The BMW company commented on the latest advertising, saying that the publication of an advertising poster with the new BMW 3-Series against the backdrop of the Moscow City business center is not a hint at the resumption of the brand’s activities in Russia.
“The German government has imposed sanctions against Russia, which we support. Due to the geopolitical situation, we were forced to stop our local production of cars and the supply of new models to the Russian market,” the press service of the German company told an Autonews.ru correspondent in response to a corresponding request.
Earlier, the Japanese division of BMW published on social networks a new advertisement for two BMW 3 Series models – 318i and 320d X-Drive with Moscow City in the background. Cars in a special Shadow Edition modification are parked against the backdrop of the Empire, Evolution and City of Capitals towers in Moscow.
After the cessation of sales, the company decided to disable a number of branded mobile applications for Russian customers in 2023.
