KUALA LUMPUR: BMW Malaysia has expanded its used-car scheme called "BMW Premium Selection" to its dealer Ingress Auto.

BMW Malaysia managing director Geoffrey Briscoe said yesterday it had always been the company's plan to expand the programme within its dealership network.

"Following rapid sales growth despite only opened last year, Ingress Auto has become the next dealership to offer this programme," he said.

The first BMW Premium Selection used-car scheme was launched at Auto Bavaria Glenmarie in December 2008. The programme was designed to provide buyers of pre-used BMW cars the reassurance of a manufacturer-backed warranty and the same confidence as purchasing a new vehicle.

Vehicles sold under the Premium Selection programme must have an approved and documented vehicle history as part of the criteria, pass a strict 72-point check by factory-trained BMW experts, are technically and visually refurbished, and have less than five years or less than 100,000 km mileage.

Further premium services such as a 12-month warranty, roadside assistance and individual financing via BMW Credit are included in the programme.

Ingress Auto's new BMW Premium Selection showroom will be located at its current five-storey building at Jalan Damansara that can display up to 25 cars at one time.
