Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Florian Kuenstner, Vice President MINI for the Region Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa, Kirsten Eckrodt, Regional Area Manager MINI, and Alexander Brockhoff, GM for MINI ANZ at BMW Group New Zealand. During their time in New Zealand, we provided Florian and Kirsten with insights into the New Zealand market and engaged in constructive discussions about the MINI business. They also had the opportunity to visit MINI dealerships in Auckland and Hamilton, strengthening the brand’s connection with its dealer partners. One of the highlights of the visit was Florian’s presentation at our All Associate Meeting, during which he shared his deep knowledge and passion for the MINI brand, and offered a comprehensive overview of MINI’s strong and growing presence in our region and globally. With the new generation of MINI products just arriving in New Zealand, it was inspiring to hear firsthand how MINI is navigating new challenges and seizing opportunities, all while remaining true to its iconic heritage. The session left our team energised about the direction MINI is headed, and further underscored the team’s commitment to the continued success of the MINI brand. #BMWGroupNZ

Celebrating a new chapter in the story of the legendary BMW Art Cars. Designed by renowned artist Julie Mehretu, the 20th Art Car transforms the BMW M Hybrid V8 racecar into a dynamic work of art, carrying on the tradition of BMW Art Cars and competitive racing. After its unveiling in Paris, this latest addition to the BMW Art Car collection will take part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 15-16 June. “The BMW Art Car project embodies invention, imagination, and pushing the boundaries of possibility. This car isn't just for display; it's meant to race in Le Mans. It's a performative painting, created in collaboration with motorsport and engineering teams,” explains Julie Mehretu. “The BMW Art Car isn't finished until the race is over.” The collaboration between BMW and Julie Mehretu extends beyond the Art Car, with a joint commitment to a series of PanAfrican Translocal Media Workshops for filmmakers, touring African cities in 2025 and 2026, culminating in a major exhibition at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town. The BMW Art Car is an integral part of the company’s global cultural commitment. For nearly five decades, BMW has partnered with artists who share the brand’s passion for mobility, design, technology, and motorsports. Julie Mehretu's vision for a racing car adds a powerful chapter to the BMW Art Cars series. #BMWNZ #BMWArtCar #BMWGroupCulture
