BMW and Mini have signed a five-year deal to have Mercedes-Benz USA prepare their vehicles coming in for delivery through the port of Baltimore, the Automotive News reported.
The two brands will use the Mercedes-Benz vehicle preparation center to inspect, process and repair all predelivered vehicles beginning March 1, the trade paper said. Both brands say the agreement makes economic sense, the Automotive News said.
Jim O’Donnell, president of BMW of North America, told Automotive News on Friday that the deal will save BMW time and money. He anticipates about 50,000 cars destined for the central region (which includes Chicago), will be prepared by Mercedes-Benz. He would not disclose financial details, the story said.
