What Asian Carmakers Corporation does

Asian Carmakers Corporation, doing business as BMW Asian Carmakers Corporation, is the authorized importer, distributor, and service provider of BMW automobiles and BMW Motorrad motorcycles in the Philippines. Appointed by BMW Group AG in 2017, the company operates through a network of five full-service BMW automobile dealerships and five BMW Motorrad dealerships nationwide — described as the widest dealership network in the Philippine luxury vehicle segment. Corporate leadership is anchored by Spencer Yu, President of SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp, the appointed distributor entity. The firm is a wholly-owned Filipino subsidiary of San Miguel Corporation, one of the Philippines' largest and most diversified conglomerates, chaired by Ramon S. Ang.

The company's product portfolio spans BMW's luxury automobile range — from sedans to SUVs — alongside the premium BMW Motorrad motorcycle lineup. Underlying technology is sourced entirely from BMW Group AG, with regional oversight and support provided by BMW Asia Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. Distribution is conducted exclusively through authorized full-service dealers, offering sales, financing coordination, parts, and after-sales service; digital channels (bmw.com.ph, Facebook, Instagram) supplement top-of-funnel marketing. Pricing is set per vehicle through dealerships and is not publicly disclosed.

The business model is hardware sales: revenue is generated by importing and reselling BMW vehicles and motorcycles through authorized dealership channels, complemented by aftersales service and parts. Customers are primarily high-net-worth individuals and enterprises seeking premium automobiles in the Philippine market, plus premium motorcycle enthusiasts. The firm is a member of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI), and operates from corporate headquarters in Makati City.
