I trust that the potential of Millennium Auto, with more than ten showrooms and service centres across the country, will give the customers confidence in our sales and service excellence and grow harmoniously towards a successful future.

This is called the 'Retail Next' concept, which has been integrated in the building’s design for the first time in Southeast Asia, fusing modernity with digitalisation. I strongly believe that Millennium Auto Pattanakarn-Srinakarin will create strategic synergy within our BMW dealer network, as well as giving a strong boost to customer satisfaction in the Pattanakarn and Srinakarin districts.”
