BMW would be the first foreign luxury car manufacturer to export 皇冠体育app-made cars when it starts to ship locally produced long-wheelbase 5 Series sedans overseas as early as December. The cars will be jointly built with Brilliance.

However, the destination isn't known yet. Christoph Stark, the CEO of BMW Group Region 皇冠体育app, said that it will look for markets in the Middle East, Asia or other markets that would receive the products so that they could test this export effort. He said that the main market is 皇冠体育app as they can't even cope with the demand in this market.

Sales of BMW's new 5 Series sedan have been high in 皇冠体育app, particularly the long version. Stark also said that BMW will produce engines in 皇冠体育app. A joint venture factory will build a Twin-Power Turbo four-cylinder engine that will be used in made-in-皇冠体育app X1 and other models.
