BMW Motorrad is planning to launch the C 400 GT maxi-scooter in the Indian market. The brand in the recent past released a teaser on its official social media channel. This teaser showcased the maxi-scooter’s silhouette with the Gateway of India in the background. Now the brand has posted a walkaround teaser of the BMW C 400 GT in the Style Triple Black colour option. This teaser is currently available for viewing on BMW Motorrad India’s official social media channels. This leads us to believe that the launch is now imminent. BMW could leverage the current festive season for the launch of the maxi-scooter. The German manufacturer may bring the C 400 GT via the CBU (Completely Built-Up Unit) route and may sell it in limited numbers. Rather than becoming a practical scooter, the C 400 GT is likely to become a collectable item in India. In the UK, the scooter comes with a hefty price tag of GBP 6,995, which translates to around INR 7 lakh.
