BMW has long reigned in the country’s imported car market and is now gearing up to consolidate its status with four new models scheduled to be out starting September.
“Carmakers tend to upgrade their models on a regular basis, but this year is even more exciting with some of the best models being revamped or undergoing a full change,” a publicist for BMW Korea said.
