BMW more than tripled its profit in the third quarter. According to a statement on Wednesday, the Munich-based company earned around 1.7 billion euros.

However, the massive increase is only a sign of strength to a limited extent, but is mainly due to the fact that the same quarter of the previous year was unusually poor due to problems with brakes. Back then, it was not even enough for half a billion.
With the current figures, BMW sees itself on course to achieve its targets for the current year. We have shown "how robust and sustainable our business model is", says BMW CEO Oliver Zipse. The European CO2 fleet targets will also be achieved this year, "without flexibilization or pooling", he emphasized. Other German manufacturers are in a less favorable position.
There is also positive news from the iX3, the first model in the New Class - the basic concept for BMW's future electric cars. "Incoming orders in Europe are well above our expectations and demonstrate the high level of customer interest," says Zipse. So far, the car is only available to order in Europe.BMW increases profit in the third quarter
