In a welcome move for luxury car enthusiasts and potential buyers, Dewan Motors, the official distributor of BMW vehicles in Pakistan, has significantly reduced prices across its entire lineup. The price cuts are a direct response to the lower customs duties and reduced federal taxes introduced in the Federal Budget for FY 2025-26.
This decision impacts both petrol-powered and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), making several high-performance models from BMW far more affordable in the Pakistani market.
Why the Price Cut? Budget 2025-26 Brings Relief
The federal government’s budget for fiscal year 2025-26 brought notable policy shifts aimed at boosting the automotive sector. Among these were reductions in import duties and regulatory taxes on Completely Built Units (CBUs), particularly those that meet certain efficiency or environmental standards.

Luxury car makers, especially those offering hybrid and electric variants, stand to benefit the most from these changes — and Dewan Motors has been quick to pass those benefits on to the consumer.
A company spokesperson confirmed that the price reductions are effective immediately and will apply at all authorized BMW dealerships across the country.
Biggest Price Drop: X7 M60i Sees Nearly PKR 48 Million Reduction
Among the most eye-catching reductions is the BMW X7 M60i xDrive, a high-end luxury SUV known for its power and performance. The price of this model has dropped by an astounding PKR 47.9 million, bringing it within closer reach of ultra-premium buyers.
Other models have also seen substantial adjustments:
- BMW 218i Gran Coupe: Reduced by around PKR 4.5 million, now offering a more accessible entry point into the BMW experience.
- BMW 3 Series and 5 Series models: Mid-tier sedans have also seen notable drops, particularly in their PHEV variants.
- BMW X5 xDrive45e PHEV: A popular plug-in hybrid SUV, now priced more competitively in the Pakistani market.
While the complete revised price list has not been published publicly yet, initial reports suggest that most models now come with double-digit percentage reductions from their previous retail prices.
Implications for the Luxury Auto Market in Pakistan
This move by Dewan Motors could have a ripple effect across Pakistan’s premium auto market. BMW’s primary competitors in the luxury segment, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volvo, may now face increased pressure to offer similar pricing adjustments or value-add incentives to stay competitive.
Analysts note that this kind of proactive price restructuring not only helps revitalize luxury car sales, which have slowed due to economic uncertainty and high import duties, but also sets a positive precedent for market responsiveness.
Consumer Demand and Economic Outlook
With the government’s renewed focus on automotive market expansion, especially in the electric and hybrid segment, buyers may be more inclined to invest in higher-end vehicles. These updated prices may lead to a surge in bookings over the coming months, particularly in urban centers like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, where BMW has a strong presence.
Additionally, the favorable exchange rate environment and reduced fuel consumption in PHEVs could make these cars even more attractive to Pakistani consumers seeking long-term savings and better performance.
Official Statement from Dewan Motors
In a press release, Dewan Motors stated:
“We are pleased to announce a significant realignment of our pricing structure to reflect the federal government’s revised taxation policy. This change allows us to make the BMW experience more accessible to our valued customers in Pakistan. The new prices are effective immediately at all our authorized dealerships.”
The company also reaffirmed its commitment to providing world-class aftersales service, financing options, and genuine BMW parts and accessories.
Conclusion: A Win for Car Buyers and the Market
This sweeping price reduction marks a major shift in Pakistan’s luxury vehicle market. For years, heavy import duties and taxes made high-end automobiles a niche option for only the wealthiest buyers. With this price correction, more consumers may now consider entering the premium vehicle space.
If other automakers follow suit, 2025 could see a revival in high-end car sales, especially in the hybrid and electric segments, aligning with the government’s broader goals for economic growth and environmental sustainability.
