Sales of BMW start in Nepal
By Rabindra Dhungel, 25 september 2020. The official of BMW, who has been in Nepal for a long time, has not been made public. However, the company has started selling vehicles from the showroom. Lakshmi Premium has introduced BMW cars in the Nepali market. The company has started selling vehicles without its official brand launch due to the problem of long lockdown.
In the meantime, it is understood that some units of cars have been sold. Cars manufactured at BMW’s German and American plants have entered the Nepali market. Thus, it is natural for many people to be attracted to premium brand luxury cars. Although the company is currently selling 6 models of cars in the Nepali market, we are going to give information about the ‘BMW X5 XDrive 45E Plugin Hybrid’.
