X5 is Most Profitable Model For BMW and Fourth in Auto Industry
BIMMERPOST NEWS X5 is Most Profitable Model For BMW and Fourth in Auto Industry 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.

I guess I am a little surprised by this stat, as I do think the X5 is priced to deliver a fairly good value considering what it is equipped with and its competition. I imagine that the healthy 50i price differential over the 40i is very profitable, but I suspect there are relatively few 50i models sold compared to 40i.
I wonder if these stats take into account the impact of warranty claims. I have taken my X5 in for warranty items far, far more than any vehicle I or anyone in my entire extended family ever has. And from what I read on these boards, I don't think I am alone. |

I might be missing something here from some comments. Are people expecting a 1 - 1 ratio on earnings and number of sales? Of coarse you pay more than it cost to make and everyone knows new model years the typical buyer isn't hunting for the most discount they chase the NEW. lol I know I paid more for my 2019 X5 than I could have for other models or years.

I believe the huge profits The price jump between a 40 & a 50 is ridiculous . Almost $20,000. And frankly the 40 is under powered at 335hp for $62,000 base. The new Lincoln Navigator starts at $54K with 400hp/400lb.
When I bought my 650i M couple, the difference between the 6 cyl 640 was only $11,000. Greed is alive & well my friends. |

My mistake, I meant the Aviator. Got to tell you, the reviews I have read so far are very positive. Great looking SUV in & out. I may test drive one to see for myself. |

I do realize the M50 has the M Sport pkg, brakes,ect. If looking at the 40i compered to the 50i your paying that $14,950 more for just 110hp. And the additional content still leaves a huge gap between the 2. The math does not make sense to me. |

I read the article above about the Aviators and Explorers — that is quite concerning. My mother is in the market for replacing her GX460, and while she was considering getting a new X5, I have been discouraging that based on my own issues and those of many members on this board. As mentioned above, I think it is just sound advice to avoid first year production models... I certainly have learned my lesson |
