BMW to increase testing on British roads (UK)


The UK purchases more M-Sport models
than any other country worldwide

BMW will be testing more of its future models on UK roads ahead of new car launches.

It is now going to put more work on UK testing earlier in a new models development programme.

'We have always recognised that UK roads have a unique surface, and especially, unusual cambers,' said a BMW spokesman. 'Now our engineers will spend more time in the UK to account for that.'

The UK is an important market for BMW, being only second to Germany in Europe. In the UK, the 3 Series accounts for 50% of total BMW sales with the M-Sport variants being popular.
