After more than two decades in operation (1998 to 2019), Auto Bavaria Glenmarie will be relocated to a new facility in November this year. The Sime Darby-owned dealer network has over 30 years of experience representing the brands of BMW Group Malaysia, namely BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad.

The Glenmarie outlet has been one of the key BMW dealerships for Auto Bavaria, having won multiple awards in the past, including the best BMW dealer in the Diamond Category for eight years in a row from BMW Group Malaysia.

To celebrate the success and relocation of the outlet, Auto Bavaria held a farewell event at the facility in conjunction with the Deepavali celebration, which was attended by almost 400 guests, including employees, former dealer principals and managing directors of Auto Bavaria.

Looking forward, Auto Bavaria Glenmarie will move to the new Auto Bavaria Ara Damansara, which is a full-fledged 4S centre that will continue to represent BMW, MINI, BMW Motorrad as well as BMW Premium Selection. The dealership is part of Sime Darby Motor’s first-of-its-kind auto city, an integrated complex located in Ara Damansara that aims to establish itself as a one-stop auto mall.

Built at a cost of RM57 million and spanning over 23,161 square metres, Auto Bavaria Ara Damansara will be the largest BMW facility in Southeast Asia, and will feature the latest corporate identity along with double the workshop capabilities of the Glenmarie facility it replaces.

“It is really important to celebrate the legacy and milestones of Auto Bavaria Glenmarie to ensure that the united spirit among our employees is transitioned over when we begin a new chapter at the new facility in November. The relocation signifies our continued efforts and commitment towards delivering “Sheer Driving Pleasure” as well as an exclusive buying experience that is synonymous with the BMW brand,” said Jeffrey Gan, managing director of Auto Bavaria.
