BMW said today that it will celebrate more than 20 Swiss BMW, BMW Motorrad and MINI retailers as BMW Group Classic partners. This notes the certification of new BMW Group Classic partners, with a “large-scale event – with iconic vehicles from BMW history and some of the company’s latest new products.” This occurs at the BMW Group Brand Experience Center in Dielsdorf on 10 August 2024.
“This day-long event, with its richly varied program, will give visitors the chance to meet BMW Group Classic and its local partners and explore what they have to offer,” BMW said in a release. “Customers looking for a BMW Group Classic partner to maintain, repair, restore or look after their historic vehicles can take advantage of the range of services traditionally available in Munich, but now also provided by specialists locally.”
The process of certifying BMW Group authorized retailers and workshops as BMW Group Classic partners began in 2019. There are now 148 international partners. Support provided by BMW Group Classic headquarters in Munich for the local partners covers its full range of services, from assistance with technical issues, help with procurement of replacement parts, as well as re-manufacturing of specialist tools to provision of specific data/information from the BMW Group Archive and elsewhere.
