      • Genuine Sales? on Apr 26, 2013 at 1:46 pm

        This is utter lies lah. The actual fact is this, BMW Malaysia sells about 1000 cars per year to Hertz Rental (now Sime Darby Rental) to be used as part of Sime Darby’s fleet of cars for their staff who are VP1 and above. Yes, SIme Darby Group has about 1000 over staff entitled to BMWs. Sime Darby owns both BMW Malaysia, Auto Bavaria and also Hertz Rental. So, is it really sales? You are selling to your downstream or upstream company as company cars. BMW Malaysia is owned by Sime Darby at the end of the day, so, it is really genuine sales?

        Nearly every other BMW in Malaysia has the yellow No 1 sticker on the back indicating it is a company car.

      I don’t think its that high compared to the X1 but it certainly has a lot more boot space though.

      I’ve also seen a lot of owners complain on their FB page, CKD models no good?
