the 7 series of bmw in indonesia

The Indonesian unit of German automaker BMW announced on Wednesday that it had begun assembling models of its 7 Series in Indonesia, in hope to reap the benefits of the government’s plan to scrap import duty for luxury car parts.The company expects that the proposed scheme will reduce production costs and more Indonesians will be able to afford BMW cars.“Assembling the 7 Series in Indonesia instead of importing completely built-up (CBU) units means we could lower the price and deliver the units faster to the market,” BMW Indonesia corporate communications head Jodie O’Tania said on the sidelines of the BMW 730Li's launch on Wednesday.She added that the company could assemble up to six units of the 7 Series a day at its production network in Sunter, North Jakarta.BMW Indonesia has mainly assembled units from its various series at its Sunter facility, such as the 3, 5, X1 and X3 Series.
