BMW
BMW appears in 中国消费者带动拉夫劳伦增长，东航优化机票退改签政策 as the sharpest margin example in the German luxury-car segment. The source says BMW’s second-quarter automotive-business margin was 2.3%, while Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi all had first-half margins below 4%.
The source ties BMW’s pressure to the same China-market shift affecting its German peers: China sales fell about 20%, demand for luxury fuel vehicles weakened, and domestic new-energy brands entered a price range that German brands had long treated as premium territory. The episode therefore connects BMW to German Luxury Car China Pressure / 德系豪华车中国压力 and High-End EV Branding / 新能源车高端心智 rather than only to ordinary auto-cycle volatility.
