Why BMW Is No Longer The Leader In Luxury Sales
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 січ 2020
- BMW lost its crown as the top-selling luxury brand around the world to fellow German rival Mercedes-Benz. In 2012, the BMW brand led Mercedes-Benz in global annual sales, but Mercedes-Benz gained the top spot in 2016 and has held it since. Mercedes has also surpassed BMW in its home continent of Europe, a major market for both. BMW appointed a new CEO in August 2019 and has assured investors it is on its way to reinvigorating its brand, but progress could be a bit slow.

Why BMW Is No Longer The Ultimate Driving Machine

They need to stop innovating their grills and focus on the rest of the car.
@Donald Trump 😂😂 your right, grills are the most important thing next to fake vents.
Yup the main problem is their designs are either super ugly or boring as hell
@@webchamp930 I've yet to see a BMW I like better than the E30, E92. Their interior designs aren't really that good, never actually were. I'm a fan of like Porsche, Mercedes, Audi before BMW, I feel.
🤣🤣🤣 I swear bro
@@jorhop4005 apparently the reason for the stupidly big grills on the new BMW"s is because of China. Apparently Chinese ppl like cars with big grills.
The main signs of a company’s failure is brand abuse: focus on investors over innovation, dividends over development, and CEO’s over workmen.
Sounds like typical publicly traded companies...
They also diluted their M brand, so many fake M car out there
the last one doesn't exactly apply for a great company. A lot of great companies like Amazon don't really care about the workmen and they are still profit machines.
You've basically described every corporation.
Ferrari are doing the same thing , they have always been the pinnacle of design and engineering and performance , low volume gorgeous cars . Now they are churning out bland uninspiring model after model and jumping on the terrible suv market . Others cars used to copy ferrari , now ferrari copy other cars

@@21mikeross However you miss the drivetrain innovation point in Tesla compared to the old ICE tech in BMW. Tesla focuses its attention in the "brain" of the "girl", not as much in the outfit
Lol 😂😂😂
I love BMWs but they really have to stop slapping M badges on every damn car with slightly aggressive front bumpers
어른이 장난감 By doing that they cheapened the M brand for sure.
Yah it dilutes the power of the M brand
True
Mercedes is literally doing the same with the AMG badge smh
Ya the M cars are really weak now and not very special like they used to be.
Bmw is trying to cater to soccer moms, they need to remember they got there for making the ultimate driving machine, not the ultimate grocery getter
I think BMW was the compromise for dads who wanted to buy a Porsche, but couldn't sell that idea to his wife.
Keyser Soze import sales data of our trucks and sports cars to Europe would beg to differ. We seem to be making fun cars even if I drive a 2019 X5.
Keyser Soze my stupid countrymen don’t understand that a sitting up high in a Suv doesn’t work when everyone else has an suv. You aren’t safer, you are the same idiot driving an even bigger hunk of metal
Keyser Soze so true. Europeans have much better cars.
@Keyser Soze All the technology Germans have for building cars came from the Yanks, you dolt! They were the ones who financed the Nazi war machine, and as such, most if not all its industrial capacity during Hitler's regime.
Even as a millennial, my favorite BMWs are the 80s models because their fun, quirky, and small. I think BMW has lost a lot of that and replaced it with useless tech and big grilles.
@@violet_lilac ? They have that
@@brandonhernandez1111 part of the long options list😂
Because you are an old man probably. Nostalgia shouldn't be under estimated.
The big grills came as a result of the new innovations to counter Mercedes ...
@@giftmorzel6318 huge grill massive innovation
It's because they put all of their resources into building HUGE GRILLES!
Devoted BMW fans are hoping that the aftermarket will provide a replacement grill very soon.
They are no longer trying to make “the ultimate driving machine” they just make cars that will sell in high numbers.
Bingo. They also all but eliminated the manual transmission.
DD5 Reaper You used to be able to get a manual with almost any model, even the X3, now they are very select.
Plastic dash and vinyl seats on a 40-50k car is UNNACCEPTABLE
Bigger grill bam 100k

No one:
BMW: let’s make the grill bigger, people like that, right? That’ll help us sell more cars!
Thank you
hahahhaha
you have china to thank for that
I will get the 440i especially for the grill!!
@Mike Rotchburns BS
Engine sound from the speakers - innovative...

