BMW Classic Customer Workshop Center Now Open

The specialists at the BMW Classic workshop now have more responsibilities on their hands, as they will also be repairing and restoring vehicles belonging to customers. Just like owners of new vehicles, these customers can also benefit of BMW expertise.

“The workshop is an essential component of the reorientation of BMW Classic and of our customer focus on the classic market,” Karl Baumer, Director of BMW Group Classic, said in a release.

A number of classics had already been entrusted to the team at the Classic Center before the actual launch of the new service. According to the manufacturer, the Classic Center workshop now features a a BMW 3.0 CSi and BMW R 69 S, next to two BMW M1s.

“The great advantage for customers who bring their vehicle back to the original manufacturer is the complete range of services available under one roof. We have the theoretical knowledge of the vehicles, the technical know-how, the original BMW parts and the necessary infrastructure to connect everything up systematically,” said Ralf Vierlein, Head of Sales and Aftersales for BMW Group Classic.

According to the manufacturer, there are at least 200,000 owners of BMW vehicles from earlier decades, and with every year that passes, the number of classic BMWs increases significantly. In order to cope with the rising demand, the BMW Group Classic looks to further expand its activities.

“We’ve had enquiries from Romania, Spain and even from a collector in Brazil, who is interested in a restoration. We are now looking for partners abroad with whom we can work in future,” said Thomas Tischler, Service Team Manager at BMW Classic and responsible for the project.
