BMW announces new diesel options

German luxury carmaker BMW has launched the locally-assembled diesel variant of the 5 Series saloon, along with major revisions to its BMW and MINI Service Inclusive programme with flexible more options.
Stefan Teuchert, President, BMW Group Thailand, said: “Our announcements today represent both a statement of commitment to BMW customers and a response to the ever-changing circumstances in the automotive world. From the ability to choose exactly the right BMW and MINI service package for their needs to the perfect powertrain for everyday driving pleasure, we are empowering current and prospective BMW and MINI owners to bring to life their very own vision of an ideal driving experience.
“Furthermore, the new BMW 520d Sport marks yet another addition to the expansive range of BMW Group automobiles assembled here in Thailand at our exceptionally capable plant in Rayong, making the ‘business athlete’ mobility of the new BMW 5 Series more easily accessible for Thai motorists.”
BMW 520d Sport is priced at Bt3.49 million, comes with the latest gesture control function and a 10.25-inch display. It’s powered by a 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine with 400Nm of torque, offering an average fuel consumption of 20.0km/litre, which is equivalent to eco cars.
Meanwhile in the first major revision to its BMW and MINI Service Inclusive program, BMW Group Thailand is offering customers an unprecedented degree of flexibility in choosing the right level of maintenance services for their individual driving needs. The past terms of BSI coverage, with up to 5 years / 100,000 kilometres of maintenance and 5-year / unlimited mileage warranty, has been updated to provide an expanded range of service and warranty packages at varying prices for each and every model from BMW and MINI to ensure peace of mind on the customer’s own choices.
