Pricing is one of the biggest concerns when it comes to buying cars. It was the most critical thing to consider especially in the entry-level segment. The same remains true even in the more expensive and upmarket segment like luxury cars. For the same amount of money, the customers can comfortably afford attractive and well-equipped models from the regular car brand, however, some car buyers are willing to scratch their budget to purchase entry-level cars from luxury car brand. The reason is simple. The comfort and the pride that these luxury car brand can bring is the compelling force that urges people to seek after pricey cars. BMW is one of those desirable car brands.
The German luxury car brand is currently offering a total of 14 modes in our market with the price ranging from around Rs 35 lakh to over 1.5 crore mark. The most inexpensive car of BMW is the X1 which is priced from Rs Rs 35.9 lakh to Rs 42.9 Lakh (ex-showroom). Some of BMW lowest price cars in India are the 3 Series, X3 and 5 Series.
