BMW Motorrad

BMW Motorrad Malaysia today introduced two new programs – The BMW Motorrad 3-Year Warranty and Roadside Assistance Programs – setting the benchmark for the premium motorcycle ownership in the country. Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia (below) said, “A complete peace of mind ownership experience is the key to the premium expression of a vehicle from the BMW Group. It is also how we differentiate ourselves in the industry to Make Life A Ride for our customers.”

The All-New BMW Motorrad 3-Year Warranty Program which is backed by BMW Group AG covers free repairs and parts replacement for any manufacture or material defect with unlimited mileage. The Roadside Assistance Program, meanwhile, entitles customers to service by a team of specialists 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide professional and expert support for emergency situations, including towing services, in case of a break-down.

The new programs are applicable on all BMW motorcycles registered from 1 January 2019 onwards with the exception of the BMW HP4 RACE. BMW Motorrad Malaysia has also revised its pricing for all its models. The following is the new price list for BMW Motorrad models:

BMW Motorrad Malaysia provided an exclusive preview of the New BMW F 850 GS at the fifth edition of the BMW Motorrad Nightfuel at Puteri Harbour Front, Johor. Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “It’s exciting to be joined by motorcycle enthusiasts from across the country who show great passion for the BMW Motorrad brand and the premium riding experience that it stands for. The event, now in its fifth edition, demonstrates the strong appeal of the brand in Malaysia, which we aim to carry forward in the improvement of our BMW Motorrad products and services in the future.” As at time of publishing, Piston.my has not received the official on-the-road price of the new F 850 GS.

Last year, BMW Motorrad Malaysia recorded deliveries of 1,052 motorcycles, charting a 5% increase compared to the previous year. With over 900 units of motorcycles already delivered in the first eight months of this year, an increase of over 19% compared to the same period last year, BMW Motorrad Malaysia is on track to achieve stellar performance for motorcycle deliveries this year.

Further solidifying this success, BMW Motorrad Malaysia also thrilled the crowd at the event with an exclusive preview of the New BMW F 850 GS, the newest addition to the middle-class GS family perfect for riders seeking next-level adventure. Owen Riley, Head of BMW Motorrad Malaysia said, “The New BMW F 850 GS promises its owner the ultimate offroad experience, from its sporty design, newly improved engine to its optimised suspension and electronic capabilities. With the riding pleasure it provides, you can truly Make Life A Ride with the New BMW F 850 GS as it is made to take you on and off the road, from open-road touring through to the most adventurous terrain.”

Ever since their debut in 2007, the GS models of the F series have stood for premium riding enjoyment, representing the middle-class Adventure segment. The GS abbreviation represents a perfect synthesis of touring and long-distance capability combined with sporty dynamics and supreme offroad performance. After around ten years of consistent model development, BMW Motorrad has now fully redesigned and reengineered its middle-class GS models, in line with its objective of creating an ultimate riding machine that is even more uncomplicated and carefree, whether used for sport-oriented road riding, on tour complete with luggage and a passenger, or on an adventure trip into offroad terrain.

More on the new BMW F 850 GS…

Sharper GS profile with more dynamic design, and improved wind and weather protection.

The New BMW F 850 GS features a completely new look that benefits from a more dynamic and masculine design. The design with its iconic features such as the asymmetric headlight and the GS-typical flyline make it immediately clear that they belong to the BMW Motorrad GS family. The characteristic flyline emanates from the front GS “beak” (upper wheel cover) over and past the fuel tank and seat bench, to the functionally designed and now considerably slimmer rear.

For improved offroad capability, attention was paid to ensuring that there are no inconvenient corners or edges in the vicinity of the fuel tank and seat bench. The wind and weather protection have also been further optimised. The modular structure of the available windshields (original BMW Motorrad accessories) permits individual configuration to suit the wishes of the rider. Standard-series windshields on the New BMW F 850 GS can be simply exchanged, allowing the rider to increase its characteristics towards offroad use or travel comfort.

