In a total of five meetings, the Supervisory Board considered the business and financial position of the BMW Group, its risk analysis and risk management systems, selected topics of strategic interest as well as the composition of the Board of Management. The Board of Management also kept the Supervisory Board informed of current business developments and matters of particular significance, either at scheduled meetings or at other times when the need arose. Decisions concerning changes in the Board of Management stood at the fore- front of the July 2006 Supervisory Board meeting. Dr. Norbert Reithofer, at that stage the Board of Management member respon- sible for Production, was named to succeed Dr. Helmut Panke as Chairman of the Board of Management with effect from 1 September 2006. Joachim Milberg Chairman of the Supervisory Board In his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Management from 2002 to 2006, Dr. Panke was responsible for leading the BMW Group to unprecedented suc- cess and the positive image of the BMW Group was indelibly shaped by his personality. On 31 August 2006, Dr. Panke left the Board of Management after a total of 24 years in the service of the company, including six years of board membership and a further four years as Chairman of the Board of Management. He handed over the helm at a time where the BMW Group is able to present itself in a position of both inward and outward strength. The Supervisory Board would like to take this opportunity to express its great respect for, and apprecia- tion of, this achievement. Also at the Supervisory Board meeting in July 2006, Frank-Peter Arndt, at that stage Head of the Dingolfing Plant, was appointed Board of Management mem- ber with responsibility for Production with effect from 1 September 2006. Prof. Dr. Burkhard Göschel, who had been responsible for Development and Purchasing since 2000, left the Board of Management with effect from 31 Octo- ber 2006. The Supervisory Board would like to thank Prof. Dr. Göschel for his outstanding accomplishments in the service of the BMW Group (since 1978) and as a member of the Board of Management (since 2000). 05 Dr. Klaus Draeger was appointed to succeed Prof. Dr. Göschel as member of the Board of Management with effect from 1 November 2006. Dr. Draeger had previously occupied the post of Head of Department with responsibility for the Group’s large-size model series (the BMW 7, 6 and 5 Series). Deliberations on the future strategic orientation of the BMW Group constituted another key area of activity for the Supervisory Board during 2006. Based on writ- ten and oral reports received from the Board of Management, the Supervisory Board intensively considered the premium strategy, currently being followed by the Board of Management, aimed at sustainable growth and long-term corpo- rate appreciation in value. This strategic orientation is also the subject of a con- tinuing exchange of views between the Chairman of the Supervisory Board on the one side and the Chairman of the Board of Management on the other. The Supervisory Board supports the strategy pursued by the Board of Management, namely continuing the new model product initiative implemented over recent years, remaining committed to the premium car and motorcycle markets and ex- panding the BMW Group’s financial service activities. The two boards also discussed the market opportunities available to the group, especially in Asia, as well as other measures aimed at expanding the BMW Group’s market presence.
