BMW Motorcycles of Orlando

Orlando shifted to a new, larger location last month, adding two new product lines and more than doubling its workforce.

The dealership moved from its 3,500-square-foot dealership on South Orange Blossom Trail to the 9,000-square-foot former Fields BMW Service Center on Futures Road, near South John Young Parkway and Sand Lake Road. With the larger space, the dealership added Ducati and Triumph Motorcycles to its offerings and grew from six employees at the former location to 14 at the new store.


BMW Motorcycles moves into space that was previously being used as a temporary showroom by Orlando Mini, which was building a new $3 million, 23,000-square-foot Mini dealership on 3 acres nearby, as previously reported by Orlando Business Journal.

BMW Motorcycles of Orlando, which also owns BMW Motorcycles of Daytona Beach, sells mostly new high-end motorcycles, along with some pre-owned.
