Regas Premium Sabah Has Been Appointed As The Newest Authorised Dealer In Sabah Replacing FM Autohaus



BMW Group Malaysia has appointed Regas Premium Sabah as its Newest Authorised Dealer Representative for the sate of Sabah. Regas Premium Sabah will be the group's new Dealer Representative for the brands BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad replacing FM Autohaus from the 1st of July 2018 onwards.



Regas Premium Sabah Sdn Bhd is a joint venture company between TM Vision Auto Services Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Tan Brothers Machinery Company (TBMC) group of companies and Regas Premium Auto Sdn Bhd. Currently, Regas Premium Auto is the authorised dealer representative for the brands BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad in the neighbouring state of Sarawak. 

Regas Premium Auto was also appointed as the authorised service dealership for BMW i in 2016 in Sarawak, and last year established the first-ever BMW i public charging facilities in East Malaysa at CityOne Megamall Kuching. So these are already established automotive industry players over in East Malaysia and would be able to service the needs of BMW customers over in Sabah.

As stated in the opening paragraph, Regas Premium Sabah will be taking over FM Autohaus as BMW Group Malaysia’s new dealership in Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah. They will continue to operate from the existing 53,500 sq ft facility located in the prime area along Jalan Penampang. So those that are familiar with BMW in Kota Kinabalu would not have to go searching for a new location. It is still the same premises with a name change basically. The facility will be offering the full suite of Sales, Services, Spare Parts and Systems (4S) for the brands BMW and BMW Motorrad, as well as service facilities for the brands BMW i and MINI.

Mr. Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director and CEO of BMW Group Malaysia said that the State of Sabah currently contributes over 500 vehicles to the premium segment in the country annually and has the potential to double over the next five years. He said, “Last year, we experienced an 18% growth in our deliveries in Sabah in comparison to 2016 which really demonstrates the potential in the state.”

BMW Group Malaysia currently has a network of 20 BMW, 8 MINI, and 9 BMW Motorrad dealerships nationwide. 

Regas Premium Sabah will officially begin servicing the BMW marque in Sabah on 1 st July at Mile 3, Lido, Jalan Penampang, 88300 Penampang.
