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.