Just like mustang
At least real exhaust
@@aamikkalinin6385 Thank Fking god
its because the interior is so well insulated…
Less fake vents, less fake exhausts, less fake exhaust interior sounds and smaller grills... But apparently the Chinese market loves all those things, hence the design...
They lost the fun toys , the i8 should have been a monster and was a little monster.
A little pony😂😂😂
for real... imagine if they made it a supercar hybrid like the p1
Uhh have you heard of the m4 gts? 100k track car
Said someone, who had never sat in one! It is a gorgeous and wire fast car. It was never meant to be a super car, drag car, race car. It was meant to be a high-tech one. A toy for those who can afford it, and is turning heads as much as a P1 does. Even today, 5 years after the first release. Also affordable unlike P1.
BMW and Mercedes also have their own factories in Russia, where some models are assembled. Recently in Russia showed a new model of the truck KAMAZ: ua-cam.com/video/olcO2zawKig/v-deo.html&feature=emb_logo as well as an innovative model of the car, which is controlled by the power of thought: ua-cam.com/video/geexq4zr4d8/v-deo.html&feature=emb_logo and in General what life looks like in Russia, therefore, we can understand that in Russia everything is not so bad as the opponents of Russia declare with the help of propaganda! If it will be interesting to know something about Russia, here is more information - I live in the provincial city of Perm: ua-cam.com/video/JbGhEoPwx0w/v-deo.html today in the labor market, the salary we have is this: perm.hh.ru and perm.zarplata.ru/vacancy/yandex ($300 part-time or light work, and up to $ 2,000 full-time, or business trips) the prices of products in stores: semya.ru/sale/vremya-nizkikh-tsen/ another retailer: edadeal.ru/perm/offers (In Russia, GMOs are not used in products, so the products have natural taste, but some bloggers from the United States say that there are products mainly with the addition of synthetics, so it is difficult to find a natural taste in products, probably from this and mass obesity) The rate of $ 1=62 rubles, but because of the parity of the purchasing power of the ruble, $ 100 in Russia (for of small taxes, low cost of energy resources, Russia's own raw materials, etc.) is not the same as $ 100 in the United States (for example, the defense budget of Russia is $ 50 billion, and the Pentagon budget is $ 730 billion, but in total about $ 120-150 billion is spent on the purchase of equipment and maintenance of the Russian army in rubles and how much the Pentagon spends on the same amount of procurement and maintenance of the army, so it is wrong to consider the ruble to the dollar in this case)! So is built and evolves Russia-schools, hospitals, are opening production (information is updated every 24 hours): sdelanounas.ru/blogs/ Secondary education for free, higher education free, if you type a certain evaluation under the end schools (such students majority), and if paid, then have us will from 800 until 1,200$ in year.

So that not everything is as bad as they say about Russia in the Western media!
Taxes, as one of the lowest in Europe, for example for their real estate (7 hectares of land with buildings), I pay $ 1,700 a year, and for example for car (Volkswagen Touareg 245 HP) $ 220 a year, and insurance on the car (given my experience) is $ 170 a year. Mortgage loan, you can take under 7% per annum for up to 30 years (at the government level, recently considered the question that the banks of Russia will plan a significant reduction in the mortgage rate over the next three years), you can take a consumer loan of up to 100 thousand $ for up to 5 years and build your own house of brick and concrete, and not from plywood and insulation, as in the United States for $300 thousand! You can buy a ready-made business, here are the options in our city: www.avito.ru/perm/gotoviy_biznes