 

Powerful, new 2-cylinder in-line engine for dynamic riding enjoyment.

The New BMW F 850 GS is equipped with a newly revised engine that represents the success formula of the GS models in the F series for more than ten years, now in comprehensively reengineered and more distinctive form. Focus has been given to increase both power and torque, while reducing fuel consumption. With a displacement of 853 cc, the New BMW F 850 GS generates 70 kW (95 hp) at 8250 rpm, which translates to a supreme level of engine power.

A crankshaft with a 90-degree journal offset and a 270/450 degree firing interval were employed to achieve a powerful and emotionally appealing sound. Unwanted vibrations are absorbed by the new engine’s two counterbalance shafts.

A self-amplifying, anti-hopping clutch provides a discernible reduction in the operating force of the hand clutch, while the reduction in engine drag torque also enhances safety on the road, particularly in the case of braking manoeuvres performed while changing down in gear. Power transmission to the rear wheel comes from the 6-speed gearbox with secondary drive that is now positioned on the left-hand side, for improved driving dynamics.

 

A range of riding modes for greater riding enjoyment and safety.

The New BMW F 850 GS addresses individual rider requirements by offering ‘Rain’ and ‘Road’ riding modes as standard equipment. With the additional Pro riding modes, the equipment will be extended to ‘Dynamic’, ‘Enduro’ and ‘Enduro Pro’, which respond to the majority of road conditions. The combination of BMW Motorrad ABS and the ASC automatic stability control ensure a high level of safety.

 

Newly developed suspension for increased robustness, with wheel guidance at front and rear for more sensitive response.

The bridge frame of the New BMW F 850 GS is made of deep-drawn, welded components. It integrates the 2-cylinder in-line engine as a supporting element and offers benefits in rigidity and robustness. The fuel tank has been placed in the classic position between the seat bench and the steering head, for optimised packaging and an improved centre of gravity.

For more sensitive response, wheel guidance of the New BMW F 850 GS at the front and rear bring together the requirements of offroad and touring, including riding with a passenger and intensive use. The front wheel is guided by an upside-down telescopic fork, and the rear wheel by a double-sided aluminium swinging arm with a central spring strut. In addition, the New BMW F 850 GS is fitted with aluminium cross-spoke wheels with tubeless tyres, with its 21” front wheel providing more riding stability, making it optimal for the ultimate offroad trip.

Optimised ergonomics for carefree offroad riding enjoyment.

As is typical for offroad bikes, the New BMW F 850 GS features generous spring travel distances and large ground clearance. Nevertheless, it isn’t just tall riders who feel comfortable on them. This is ensured by the optimised inner leg curve length and a refined ergonomic triangle around the handlebars, seat bench and footrests.

Connectivity with multifunctional instrument cluster.

The New BMW F 850 GS is equipped as standard with a completely new instrument cluster design. The new optional equipment known as Connectivity, with which the instrument cluster is displayed on a 6.5 inch full-colour TFT display, delivers fast and even clearer information to the rider with minimum distraction from the road. It gives the rider quick access to vehicle and connectivity functions, and makes telephone calls or listening to music easier through seamless connectivity to smartphones.

Extensive equipment selection to customise your ride.

The range of optional equipment and Original BMW Motorrad accessories available for customising the New F 850 GS is unparalleled in the middle-class segment and has been considerably increased since the previous models.

Optional equipment is supplied directly ex works and is integrated in the production process. Different individualisation packages are available such as the Comfort package, Touring package, Dynamic package, and Lights package, each suited for the long journey, added riding pleasure, sporty adventures, or superior illumination.

For colour accents, the owner of the New BMW F 850 GS may choose from three distinctive styles. The Exclusive style with its Pollux metallic matt colour makes for an elegant eye-catcher, while the Rallye style with its Light white, Racing red and Lupin blue metallic colours gives the bike an even sportier accent. Alternatively, owners may choose the basic Racing red option.

