I don't think it will go that far. As opposed to more stock market orientated companies the Quandts still control the company and their no.1 objective is the survival and prosperity of the company, not short term profits to please the Quarter result boys. | |

| Re: BMW considers selling engines to other carmakers I highly doubt they will sell anything else than a 4 cyl.

| Re: BMW considers selling engines to other carmakers BMW considers to sell yes, ok, but can someone tell me who these buyers might be ? All I can think of is small companies and supercarmakers which means ? V10 and small diesel Zonda "2" & (Atom "2")

but when BMW are saying "sell" they mean like just produce 10-20 a year? or a whole factory for another company? You know what I don't think I get it..  From a financial point of view, it looks like BMW will earn money not lose, so I guess it's the best for the company.

Exactly. Quandt familiy who owns almost a half of BMW stakes is interested in company's long-term performance & financial health. That was also a reason Panke had to go: he was too much focused on current profits, and not paying enough attention to future developments. They'll do anything - even some blasphemous moves - to provide a bright future for the company, and protect their long-term ownership in BMW AG. Porsche / Piech family is doing the same thing with Porsche AG (eg. model portfolio expansions; investing in Volkswagen AG etc). | |
