Some of the company’s most recent accomplishments include the successful launch of the BMW X7 in the Middle East, a car the region has long waited for. There has been a high demand since its launch and it is highly anticipated by customers and the media alike.
Another highlight in 2019 is the successful launch of the all-electric BMW i3s in the GCC. BMW’s innovative e-mobility flagship can now also be ordered in Dubai. But these were not the only very important car launches for BMW Group Middle East this year. The recent opening of the state-of-the-art BMW Group Training Centre in Dubai as part of BMW Group’s Customer
Care initiative is another milestone in the regional history of the company.
Around 2,000 sales and aftersales staff from the 14 importers in the Middle East are trained at the centre as BMW Group Middle East moves forward with ambitious plans to build an even more customer-oriented workforce that will serve customers in a better and more efficient way.
