In April 2009 BMW Brilliance announced that it would construct a second automobile assembly plant in China. The first Chinese-made BMW, a BMW 325, was sold in October 2003. BMW and Brilliance agreed to invest an initial €450 million (US$483 million) in the venture. On 27 March 2003 BMW and Brilliance Auto agreed to form a joint venture to produce BMW cars for the Chinese market, with BMW holding a 50 per cent stake, Brilliance Auto 40.5 per cent and the Shenyang municipal government 9.5 per cent. Since early 2014 the Zinoro 1E is available for leasing only in Beijing and Shanghai. The BMW Brilliance Zinoro all-electric crossover, based on the BMW X1 (E84), is the first product of BMW Brilliance’s new brand and the first new energy vehicle (NEV) from a Chinese premium manufacturer. Its principal activity is the production, distribution and sale of BMW passenger cars in mainland China. BMW Brilliance (officially BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd.) is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Shenyang, China and a joint venture between BMW (as majority holder) and Brilliance Auto.
