"In our anniversary year, we are facing new exciting challenges together, which will be marked in particular by new products and the development of performance and high-performance models with electrified drive systems."

Dr Markus Schramm, Senior Vice President BMW Motorrad: "I would like to thank Timo Resch for his extraordinary commitment, which has helped us in achieving numerous successes and records over the past four years together with our business partners and the entire BMW Motorrad team. Under his leadership, 2017, 2018 and 2019 each year ended as the most successful financial year in the brand's history. In addition, he manoeuvred the sales division through the difficult Corona times with very great success. In 2021, BMW Motorrad is also heading for another sales record."

Dr. Alexander W. Wehr will take over as Vice President Customer, Brand, Sales of BMW Motorrad on 1 January 2022. He started out at the BMW Group in 1997 as the Product Manager of the BMW Z8. This was followed by various management positions within the BMW Group, among others as the Head of Worldwide Volume Planning and Sales Steering of the automotive segment. Most recently, he was President & CEO of BMW Group Latin America, leading the BMW subsidiaries in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, as well as 24 importers markets in the region.

“I thank Alexander for his remarkable commitment to Latin America which has been proven with the solid business regionalization process. It consisted of establishing a regional structure operated from Mexico which assured the strengthening of our business operation in these markets as well as the relationship with our dealers and importers network. Regionalization accounted for an essential foundation for building the remarkable leadership of the BMW Group in the region and the outstanding segment share development in the region”, says Sebastian Mackensen, Head of BMW Group Region Americas and President & CEO for BMW of North America.

Dr. Markus Schramm, Senior Vice President BMW Motorrad: "We are very pleased to have won Alexander Wehr, an experienced colleague and motorcycle enthusiast, for the position of Vice President Customer, Brand, Sales BMW Motorrad.
