BMW Cars - Savings Up to Rs. 9 Lakh
While vehicles above 4,000 mm in length with engines larger than 1,200cc (petrol) or 1,500cc (diesel) now fall under the 40% GST slab, this is still lower than the earlier 50% levy (28% GST + 22% cess). The outcome is lower ex-showroom prices across BMW's range, with flagship SUVs seeing the steepest cuts. BMW's SUV portfolio has gained significant reductions, particularly in larger models that carried the heaviest tax burden earlier.
