Automag

What Automag does

Automag GmbH is a privately held authorized BMW and MINI car dealership headquartered in Munich, Germany, operating two full-service locations in the Laim and Trudering districts. Founded in 1919 and operating as a BMW franchise dealer since 1967, the company sells new and certified pre-owned BMW and MINI vehicles (BMW Premium Selection with 24-month warranty), arranges leasing and financing through BMW Bank GmbH, and runs a full-service workshop, body shop (Karosseriezentrum), and parts/accessories operation. Its core technology stack is conventional automotive retail infrastructure (online vehicle portal, leasing configurator, 24/7 self check-in terminal) rather than proprietary software; no AI/ML capabilities are evident.

The company serves three primary customer segments: private retail buyers purchasing or leasing BMW/MINI vehicles for personal use, commercial fleet operators (Grosskunden) with 50+ vehicle fleets requiring a minimum of 5 annual purchases, and aftermarket service customers requiring maintenance, repairs, or body work. Business customers also include Handelsvertreter (commercial agents) entitled to fleet pricing under §84 HGB. Revenue is generated across one-time new and used vehicle sales, recurring leasing and financing commissions through BMW Bank, recurring service and maintenance contracts, fleet management commissions via Alphabet, and parts/accessories sales. Marketing is conducted via a corporate website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), an email newsletter (AUTOMAGazin), and in-dealership events.

Go-to-market is sales-led and centered on the two physical dealerships with direct in-person consultation, supported by online lead capture and appointment booking. The company holds no external investment, has no parent company, and operates as an independent franchise dealer. Its commercial proposition rests on authorized manufacturer status, integrated financing and fleet partnerships (BMW Bank, Alphabet, Shell), and full lifecycle vehicle support under one roof rather than any technology or data advantage.
