    Official name: Bayerische Motoren Werke AG. Owned by: Stefan Quandt: 29% Susanne Klatten 21% Public shareholding: 50% Owns: BMW, Mini, Rolls-Royce, plus both BMW and Husqvarna Motorcycles. Current situation: BMW’s income is currently at record levels. However, this income is extremely vulnerable to economic problems. Although BMW has increased its sales throughout the world, it has done especially well in China. This could present problems now that China’s car market is starting to show signs of a slump. BMW has also made some colossal blunders in recent decades, such as its multi-billion dollar loss on the failed Rover Group. BMW’s quality is high by European standards but low-to- average by Japanese standards. Chances of survival: Good. BMW’s name carries a lot of weight, so it’s likely to withstand economic hard times. However, if things get tough the Quandt family may wish to sell all or part of its shareholding, so BMW’s future ownership remains uncertain • 1 All content © The Dog & Lemon Guide MMXVIII A brief commentary on BMW N 1917, the Rapp Motorenwerke aircraft engine Imanufacturing company was forced to restructure.
