Currently reading: BMW Group profits rise to £13.5bn despite sales dip

German firm warns that rising costs and supply issues will hamper 2022 production targets

The BMW Group more than doubled its profits to €16.1 billion (£13.5bn) in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period last year but the firm warns it will not hit predicted yearly production targets, blaming rising energy costs and part shortages.

The company, which owns BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce, recorded a 65.9% uplift in pre-tax profits as it sold 1,160,094 models between 1 January and 31 July, down from 1,339,047 (a 13.4% fall) in the same period last year.

Sales 13% lower, profits 65% higher.  BMW is clearly ripping everyone off.
