The expo is being held at the Myanmar Event Park and will run until May 15, with 24 different vehicles on show across over 5000 square metres of floor space, according to organisers. In addition to BMW, BMW M and BMW I models, the expo will display the BMW i8 and the all-new BMW 7 series.
BMW i8 is the firm’s first plug-in hybrid sports car, built with carbon fiber, reinforced plastic and powered by a high-voltage battery. But potential buyers may be disappointed to learn BMW will not ship the car to Myanmar.
“This model will not be imported to Myanmar because we lack the machinery to recharge the battery and experts to fix it,” said U Chan Mya, managing director of Prestige Automobiles, the authorised importer of BMW vehicles in Myanmar. The BMW i8 on show will be returned to the production factory overseas after the expo, he added. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
