Is your company looking to replace it’s ageing company car fleet? Perhaps you own an SME and you’re looking to purchase some company cars to get around; well, BMW Group Malaysia is starting a solid programme to cater to those looking for just that. The new Corporate Programme includes a special offering for SMEs, company fleet purchases and renewals as well as multinational companies with worldwide corporate agreements with the BMW Group and are available on selected models at all BMW and MINI Authorised Dealers across the country. There’s a lot of information below, so digest it slowly and identify which would apply to you.
Specifically for SMEs, the programme offers a 3% rebate with the minimum purchase of two vehicles and is applicable for SMEs in the manufacturing sector with sales turnover not exceeding RM50 million or full-time employees not exceeding 200 workers as well as SMEs in the services and other sectors with sales turnover of not exceeding RM20 million or full-time employees not exceeding 75 workers. SMEs must be registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM), respective authorities of district offices in Sabah or Sarawak or respective statutory bodies for professional service providers.
Meanwhile, public listed companies on the main board as well as subsidiaries of public-listed companies on the main board, large firms, multinational corporations (MNCs), government-linked companies (GLCs), Syarikat Menteri Kewangan Diperbadankan (MKDs) and state-owned enterprises can enjoy a 4% rebate for every fleet purchase of four to seven units while companies that purchase eight units and more are entitled to a 6% rebate.
The new programme for Malaysian companies also includes new fleet renewal benefits where companies that have purchased four to seven units with the previous agreement can now enjoy a 4% rebate when purchasing an additional one to seven units while companies which have purchased eight or more vehicles will be entitled to a 6% rebate for every vehicle acquired. Aside from the benefits for SMEs and listed companies, a 5% rebate is also offered on selected vehicles purchased under the International Supply Agreement with the BMW Group.

In order to enjoy these privileges, corporate customers need to provide supporting documents that include a To Whom It May Concern letter, business card, latest payslip and marriage certificate for units registered under the spouses’ name. The programme is valid for 24 months from the first unit purchased.
