Our History.
BMW Canada Inc. was formed in January 1986 to support BMW customers better, bringing services closer to many local enthusiasts through a stronger presence and structured organization. BMW Canada Inc. took over business activities of two importers, BMW Distributors Western Company in Vancouver, B.C. and BMW Distributors Eastern Canada Ltd., Whitby, Ontario.
In 1992, BMW divided Canada organizationally into three regions, Montreal, Que., Vancouver, B.C., with Ontario being served from Whitby. This corresponded to the main concentrations of population to support the retailer organization better in providing high levels of sales and aftersales performance.
To support its overall efforts of continued service improvement and anticipating the changing need of customers, BMW Canada established BMW Financial Services, offering first leasing products in 1994, followed by retail financing in 1995. Further growth created an expansion of the parts distribution business and resulted in opening facilities in Richmond, B.C. and Whitby, Ontario.
At the beginning of 2010 the headquarters moved to a brand new state of the art LEED certified building in Richmond Hill, Ontario. This premium facility is established as a green and eco-friendly structure.
BMW Group Canada has had many years of success and consecutive growth since it's inception in 1986. Our network consists of retail centres across the country which support the sales of BMW automobiles, BMW motorcycles and MINI.
To ensure we continue to inspire the passion we need to secure the long-term success BMW Group is committed to our Strategy Number ONE. We will ensure that the BMW Group is the leading provider of premium products and premium services relating to individual mobility.
