This year’s South Korean Auto Show has only one foreign automaker: the BMW Group. The suspended event, alternating the Seoul Mobility Show, now returns in 2022 with some local premieres. BMW’s 7 Series G70, an all-electric i7 xDrive60 model, is the most important of these.
In addition, there were only some guests at the launching of the second generation of BMW South Korea’s 2 Series Active Tourer minivan. At the same time, they also unveiled the 650bhp XM behind closed doors to an even smaller group. The M850i Gran Coupé, M240i xDrive, M4 Cabrio xDrive and X3 M Competition were all crucial additions to the BMW model range for 2015.
A special JCW Anniversary Edition and an electric Pacesetter from MINI will be on display at this year’s Busan Motor Show.BMW will also reveal the BMW Motorrad’s first M motorbike in its 50th-anniversary livery. In addition to the high-performance motorbike, the sleek electric scooter CE 04 and a luxurious Grand Tourer R 18 Transcontinental will also be on display in South Korea.
At the Busan Exhibition and Convention Centre (BEXO) in Centum City, Haeundae-gu, the BMW Group will exhibit a total of 21 products until the end of the event on 24 July. Locals do not consider the BMW i7 as the most popular at the show, rather the Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric sedan. Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury subsidiary, will also introduce the GV60, GV70 and GV80 SUVs at the show. The first major international car show scheduled for mid-October is the Paris Motor Show after it was repeatedly cancelled. Whether BMW will come up with new sheet metal in Paris, we will have to wait and see!
