BMW Group CEO in Korea with a 420d


Selling imported brands in Korea is a challenge. They face sizable duties to protect the local market. However, while higher priced marques have felt it less, most brands are enjoying increasing sales. Imports now exceed 10% of total passenger car sales. A 20% increase in import sales in 2013 was good, following a pattern of improving market penetration.
