The expansion of this newly launched showroom will provide convenience and access to the finest BMW automotive products and world-class services to customers in Thailand.
“Apart from the impressive M Showroom, another highlight of Performance Motors Ratchapruek is its holistic design, which was carefully crafted to bring more comfort and an atmosphere that resembles a cosy living room, while professionally responding to ever-changing customer needs through a digitalised experience.
“We are ready to welcome BMW customers with our over-and-above standard BMW dealership, product experts for all BMW models including the BMW i series, experienced after-sales service, and BMW Premium Selection to the Performance Motors Ratchapruek showroom.”
Performance Motors Ratchapruek is built under the ‘Retail Next’ concept, originating from BMW Germany. The showroom offers a relaxed atmosphere – as if one is sitting on a couch in a living room, admiring the refreshing houseplants – a perfect setting as a co-working space with beverages, lunch, and snacks to welcome customers. The customer-oriented design, brought in to create a unique and personalised experience, is yet another highlight. While the vehicles are smartly displayed and customers can easily interact with them, the car delivery area is arranged to provide more privacy, with sofa sets and television to cater for the special day. In addition, the private sales advisor cubicles are also available to provide privacy, elevating the seamless ‘phygital’.
The Performance Motors Ratchapruek showroom and service workshop spans an area of five rai (8,000 m2), of which, the main building is located on 5,300 m2 of land. The service workshop consists of 12 mechanical work bays that can service up to 36 vehicles per day, while a BMW Certified Body and Paint Centre can handle up to 80-100 cars per month. The showroom can accommodate a total of ten vehicles on display, including two M vehicle display areas. Over 50 staff are now ready to welcome customers in the first year of service and this will gradually increase to a total of 75 staff in the final phase of the project expansion.
