The C 400 GT will be BMW Motorrad's first maxi-scooter in India, and will be positioned as a premium maxi-scooter, powered by a 349 cc single-cylinder engine. The BMW C 400 GT will be the first true maxi-scooter in the Indian market, and is expected to be priced at a premium, when BMW Motorrad does announce its launch.

There is an updated engine management system as well. Plus, the exhaust system has been re-done and there's a new catalytic converter along with a new oxygen sensor and a modified cylinder head which help make the scooter conform to Euro V emission norms. Once launched, we expect the BMW C 400 GT to be a premium offering, to be priced upwards of Rs. 6 lakh (ex-showroom).
