Abu Dhabi Motors records incredible growth since launching the world's biggest BMW Group showroom

In 2012, the official BMW Group importer in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain delivered 5,358 vehicles - the highest number of vehicles sold in one year in the Middle East, and the first time any BMW Group Middle East importer has delivered more than 5,000 cars in 12 months.

It also achieved record sales growth, with a 21% increase in BMW and MINI sales compared to the previous year. In addition, 11 Abu Dhabi Motors service advisors featured in the Top 20 BMW Service Advisor League table for 2012, of which five were in the top 10.

This year has gotten off to an equally good start with Abu Dhabi Motors' sales for January and February increasing 20% over 2012. Rolls-Royce sales have been equally impressive with a 53% increase.

General Manager of Abu Dhabi Motors, Arno Husselmann, said: "It's been a fantastic first year in our new facility. We have welcomed many existing and new customers who have given us welcome feedback on the unique environment we have created to showcase the BMW Group brands. We are reaching new heights across all areas of our business and we will continue to strive to excel in everything we do in all our fourteen facilities across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.

"I must pay tribute to the 552 professional men and women who work with passion and commitment to meet the high expectations of our valued customers. We are committed to training and developing our people. The business turnover, coupled with the fact that we continue to achieve the top scores in sales and aftersales satisfaction results, indicate that our efforts are leading Abu Dhabi Motors to another successful year, supported by the best-selling premium brands in the world."
