 Series will continue to be a
core contributor to our business success for years to come," it said.
Operational
since 2008, the BMW assembly plant in Kulim has been an integral part
of the group's success in Malaysia with a production run of more than
12,000 units to date.
With a workforce of over 250 employees and
equipped with the latest in manufacturing technologies, the plant
generates variants of the BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series and BMW X1 in
Malaysia.
The BMW Assembly Plant is operated in partnership with
Inokom Corporation, a subsidiary of Sime Darby Bhd, at the Inokom
factory in Kulim, Kedah. -- Bernama
