BMW confirms the end of 6 Series GT production.
https://www.bmwblog.com/2023/08/01/bmw-6-series-gt-production-end-2023-report/
BMW Blog has reported that the manufacture of the BMW 6 Series GT would cease in 2023. The 6 Series GT, which debuted in 2017 as the 5 Series GT's replacement, was renowned for its roominess and opulent amenities. Unfortunately, it appears that there hasn't been much demand for this specific model, which has led to its anticipated demise. While the brand wants to adapt to shifting consumer tastes and market trends, this choice is consistent with BMW's concentration on electrified and crossover cars. The brand's overall effort to simplify its portfolio and adjust to changing demand is reflected in this move.
After receiving dismal results, BMW's CEO resigns.
After BMW's poor financial results, Harald Krueger, the CEO, has resigned. Due to the enormous expenditures associated with creating electric and driverless vehicles, the German automaker's profitability have decreased. Krueger, who spent three decades working for BMW, gave personal reasons for leaving the company, but his choice coincided with difficulties the business was facing due to changes in the sector. Like other automakers, BMW is attempting to adjust to the move toward electrified and self-driving vehicles, as well as the growing competition from tech behemoths. Now, the organization has to choose a new leader to guide BMW through current difficulties and to future success.
