Sales Areas 3.1 Showroom Vehicle Display The objective of your center’s Showroom display is to show- case BMW products in a comfortable selling environment to highlight all vehicle attributes. This is so the BMW customer can move around the showroom comfortably without feeling crowded. Electrical outlets for charging units must be located under each vehicle on the showroom floor and used for every vehicle on display. Showrooms without permanent chargers located under the vehicles should be charging these displays overnight. The interior showroom display requirement for 2015 is a minimum of 8-10 units with a minimum of 325 square feet allocated per unit. The minimum dimensions of the 325 sq. ft. vehicle display on the “Driving Gallery” must be laid out mea- suring 13 feet by 25 feet.
