BMW to hike prices starting 1st January 2019

The increase in price will be up to 4 per cent across its product portfolio

In an official statement, BMW has announced a rise in the prices of their products starting 1^st January, 2019. All BMW products will demand up to 4 per cent more than the current price from the said date. There has been no such announcement about BMW Motorrad though.