Point 1: Extra Large stupid Grills
Point 2: Interiors look same from 3 to 8 series
Point 3: FWD cars by BMW !
Point 4: Manual transmission is a dream now
Tbf Mercedes interiors are also the same from A to S Class
@@edipires15 you propably meant A to S. But even then you are wrong difference between C and E is huge even E and S differ enough that you couldn't mistake them with one another
Gizawar lol you have used the worse example to talk about differences: take a look at those cars again, the exterior design is practically the same thing, there’s only a few differences (for example the front lights: the C class has one line while the E class has 2) that take them apart, but a ordinary person quickly looking at them both wouldn’t see a difference.
The interiors are different because the C Class is an older model, but if take a look of all new Mercs, the interior is exactly the same (BMW is doing it too though, so it’s a matter of taste)
@@edipires15 we were talking about interiors not exteriors
Gizawar Your first sentence doesn't make sense at all. You repeated what he said.
And yeah Mercedes all look the same. If I didn't watch carwow I would never know the difference from outside between different Mercedes models because they all look exactly the same and so do their interiors. In fact, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi all have same interiors in their different models. I personally like BMW's best because they put more effort in designing an interior whereas the other two just slapped screens everywhere
Maybe instead of Toyota using their parts, they should use Toyota parts
DAYASHII haha
They used a BMW engine, the most reliable thing BMW makes. It's the electronic stuff that's a problem. The problem with the Supra ( I think that's what you're referring to) is that it doesn't come in manual.
@@paranormalblacktivity9164 everyone cry's bout the manual transmission, Maybe if all these manual transmission people put their money where their mouths was it would still be around. Where I live with he traffic you can't give away a manual and they are very hard to sell. I will take the automatic all day long. Notice that hardly any super cars are manuals now its time has passed
They already do, The transmission in most BMW 2 series is a similar AISIN transmission found in Corollas, Camrys and RAV4s, isn't it ironic.?
BMW in my opinion has to go back to it's ruts and make affordable, reliable, fun to drive cars like they used to, back in the day.
@@Giardintek who told you the 2 series uses aisin transmission? All 2 series (manual or automatic) uses ZF transmissions, not aisin.
I own a 2003 BMW Z4 and a 2014 BMW 428. I’ve always loved bmw because of its handling and performance, I also love the designs.
this whole video has been about bmw "image" and never mentions quality
because there isn't too much of that
@John Texas what does this video have to do with trump or the kardashians
Thats because Mercedes outsells BMW because mercedes has a better image. Both brands have the same quality, mercedes has a better image of luxury.
@@tt-ln4mc Mercs have better quality
@@jordanrosenberg9816 No they dont. BMWs have better engines, thats a given if you've ever driven both. Interior, if you've ever seen reviews for both cars, you would see how terrible reviews are for Mercedes' interior touchpad garbage. BMWs idrive is much better quality and reviewers prefer it.
BMW's design has been too conservative since Chris Bangle left. Instead they've been adding more models, often overloaded with tech that doesn't make it the ultimate driving machine it once was 10+ years ago.
And just completely unreliable now.
Chris Bangle designed ugly cars
Yes, thank you! It's a sad time for them when mainstream brands like Hyundai and even some Toyotas are producing more interesting, sexier cars. Albert Biermann even works for the Hyundai group now, leading their N division.
I think it's opposite, they ditched key design features like the small kidney grills, round headlights, straight lines from front to rear(like the E38), etc
@@cheapdrunk8531 that's just your opinion man...his designs were literally copied by every automaker.... And BMW became #1 under his reign... Their sales exploded worldwide and they retained their dominance until 2016.
Such gloom and doom for a brand that has grown for 5 years straight
The biggest issue BM has is their too expensive after sale service and not very customers oriented personnel. The way BM treats it's customers repeals many (including me) people to buy some other brands.

The answer is yes, all their freaking cars are the same. A 6 year old BMW is the same as a 2020.
KN Byam that’s just ignorant
@@demolisherOfMoney Not completely. Take a look at EVERY BMW model. There are some common parts and designs that are identical, right from the 1 Series up to the new 8 Series. All BMW's have the same steering wheels, door handles, air vents and button stacks, as well as almost identical shifter area designs. Personally, I think the design is attractive. But it just feels wrong when your 30K 1 Series looks the same as your 150K 8 Series.
@The Truth Exactly. Even on the inside still looks the same. In those cars people want the latest shiny gadgets, instead its the same old panel with a screen.
KN Byam what are you talking about look up the 2020 bmw m340i or even the 330i. Def big step up from years prior

George L DCTs are only in their m lineup really, no one expects high performance sports cars to be reliable 🤷🏽♂️
Good thing all our German brands in South Africa sell the cars with a 5 year maintenance plan that covers things like this.

The new kidneys are so big, they make kids cry.
IKR? Its ugly and I own a BMW. when I first seen the new bmw with that big kidney 🤮🤦♂️. What are they thinking?
It’s different, it’s extreme, and honestly it’s for the best. Unfortunately BMW cannot keep the same pig-nose size grill forever, and it’s been that image for a very long time. We live in a time now where the only things that succeed change at a drastic rate.
@@jordanmiller6374 The X7 has been noted to be quite the looker in person the larger grill works really well with it, and is robust and elegant. The only model I would have a bit of a dislike for would be their 7series because it's not executed well doesn't fit the design ergonomically. But the majority/rest of their portfolio are nice, 1,2, 3,5,8, X models they all have reasonably proportionate grills.
Just look at the evolution of interiors between BMW and Mercedes. BMW only does minor facelifts on their interiors while Mercedes completely redesigns them. Speaking of interiors, sometimes it is so hard to tell them apart just looking at their interiors.
In fact, Mercedes is gonna stop innovating combustion engines because it's as good as it's ever going to be. Why break something that is perfect?
This video has not aged well as they got No. 1 in the US in 2019.

