According to
Bloomberg, the X5 is BMW's most profitable model and ranks fourth in the auto industry behind the Porsche 911, Aston Martin DBX and Ferrari F8 Tributo.
The BMW X5 will account for 16% of auto earnings for BMW, while constituting just 7% of BMW's sales volume.
All these models generate "a disproportionately high level of overall earnings," says Michael Dean, automotive equity research analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence, speaking via phone from the Frankfurt Auto Show.
