Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited Announces Amount of Semi-annual Cash Dividend

    HONG KONG, Oct. 6 -- Brilliance China Automotive Holdings
Limited (the "Company") today announced the amount of the
semi-annual cash dividend that was previously announced on September 17, 1999.
The amount of such cash dividend has been adjusted from the previously
announced amount of US$0.027 per share to US$0.0054 per share to reflect the
recent issuance by the Company of four bonus shares for each share held.  This
cash dividend will be paid on November 3, 1999 to holders of record as of the
close of trading on October 15, 1999.
    The Company, incorporated in Bermuda, was established in 1992 to own a
51% interest in Shenyang JinBei Passenger Vehicle Manufacturing Company, Ltd.
("Shenyang Automotive"), a Sino-foreign joint venture enterprise established
in 1991.  Shenyang Automotive, located in Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning
Province and the commercial center of the northeastern region of China, is the
leading manufacturer and distributor of minibuses in the People's Republic of
China.  In May 1998, the Company acquired an indirect interest in two
component suppliers: a 51% equity interest in Ningbo Yuming Machinery
Industrial Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned Chinese enterprise primarily
engaged in the production of automobile window molding and stripping; and a
50% equity interest in Mianyang Xinchen Engine Co., Ltd., a Sino-foreign
equity joint venture manufacturer of gasoline engines for use in passenger
vehicles and light duty trucks.  In October 1998, the Company established Xing
Yuan Dong Automotive Component Co., Ltd. as its wholly owned subsidiary to
centralize and consolidate the sourcing of auto parts and components for
Shenyang Automotive.  The Company was the first with operations solely in
China to list directly on the New York Stock Exchange.
