H. came into being in 1917, having been founded in 1916 as Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG (BFW); it became Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (BMW AG) in 1918. The BMW Group – one of Germany’s largest industrial companies – is one of the most success- ful car and motorcycle manufacturers in the world. With BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce, the BMW Group owns three of the strongest premium brands in the automobile industry. The vehicles it manufactures set the highest standards in terms of aesthetics, dynamics, technology and quality, borne out by the company’s leading position in engineering and innovation. In addition to its strong position in the motorcycles market with the BMW and Husqvarna brands, the BMW Group also offers a successful range of financial services. The course towards a successful future was set in 2007 with the adoption of Strategy Number ONE. The business was given a new strategic direction with an emphasis on profitability and long- term value growth. Our activities will remain firmly focused on the premium segments of the international car markets. Our mission statement up to the year 2020 is clearly defined: the BMW Group is the world’s leading provider of premium products and premium services for indi- vidual mobility. Long-term thinking and responsible action have long been the cornerstones of our success. Striving for ecological and social sustainability along the entire value-added chain, taking full responsibility for our products and giving an unequivocal commitment to preserving resources are prime objectives firmly embedded in our corporate strategy. For these reasons, the BMW Group has been sector leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for the last six years. 04 BMW Group in figures Sales volume of automobiles Revenues in thousand units in euro billion 1,600 60 1,500 55 1,400 50 1,300 45 1,200 40 1,100 35 1,000 30 06 07 08 09 10 06 07 08 09 10 1,374.0 1,500.7 1,435.9 1,286.3 1,461.2 49.0 56.0 53.2 50.7 60.5 Profit before financial result Profit before tax in euro million in euro million 5,250 5,250 4,500 4,500 3,750 3,750 3,000 3,000 2,250 2,250 1,500 1,500 750 750 06 07 08 09 10 06 07 08 09 10 4,050 4,212 921 289 5,094 4,124 3,873 351 413 4,836 05 BMW Group in figures 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Change in % Sales volume – Automobiles BMW 1,185,088 1,276,793 1,202,239 1,068,770 1,224,280 14.6 MINI 188,077 222,875 232,425 216,538 234,175 8.1 Rolls-Royce 805 1,010 1,212 1,002 2,711 – Total 1,373,970 1,500,678 1,435,876 1,286,310 1,461,166 13.6 Sales volume – Motorcycles BMW 100,064 102,467 101,685 87,306 98,047 12.3 Husqvarna – – 13,511 13,052 12,066 – 7.6 Total 100,064 102,467 115,196 100,358 110,113 9.7 Production – Automobiles BMW 1,179,317 1,302,774 1,203,482 1,043,829 1,236,989 18.5 MINI 186,674 237,700 235,019 213,670 241,043 12.8 Rolls-Royce 847 1,029 1,417 918 3,221 – Total 1,366,838 1,541,503 1,439,918 1,258,417 1,481,253 17.7 Production – Motorcycles BMW 103,759 104,396 104,220 82,631 99,236 20.1 Husqvarna – – 14,232 10,612 13,035 22.8 Total 103,759 104,396 118,452 93,243 112,271 20.4 Workforce at end of year1 BMW Group 106,575 107,539 100,041 96,230 95,453 – 0.8 Financial figures in euro million Revenues 48,999 56,018 53,197 50,681 60,477 19.3 Capital expenditure 4,313 4,267 4,204 3,471 3,263 – 6.0 Depreciation and amortisation 3,272 3,683 3,670 3,600 3,682 2.3 Operating cash flow 2 5,373 6,246 4,471 4,921 8,150 65.6 Profit before financial result 4,050 4,212 921 289 5,094 – Profit before tax 4,124 3,873 351 413 4,836 – Net profit 2,874 3,134 330 210 3,234 – 1 Figures exclude suspended contracts of employment, employees in the non-work phases of pre-retirement part-time arrangements and low income earners. 2 reported in the cash flow statement up to 2006 as cash inflow from operating activities of Industrial Operations and from 2007 as cash inflow from operating activities of the Auto- mobiles segment 06 Joachim Milberg Chairman of the Supervisory Board 07 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, The fi nancial year 2010 marked an upswing for the BMW Group after the global fi nancial crisis. Together with the Board of Management and the entire workforce, we are delighted with the way business has developed, enabling us to report the best result to date in the BMW Group’s corporate history. During the year under report, we continuously and carefully monitored the running of the business and its perform- ance with the aid of regular written and oral reports provided by the Board of Management. Joint discussions were also held in which we advised the Board of Management on important aspects of projects and planning. These discussions with the Board of Management were always conducted constructively and in an atmosphere of trust. Main emphases of the Supervisory Board’s monitoring and advisory activities In a total of fi ve meetings, one of them held over a two-day period, we deliberated in particular on the BMW Group’s current performance and fi nancial position, the corporate plan and strategy, risk management and risk provision, personnel decisions, the further develop- ment of the Board of Management’s compensation system and corporate governance. In addition to the scheduled meetings, the Board of Management also kept us informed of current business and economic developments, particularly sales volume performance, personnel fi gures and other signifi cant matters. The Chairman of the Board of Manage- ment informed me personally and on a regular basis about major business transactions and projects. Again in 2010 the Supervisory Board examined the management and organisation of the Financial Services segment. In preparation for the full Supervisory Board meeting, we discussed with the Presiding Board the current organisation of the Financial Services segment, which falls under the remit of the “Finances” management portfolio. We received a detailed status report on various projects aimed at improving liquidity and risk management, maximising the benefi ts from sales support given to the Automobiles segment and optimising legal entity and management structures. The framework conditions and organisational implications of the planned changes in the segment were also discussed at length. The Supervisory Board is in favour of enhancing the segment‘s legal and organisational structure in a way that ensures that suitable control and balancing mechanisms are in place in the relationship between the core industrial segments and the Financial Services segment. One meeting of the Supervisory Board took place at the Regensburg plant, where vehicles such as the BMW 1 Series, the BMW 3 Series and the BMW Z4 are manufactured. During our visit, we took the opportunity to look for ourselves at the preparations being made for the scheduled model start-ups in 2011. Using examples from the pressing plant, body construction and assembly areas, the members of the Supervisory Board were given a demonstration of how the prin- ciples of a value-added production system (VPS) can be applied to achieve further process improvements. In September, another two-day meeting was held, providing us with the opportunity for an in-depth discussion with the Board of Management regarding technical innovations and new vehicle concepts.

