Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

[Centurion]

I'm highly sceptical of BMW pursuing a body-on-frame strategy - I just can't picture the ROI.

If demand for the 7series or 8 series isn’t what it was 10 years ago, then bmw need alternative cars for high value customers. Unit sales won’t rival an X1. However high value customers sometimes own multiple cars from the same brand and change frequently.

One out of two million: A BMW i5 M60 xDrive sedan in Tansanit Blue assembled at Plant Dingolfing is the two-millionth all-electric vehicle produced by the BMW Group. The anniversary vehicle is going to a customer in Spain.

Series production of the BMW i3 begins in August, followed by the market launch in Europe a few weeks later.

Several additional NEUE KLASSE models will soon be manufactured in Munich, including the BMW i3 Touring.

This summer, we will also unveil the next generation of our BMW X5. It will be the first BMW model to be offered with five different drivetrain variants: highly efficient conventional powertrains, plug-in hybrid, battery-electric and – from 2028 – also hydrogen.

BMW still made 2 billion more profit lol
If it stays like this MB will reach parity in 20 years.

BMW's BEV sales decreased by 27%.

And that I guess is because the U.S has dropped out? Or is it too soon for those numbers?

That’s why you can get big discounts on some BMW models, MB is in this regard really tight ( apart from the EQS and SL).

Ynguldyn's update on the B57-powered 20d, replacing the current B47:

-It appears the first example of an EU7 compliant B57 in a 20d model will be G45. It will be detuned all the way to 205 hp - which is still a bit of a bump compared to B47.