Dead cat bounce. They'll be on the bottom again.
BMW watered down the "M" division of their cars. They've just been slapping the badge on a non M car so make it more sporty.
They have been doing that for years, since the 90s in fact. The whole M Sport line for people who want the sport appearance but don't want the excess bagage of a performance car.
@@kylesoler4139 My last two BMW's both have had the sport suspension on them. It is a different suspension than stock (lower and stiffer) the earlier one was a stand-alone option, the other was part of the M-sport package. My newer car is also X-drive and has a more aggressive torque vectoring program to make it drive more like a rear wheel drive car. That sounds like more than just an appearance package. For just looks they had the sport line package.
Also not everyone wants an M car as a daily driver but want more driver involvement than you get with a Camry or even a base BMW.
Fools will speak foolish things
Exactly! I have loved my BMWs over the years, but I lost interest once the M badge started appearing on the 1 series cars.
It's not true tho. M4 is faster than the 4 series vice versa
Make them reliable and stop cost cutting everything like plastic engine stuff..
You mean all the plastic that rots including the coolant tank that kills engines. Or door seals. You never have to replace these things on a Japanese car. Great cars to lease. At least the warranty will still apply. BMW - Bring Your Wallet
The plastic engine stuff is mostly to cut down on weight. But I agree, BMW needs to really get quality control in order. The design, technology, etc. is all there, just improve reliability.
The british police uses a range of BMW cars for about ten years now. That has to mean something about the cars *Being* reliable.

They used to make great cars with effective engineering and high quality. Now they're just a status symbol for people to show off how good their credit score is. They drive like refrigerators compared to their earlier cars.
BMW at one time sold themselves as offering luxurious status symbols that catered to the driving enthusiast. From a performance and marketing standpoint, they did it better than anyone else. That's why people bought the cars. Now, they've blunted the performance of most of their models in favor of bloated tech. They've also made the cars too approachable-every other soccer mom has a white X3 on a 299 a month lease-the brand is no longer aspirational. They're also a johnny-come-lately to the electric/hybrid game, which is seen as trendy by many buyers.
Perhaps they shouldn't have used so much plastic that turns brittle and breaks after the warrantee is up?

Mark my words in a couple of years BMW would start sharing technology with Toyota and vice versa..
What they really need to do, is "aggressively" focus on reliability. The market now is not into spending huge for a car and continue spending huge for the rest of its lifecycle
Innovate some durability and reliability and maybe they will sell more cars......
Correct
Right? Nobody buys a BMW these days, they only lease them because they're practically junk after 3 years.
For the pretentious, they appreciate the fact that BMW innovates their ego so they buy based off of impressing strangers. With that said, I think BMW will do just fine by catering to these people alone.
Same thoughts. My go to weekend car is a Lexus IS350 - you get the performance and luxury, with the added bonus that it won't fall apart after a few years. BMW needs to stop their planned obsolescence tactic and bring back the famous quality craftsmanship that Germans are known for.
Anything I’ve read suggests you’re out of touch..Mercedes has lost quite a bit on quality/durability in recent years, recently recovered somewhat but not on the BMW tip. Interesting that you don’t know this..
Bmw: so how much plastic can you throw inside the engine bay?

The reason they're having an "image" crisis is because they've had a quality crisis for a while.
Every bmw after the e36, excluding M models, every series is basically the same just with a different body even the interiors are just scaled up
They're made out of plastic and charge ridiculous amounts for those plastic parts. So they fall apart after a few years. Meanwhile Audi quality is top notch and Mercedes is very good.

If they had a car half as much fun to drive as mine was, I'd buy it without a second thought.
When you try to have driving dynamics like Porsche and luxury like Mercedes, you have to save money somewhere, looks like it was reliability and build quality.
Bmw needs to improve their reliability first.

