The situation
After finalizing its historic agreement with Audi (the white club was linked to the Ingolstadt brand for 19 years), Real Madrid has officially announced the new automotive brand that will sponsor the current European champion: BMW. The agreement will not be limited to sponsorship, but rather the club and the car company will jointly develop several projects for the mobility of the future, sustainability and diversity. The agreement was signed this morning at Ciudad Real Madrid in Valdebebas by the white entity’s president, Florentino Pérez, and the executive president of BMW Group Spain and Portugal, Manuel Terroba.

The Bavarian brand will put at your disposal the five 100% electric models (iX, i4, iX3, i7 or iX1) that it has in its catalog.
