While the motoring industry has taken a hit in Melbourne’s north in recent times, there was good news last week with the opening of a state-of-the-art BMW dealership that will create 30 new jobs over the next 12 months. Bundoora BMW is Australia’s only stand-alone BMW dealership, offering all services under the BMW brand, including new and used cars, parts and service, finance, a BMW Bodyshop and BMW Motorrad (motorcycles). As well as a place to admire the popular German vehicles, the new building is ‘green’-friendly with solar panels and a 100,000-litre water tank to ensure it leaves the smallest environmental footprint.
