  • 030624 History of BMW 5 Series.Txt
    IMMEDIATE David J. Buchko BMW Product Communications Manager 201-307-3789 / [email protected] Gordon B. Keil BMW Product Communications Specialist 201-307-3790 / [email protected] THE HISTORY OF THE BMW 5 SERIES The concept originated in the late fifties; its success continues today. At the time, BMW made the decision to develop an automobile which had not existed in Germany yet: a stylish, mid-sized four -door car with a sporty chassis and a powerful engine and was comfortable enough for five passengers and agile enough for fast motoring. The marketing strategists gave it the name “The New Class” and in 1961, the BMW 1500 was born. The design of the New Class was neither conservative nor was it influenced by the American style. Instead, it was more reminiscent of Italian lines – after all Giovanni Michelotti had been involved in the design. The overhead cam inline 4-cylinder engine was the first German touring sports engine. With a maximum output of 80 horsepower at 5700 rpm, the BMW 1500 approached a top speed of 93 miles per hour. The suspension of the new BMW attracted particular attention. The wheel location of the front wheels was provided by a transverse link, supported by a tension strut and a McPherson strut. The rear wheel suspension was particularly sophisticated, controlled by a rubber-mounted semi -trailing arm bolted to the differential. The driving response remained neutral in virtually all conditions; the suspension was tight but not uncomfortable. The interior provided safety features such as padded upper and lower edges on the instrument panel and a padded steering wheel hub.

  • A Company Analysis
    A Company Analysis Department of Business Administration Autumn 2006 Authors: Hiba Larsson and Christian Falkemark Thesis Adviser: Thomas Polesie Master Thesis, 10 points Abstract Master Thesis in Business Administration School of Economics and Commercial Law Gothenburg University Autumn 2006 Authors: Hiba Larsson and Christian Falkemark Thesis Adviser: Thomas Polesie Title: BMW – A Company Analysis Thesis Language: English Background: The automotive industry is distinguished by a highly competitive market. Thus, the actors on the market struggle with increasing cost of production, development and mature markets. With the aim to increase profit margins and reduce costs, Volkswagen, GM and Ford are some companies, which use the same components in different car models and car brands. These companies have in other words succeeded in synergising research and development effects within the company despite car model and business area. By a contrast, BMW, an individual actor, has yearly shown strong financial results and has retained its market shares. This becomes of interest to study more profoundly, in order to find the factors behind a successful company and a strong brand. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the development of BMW during the past five years. Not only are the financial statements taken into consideration. In addition, a comparison to competitors and the market situation is also made. Delimitation and assumptions: This thesis is delimited to an analysis of BMW between the years 2001-2005. The thesis is based on the assumption that BMW is the most successful automotive manufacturer in the premium segment. Methodology: In the study of BMW both primary and secondary data are used.

  • BMW Group Classic Comes Fully on Stream
    Corporate Communications Press Release 7 July 2016 Back to its roots: New location of BMW Group Classic comes fully on stream. Archive, workshop, customer centre and parts service for classic vehicles have now come together at one location with a historic heritage. Munich. BMW Group Classic has completed the move to its new headquarters located on a historic site. The company archive and the vehicle collection, the workshop and the customer centre together with the parts service for classic automobiles and motorcycles are now located together in an ensemble of buildings in the district of Milbertshofen in Munich. This situates the history of the BMW Group in a new home during the centenary year of the company and at the same time roots it in its historic location. The site at Moosacher Straße 66 measuring around 13,000 square metres includes one of the first production buildings of what was at that time still a fledgling company. It was preserved during the restoration work, as was the heritage gatehouse, which is today a listed building, and now forms the entrance to the history of the BMW Group. “Now we have everything under one roof and this provides us with the ideal conditions for maintaining our historic heritage,” commented Ulrich Knieps, Head of BMW Group Classic. “We have already been able to manage the first major events like the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the Mille Miglia and the Festival of Speed from our new site. And the event venue has already proved its worth, for example at the press conference to celebrate 100 years of existence of the company.” The new location for BMW Group Classic also provides a touchpoint for owners and fans of classic vehicles of the brands BMW, MINI und Rolls- Royce with information and services relating to the preservation and care of their automobiles and motorcycles.
