BMW Group Malaysia sold “over 10,800” vehicles in 2025 across its BMW, MINI, and BMW Motorrad brands. Of those, 55% were assembled right here in Malaysia – a statement figure which the company says demonstrates its “continued confidence and commitment to the Malaysian market.”
The total comprises over 7,700 deliveries from BMW, 1,500 from MINI, and 1,600 units from BMW Motorrad. Despite the 8.7% year-on-year growth by MINI Malaysia, though, overall deliveries fell by 20% compared to the year before, punctuated by the nearly 27% reduction from the BMW brand.
BMW’s sales numbers in 2025 were led by the 3 Series with over 1,300 units delivered last year. The new BMW 320i Sport was particularly popular, with close to 300 units delivered within its first six months of introduction. This was followed by the BMW 5 Series at over 1,240 units, and the X1 with over 1,200 units delivered.
For MINI, the Countryman was again the brand’s top performer with over 900 units delivered. This was followed by the MINI Aceman with 330 units delivered across both standard and JCW variants, while the standard MINI Cooper in all of its variants saw over 250 units sold.
Electric vehicles (EVs) also made a significant gain for the company last year, with 25.2% of all deliveries being fully electric models, up from 20.6% in 2024. MINI’s contribution was particularly notable, with over 700 EVs delivered last year, accounting for 46.4% of MINIs sold last year.

In spite of the overall sales figure downturn, BMW Group Malaysia says that its performance in 2025 still places it at the top of the “premium” segment here locally. More importantly, its commitment to local assembly has also further reinforced Malaysia’s position as a strategic hub for the BMW Group in the Asia Pacific region, the company says.
“From building the first fully-electric BMW in Asia Pacific right here in Malaysia, to deepening our partnerships with local institutions to develop the next generation of talent, our commitment is demonstrated through what we build, whom we employ, and how we strengthen Malaysia’s leadership in premium mobility. This is backed by over 50 years of proven experience and our vision for Malaysia’s mobility future,” said BMW Group Malaysia Managing Director, Benjamin Nagel.
The first locally assembled fully electric BMW in Asia Pacific is in reference to the new 2026 BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport, which was reintroduced as a CKD model today.
BMW Group Malaysia is the largest exporter of vehicles from Malaysia to the Asia Pacific region, with the company having exported over 11,800 vehicles to date to the Philippines and Thailand.
The company has committed to further investing into the local automotive industry, and has begun construction of a new “state-of-the-art” Vehicle Distribution Centre in Selangor, in partnership with Neptune Reliance. The facility is expected to begin operations in January 2027, and will feature a built-up area of over 48,000 square metres. It will be equipped with mechanical hydraulic parking bays and EV charging bays, capable of accommodating over 3,000 vehicles.

Beyond vehicles, BMW Group Malaysia is also further investing into the development of local talent through partnerships with local institutions. These include the BMW NextGT programme with the Selangor Technical Skills Development Centre, which aims to foster the next-generation of automotive technicians, with a particular focus on electrification.
In support of the growing number of electrified BMW Group vehicles on Malaysian roads, the company is also continuing to expand its charging infrastructure, with over 2,000 facilities now available to its customers through strategic partnerships with charge point operators (CPO) including Gentari, ChargEV, Yinson Greentech, and JomCharge.
To date, over 100 BMW i and MINI charging facilities are available at authorised dealerships and partnering venues across the country, with further expansion planned for 2026 and beyond.
Additionally, the company has also partnered with Universiti Malaya to deploy “second-life use” EV batteries in rural areas for community electrification, supporting Malaysia’s broader sustainability goals. The project has already been implemented in Sarawak.