BMW Motorrad Malaysia and Millennium Welt launched a new BMW Motorrad showroom at its existing showroom facility in Kuantan recently, to better serve premium motorcycle customers and enthusiasts in the East Coast Region of Peninsular Malaysia. Millennium Welt was appointed by BMW Group Malaysia as its newest representative for the BMW Motorrad brand in Kuantan and the East Coast Region of Peninsular Malaysia, in July this year.

Mr. Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia (above) said, “The East Coast region presents great growth potential for the BMW Motorrad brand and Millennium Welt is a key partner in the Group’s effort to strengthen its position in the region. With over 800 units of motorcycles already delivered year-to-date, an increase of over 24% compared to the same period last year, we are on track to achieve better performance by the end of the year.”

Last year’s global deliveries across the BMW Motorrad range increased by 13.2%, with a total of 164,153 units delivered worldwide. The growth was reflected in Malaysia, with 1,052 motorcycles delivered, charting a 5% increase in sales performance compared to the previous year.

On the unique appeal of BMW Motorrad to riders in the region, Mr. Owen Riley, Head of BMW Motorrad Malaysia, (above, centre) said, “The East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia offers some of the best terrains and great windy roads that are perfect for motorcycle riding. With a BMW Motorrad motorcycle, it’s never just about getting from one point to another, it’s about Making Life A Ride, seeking that thrill that comes from that unique journey charted by you – and you only.”

Mr. Bryan Wong, Managing Director of Millennium Welt Group of Companies (below, right) said, “With the opening of the new BMW Motorrad showroom, we are committed to improving our delivery of the premium BMW experience to motorcycle enthusiasts in the region. Since our appointment as the brand’s representative in July, we have had the privilege of witnessing and supporting many customers Make Life A Ride, through not only their passion for riding but also their zest for life, which only motivate us to continue serving our customers better.”

BMW Group Malaysia has appointed Millennium Welt as its newest representative for the BMW Motorrad brand in Kuantan and the East Coast Region of Peninsular Malaysia.

Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director and CEO of BMW Group Malaysia (below) said, “We see great potential for growth in the East Coast for premium motorcycles and Millennium Welt has been a valuable partner for us in delivering the promise for BMW premium experience to our customers in Kuantan. We are confident they are the choice dealership to help us further cement our position in the region, now extending the impeccable premium experience to motorcycle enthusiasts in the East Coast as well.”

Owen Riley, Head of BMW Motorrad Malaysia, meanwhile said, “With Millennium Welt Kuantan’s appointment, we look forward to welcoming more riders from the East Coast region to Make Life A Ride. The East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia with its great windy roads down the coast is perfect for motorcycle riding but more importantly, the area delivers over 50 motorcycles annually and has the potential to grow steadily year on year.”

Millennium Welt is no stranger to BMW Group Malaysia with a proven track record as a representative of the brands BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad in Seremban as well as a representative of the BMW brand in Batu Pahat and Kuantan. At the BMW Group Malaysia’s 8th Dealer Awards ceremony held earlier this year, Millennium Welt took home 13 awards, including the BMW Excellence Club Award.

Bryan Wong, Managing Director of Millennium Welt Group of Companies said, “As the official dealership for the BMW brand in Kuantan since 2016, we have built solid credibility with our customers in Pahang and its surrounding areas. Riding on this momentum, we believe the addition of BMW Motorrad to our portfolio of premium vehicles will translate into a higher number of deliveries in the area.”

Millennium Welt Kuantan now offers a wider range of products and services consisting of BMW and BMW Motorrad models, as well as MINI Service.

By consolidating the sales and service of BMW automobiles and BMW Motorrad under one roof, Millennium Welt Kuantan will be able to communicate a more focused brand identity to the market. This also enables BMW to serve its customers more efficiently through a more streamlined channel.

Millennium Welt Kuantan operates from the 28,000 sq ft showroom facility, capable of displaying up to five BMW vehicles and eight BMW Motorrad motorcycles. The showroom is located at 32, Jalan Teluk Sisek, 25000 Kuantan, Pahang.