We have a BMW and have for years. Their interiors havent changed in a long time. They really need to innovate as Audi and Benz have done.

dee. M sure that’s not you
Haha yup
Yeah idk why people are saying that for me it’s teeny tiny
Those sales are going to drop even more when people see how ugly their future vehicles look like with their grilles becoming longer and wider.

@Warhammer W40K In at least Canada they break a lot beyond 5 years and parts cost a fortune. It is commonly known for mercs past 5 years if anything breaks it will be over 2k to fix. To give you an idea of cost of repairs I had a coworker rear end someone at 20kmph at a light with his BMW coupe. The cost of the repairs was listed as 18k.
owned a bmw 750 2012 and It was burning 1liter of oil EACH TANK OF GAS. Every time i had to refill gas i had to also refill 1 liter of OIL.
that has nothing to do with their sales. People that buy/lease luxury cars don't keep them for more than 3-6 years anyway.
When was last time someone saw a BMW with 200K miles on it? I been working with car for 20 years & in past decade I have not seen a single BMW with heavy miles on it.
that has nothing to do with their sales because nobody who buys/leases a new BMW keeps them for more than 3-6 years anyway
BMW dilemma is this: there are people who wants sportiness but there are a whole lot more who wants luxury. Cater to just the sportiness crowd means it won't grow as fast (evidenced by Mercedes growing at a faster rate). Catering to both crowds means diluting its uniqueness and heritage and thus alienating the sportiness crowd. Unless BMW can satisfactorily solve this dilemma I don't see it take back the crown from Mercedes anytime soon. Sure BMW will continue to grow and make profits but the crown is gone.
They’re making fwd vehicles now, that’s where they went wrong!
Lucas Odum ew
it is about the requirements needed to finance the vehicle, try getting a lease on BMW and one on Mercedes

7:43 In my opinion that is totally incorrect, what made Mercedes more popular now is what made BMW more popular in the early 2000s. Innovation and a good design, not more models. That is actually something that is currently being harmful to them, they have way to many cars that are really similar and confusing for customers. So whist more models might boost sales in the short term, BMW has to face the reality that they have to start to innovate again, like they once used to.
Yeh exactly, Tesla is doing quite well and they don’t offer many models. I do think they need better designers. The new 3 and 7 series look terrible imo.
What about lower price points
You hit the nail right on the head, I like bmw but Mercedes interior are much nicer and luxurious than bmw
bmw has itself admitted to this fact on multiple occasions. they have compromised on units to get profits by selling fewer model variants. it is very much a true statement.
I think you are wrong. Mercedes just squeezed every drop out of ic engines. Bmw made electric cars merc made 6.3L engines for rich sporty chinese buisnessmen and maybach kinda cars for the relaxed chinese buisnessmen. Bmw heavily invested in mexico before trump, build one of the most modern factories, invested in britain with mini before brexit. All in all many smaller errors and merc was just... these are the fossil years baby! (Don’t know if the electric smart is any good)
I always had a sweet spot for the i3. To me it was the perfect urban/suburban car. Perfect for day to day driving: small, practical, electric and peppy. I hope they are able to bring back a i3 v2. The big coupes are not my cup of tea, performance doesn’t need to be big engine, rear wheel drive 2 door anymore. That’s an old concept. To me a “sporty” car is equal to fun, not to absolute performance numbers. If it’s light on its feet and have enough power to move, I’m interested, I don’t need a big noisy engine.
I noticed years ago that both BMW and Mercedes suddenly had a weird "Chinese look" about them - grill, tail light, etc. Its obvious they are now making them to please Chinese accountants and dentists. Americans can put up with it or walk away, doesn't matter.

SamTheCar yes because the most popular cars in the US are Camry's, Corolla's and F-150's. This video is about BMW, the Ultimate Driving Machine.
I thought they made these to support local mechanics and repair men. Hence why you should always get two BMWs - so you can actually drive a car while your BMW gets fixed at the shop.
There's still hope BMW; that top spot is waiting for you.
The reason BMW became so huge and desirable is because the company had a mission statement to build the ultimate driving machine and they delivered decade after decade. There was a point in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s that it seemed as if the brand no longer cared about that and only wanted to increase sales and appeal to bigger markets. Though somewhat successful, everybody drives a bmw now, not just purists and wealthy elitists, it has cost the brand it’s reputation and original appeal. I hope the brand goes back to making truly driver focused cars again. I used to be a huge fan but I no longer desire to buy a new BMW these days.
