During his talk, and the subsequent Q&A session, Jung touched on several more BMW and Mini developments. Here are a few…

  • Revised service and maintenance packages for BMW, and first-time service and maintenance packages for Mini.
  • The "M" performance line of BMW vehicles, parts, and accessories has resonated well with Canadians (more so than Americans), and to further the relationship, BMW will throw on more "M" mojo, by training and investing and certifying M-specific dealerships in Canada.
  • No decision has been made yet, on whether BMW’s futuristic Megacity EV makes it to Canada. Meanwhile, BMW Canada has received one Mini E for testing and evaluation purposes. The other 500 or so Mini E models are in test phases in the U.S. and Europe.
  • New 5 Series is essentially sold out for the remainder of the year. 5 Series set to receive diesel and hybrid powertrains.
  • Every new BMW that makes it to Canada, must be available with AWD. BMW’s traditional focus on RWD performance will shift to AWD performance.