 

Below are the prices for BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad vehicles with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 0% until further notice from the Ministry of Finance Malaysia.

Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director and CEO of BMW Group Malaysia said, “While we await further announcements and confirmation from the Ministry of Finance Malaysia, we look forward to continue serving our customers seamlessly. Rest assured, BMW Group Malaysia continues to offer the complete Premium Ownership experience (below).”

Millennium Welt and BMW Motorrad Malaysia opened doors to its first-ever BMW Motorrad showroom in Seremban and the State of Negeri Sembilan recently.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Bryan Wong, Managing Director of Millennium Welt said, “We at Millenium Welt have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with BMW and MINI over the years, representing the premium automaker here in Seremban as well as in Batu Pahat and in Kuantan. It was only natural for us to also grow with BMW in their two-wheeled division here in Seremban to offer to premium motorcycle enthusiasts here the opportunity to discover the BMW Motorrad brand.”

Owen Riley, Head of BMW Motorrad Malaysia, meanwhile said, “2017 was another record breaking year for BMW Motorrad in Malaysia. In addition to our successful sales performance, we also added five new premium motorcycles to our portfolio. In 2018, we will continue on this positive growth and it begins with the opening of the New Milennium BMW Motorrad dealership here in the State of Negeri Sembilan.”

Last year, the sales across the BMW Motorrad range increased by 13.2% across the globe last year, with a total of 164,153 units delivered worldwide. In Malaysia alone, 1,052 units of its motorcycles were delivered, charting a 5% increase in sales performance as compared to the previous year.

 

The new showroom can display up to 10 BMW Motorrad motorcycles and is located along Jalan Tun Dr. Ismail in Seremban. The facility is the 11th BMW Motorrad dealership in the country. 

BMW has posted its strongest sales this quarter compared to the same period last year. According to the company, its top premium brands, BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce, saw a combined increase in total sales by 5.3% which amounts to 587,237 vehicles that have been sold globally. Its the first time that the German automaker has cracked half a million sales at such an early period in the year.

“We’ve achieved a strong start to the year, with our X-family models and the BMW 7 Series being the main growth drivers,” commented Dr Ian Robertson, Member of the BMW AG Board of Management with responsibility for Sales and Brand BMW. “March was the first full sales month for the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and the customer feedback for this benchmark car is already very positive,” he continued.

Sales of BMW vehicles alone totaled 503,445 vehicles in the first quarter of 2017 which is a 5.2% increase compared to the same period last year. There were a number of models that contributed to the company’s sales growth. In March, deliveries of the BMW X1 increased 21.0% (26,759), sales of the BMW X5 were up 20.7% (17,678) while deliveries of the flagship BMW 7 Series grew 74.8% (7,134).

BMW’s electric line of vehicles helped bolster sales further as the company shifted 20,000 of these vehicles to customers world wide since early 2017. These sales figures are double of what were reported last year, which is proof of the growing popularity of electric vehicles. BMW i3 sales have been off to a positive start this year and the same can be said about the newly launched plug-in hybrid 530e iPerformance.

MINI branded vehicles also contributed to the overall sales growth by posting a 6.1% increase which is 83,059 vehicles sold since January. Sales of the MINI Clubman alone rose to 21% in the first quarter compared with the same period last year, which means that it is becoming a favorite among car buyers. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars had a good quarter too by posting a 33% increase in sales since January. Despite the economic situation and the volatility of the current vehicle market, there is still a strong demand for Rolls-Royce cars and the company is confident that this sales growth will be sustainable for the near future.

BMW Motorrad, the automaker’s two-wheeler arm, managed a total sales volume of 35,636 vehicles which is a 5.5% increase overall this quarter. Based on what we have seen, 2017 seems to be shaping up to be a good year for a number of automakers. Let’s hope that the surge in sales also brings with it better and improved vehicles in the not so distant future.
