BMW is optimistic about growth in China with the all-electric Neue Klasse series. Sales in China dropped by 15.5% in the first half of 2025. The launch of the iX3 electric SUV aims to boost profitability, with plans to phase out old models by the end of the decade.

The new vehicles have batteries that are 40-50% cheaper, helping BMW achieve margin parity with combustion engine equivalents by 2026. The company targets an automotive EBIT margin of 8-10% in the future. Import tariffs in the U.S. could impact BMW’s profit margin by 1.25 percentage points in 2025.
