Welcome.

BMW of North America was established in New Jersey more than 45 years ago with a focus on the sales and marketing of BMW cars and motorcycles in the U.S. market. However, we have since grown far beyond that to now include a national footprint of 30 corporate locations in 12 separate states, and a network of more than 600 dealers to support four world-class brands.

Not only is the U.S. one of the BMW Group’s largest sales markets, it is a critical hub of development, innovation, engineering, design, and production supporting the entire global BMW Group network.

With this, we are committed to our continued investment in the U.S., from manufacturing and exports to the jobs and opportunities we create for many Americans. We are proud to call the U.S. our second home.

BMW entered the United States market in the mid-1950s. As the brand’s popularity grew, U.S. drivers became enamored with models like the BMW 2002 and the BMW 3 Series.

In the decades following, BMW established the U.S. as a second home in operations, sales volume and brand impact. Today, BMW Group in the U.S. encompasses multiple brands, nearly 30 corporate locations in a dozen states, the world’s largest BMW production site, innovation and development hubs, and much more.