  • Mg Car Club History
    MG CAR CLUB HISTORY The first complete MG Car Club History was compiled by the late Mike Hawke and published in 2000 to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Club. The book was soon out of print, there was clearly a need for a replacement and Peter Browning volunteered to edit an enlarged and updated version. This is the first of a multi-part series. It is a little over six years since I put together a page of readers’ correspondence for The Light Car including the letter that started it all. It appeared over the signature of one Roy Marsh and was published in the issue of September 5, 1930. Why Not an MG Club? Being a very interested reader of The Light Car and Cyclecar, I notice that a number of one make clubs have been formed lately with very satisfactory results. Now Midget enthusiasts, what about an MG Car Club? There are hundreds of you and surely some very enjoyable social runs and trials could be arranged. Perhaps MG owners would let me have their opinions on the idea. Quite brief and to the point, it took immediate effect. That was as inevitable as the subsequent growth of the Club. You cannot have a lot of people rushing round the country in cars like MGs without wanting to get together. Various people wrote to various other people. HM Post Office was enriched by numerous pennies inserted in numerous slots and one or two more letters appeared in The Light Car. The upshot of it all was an announcement in that journal of an inaugural rally on October 12 for the purpose of formally bringing the Club into being.

  • Das Kulturengagement Der BMW Group
    Unternehmenskommunikation Presse-Information 2013 Das Kulturengagement der BMW Group Das Kulturengagement der BMW Group mit über 100 Projekten weltweit ist seit mehr als 40 Jahren ein essentieller Bestandteil der Unternehmenskommunikation. Schwerpunkte des kulturellen Engagements setzt die BMW Group in der Modernen und Zeitgenössischen Kunst, der Klassischen Musik und Jazz sowie in Architektur und Design. Immer dann, wenn sich die BMW Group kulturell engagiert, setzt sie voll auf die absolute Freiheit des kreativen Potentials – die in der Kunst genauso Garant für bahnbrechende Werke ist wie sie für die wichtigsten Innovationen in einem erfolgreichen Wirtschaftsunternehmen steht. Moderne und Zeitgenössische Kunst. 1972 entstanden drei von der BMW Group beauftragte, großformatige Gemälde: „Rot“, „Gelb“ und „Blau“, die der Künstler Gerhard Richter für das Foyer der Münchner Konzernzentrale anfertigte. In diese Zeit fallen auch die ersten kulturellen Engagements seitens BMW. Hervé Poulain initiierte die ersten BMW Art Cars, dessen nunmehr 17. Exemplar von Jeff Koons 2010 präsentiert wurde. Diesen einzigartigen „rolling sculptures“ widmet sich nun erstmals eine aufwändig gestaltete Publikation, die Ende dieses Jahres erscheint und die Historie der legendären BMW Art Cars im Detail nachzeichnet. Die Fotosammlung „AutoWerke“ mit Arbeiten von u.a. Thomas Demand, Thomas Struth, Candida Höfer und Rineke Dijkstra wurde 2005 im Rahmen der Neueröffnung des BMW Werk Leipzig dem dortigen Museum für Bildende Künste geschenkt. Formate zahlreicher Museen werden kontinuierlich weltweit unterstützt, die Akademie der Bildenden Künste München wird mit einem Ausstellungsraum gefördert, in dem Studierende ihre Werke und Installationen eigenständig kuratieren. Zur Förderung junger Kuratoren wurde 2011 die MINI/Goethe-Institut Kuratorenresidenz „Ludlow 38“ ins Leben gerufen, die Ausstellungsmachern aus Deutschland für den Zeitraum eines Jahres die Arbeit in New York ermöglicht.
