BMW India that recently raised the localization levels to 50 percent has now announced the price drop of all made in India cars. BMW Chennai facility which was started in 2007 produces around eight models like BMW 1 series, 3 series, 3 series, 3 Gran Turismo, 5 series, 7 series, X1, X3 and X5.

The foremost reason behind car maker’s extensive localization level is that the BMW now started equipping auto components such as transmission, engine, axles, door panels, wiring harness, heating, air conditioning, ventilating and even seats from the local suppliers. The high local content not only brings down the manufacturing cost but also benefits the customers in the form of low priced cars.
