Abstract

This case deals with BMW’s decision of launching two new sub-brands for cars in rapid succession after having had only two brands for the past 39 years. The introduction of even a single sub-brand can be seen as a large step for the firm which previously consisted of the core brand BMW and the sporty M division. Introducing two sub-brands in only 13 months has tremendous influence on strategy and marketing matter and could change the entire company.
