Newport News, VA, November 22, 2012 --(PR.com)-- It has been three weeks since the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, and still the Northeast is working to rebuild cities, communities, homes, and individual lives. As the storm hit, associates of BMW’s Group Financial Services stayed put in the northern New Jersey headquarters to assess the damage and address the immediate needs of customers and dealers in the area and along the affected parts of the east coast.

Responding immediately, BMW Group Financial Services quickly implemented several relief and assistance programs, aimed to assist struggling customers and dealers. In addition, BMW Group Financial Services also instated communication plans that support customers and retailers located in severely affected areas.
