BMW suspends the production and deliveries of cars to Russia

Due to the current geopolitical situation, BMW is suspending the supply of cars to the Russian market and production at the facilities of the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad. This was reported to the "AUTOSTAT" agency in the press service of BMW, by adding that further decisions will be made based on the development of the situation. Recall that in February 2022, BMW Group and Avtotor signed an agreement on the implementation of a project for the production of BMW cars in a full cycle.

Taking into account these obligations and on the basis of a signed bilateral agreement for production and supply until 2028, it was planned to produce the most demanded BMW models in the Russian market at the new production facilities: X5, X6 and X7 crossovers, as well as the 5 series business sedan. At the end of 2021, Russian BMW dealers sold 46,802 vehicles, which is 10% higher than a year before. As a result, the Bavarian brand becomes the leader of the premium segment in the Russian automotive market for the second year in a row. Last year was a record year for BMW in our country - sales of sports models grew by 18% to 3579 cars.
