3. I ntroduction: BMW is a German luxury vehicle, sports car, motorcycle, and engine manufacturing company founded in 1917. It is one of the best-selling luxury automakers in the world. The company headquartered in Munich. BMW is the parent company of Mini and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

5. Present location BMW announced in 1992 that it would build a 1,150-acre (4.7 km 2 ) manufacturing facility in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, United States to strengthen its international production system. The plant opened in 1994. The $2.2 billion plant, which employs 8,800, is one of the company’s global five-plant production networks.

6. Reasons for changing production location outside of Germany: Geographical factors had to be examined because thousands of automobile parts needed to be delivered from both domestic and foreign suppliers. In order to keep the supply chain cost down, it was decided that the new location should have ample highway/interstate excess and be reasonably close to a port from which both supplies and finished automobiles could be easily transported. Another considerations way to easy access to an airport for BMWs executives travelling back and forth to its headquarters in Germany. The final location factor was government related. BMW wanted to move to a locating that was “business friendly” in terms of making concessions on issues such as infrastructural improvements, tax abatements, and employees screening and education programs. The overall goal was to make the relationship between BMW and the local community as mutually beneficial as possible through coordinated improvement effort.

7. After a three and half year search process that’s stringently evaluated the ten viable options across these location factors. BMW finally decided to build a new 2 million square foot production facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The final decision was made based on a good match between the aforementioned selection criteria and the environment in Spartanburg. As a global company, the BMW Group operates 31 production and assembly facilities in 14 countries(Such as: Austria, Italy, Russia, Egypt, South Africa, UK, Brazil, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India.) and has a global sales network in more than 140 countries. As of December 2016, the BMW Group had a workforce of 124,729 employees.

10. Six-cylinder cars In 1933, BMW introduced the 303. Larger and more conventional than the AM-series 3/20, the 303 used BMW's new M78 engine, making it the first BMW automobile to use a straight-6 engine.

13. Analysis : BMW manufacturing crisis and reasons for changing manufacturing location outside of Germany. First crisis for BMW AG – WWI aftermath Winter 1918 factory closure- The Commissioner for Demobilization with responsibility for Bavaria ordered the closure of BMW’s Munich plant with effect from 6 December 1918. Return of Castiglione and merger with BFw - On 20 May 1922, Castiglione bought the BMW name and engine-building business from Knorr-Bremse for 75 million reichsmarks . Bayerische Flugzeugwerke ( BFw ) into BMW and established BMW's factory and headquarters at BFw's premises.

14. Second crisis for BMW AG – WWII aftermath By the end of the war, the Munich plant was completely destroyed.BMW sites in eastern Germany were seized by the Soviets. And BMW was banned from manufacturing motor vehicles by the Allies. The company's factory at Eisenach was taken over by the Soviet Awtowelo group. These were sold under the BMW name with the BMW logo affixed to them. To protect its trademarks, BMW AG legally severed its Eisenach branch from the company.

15. Third crisis for BMW AG – a company for sale By 1959, BMW was in debt and losing money. The Isetta was selling well but with small profit margins. BMW's supervisory board, proposed a merger with Daimler-Benz. The dealers and small shareholders opposed this suggestion and rallied around a counter-proposal by Dr. Friedrich Mathern , which gained enough support to stop the merger. By 1963, with the company back on its feet, BMW offered dividends to its shareholders for the first time since World War II.

16. BMW SWOT analysis 1. Strengths- Brand reputation Environment friendly vehicles Quality products Highly skilled workforce Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Strong brand presence in China 2. Weaknesses- High cost structure Weak brand portfolio Perception of high prices Too few acquisitions and strategic partnerships

17. BMW SWOT analysis 3. Opportunities- Increasing fuel prices Positive attitude towards “green” vehicles Expand brand portfolio Changing customer needs. 4. Threats- Intense competition Rising raw material prices Decreasing fuel prices Growing euro exchange rate .

18. Reasons for which BMW is so successful brand Well there are several reasons behind its success, most important one is quality. It excels in quality and technology both - sheer driving pleasure. So, overall BMW represents a luxurious experience. It has also got a strong brand image. It invests in technology and quality. However, the perception of the brand is mainly that of a luxury brand. Recently, it started introducing some low priced variants like its bike which is going to be introduced to developing markets. Quality and reliability are also strong points behind BMW success today. They believe in excellence in everything they do: service, product quality, customer relationships .

19. Reasons for which BMW is so successful brand In a design point of view, marketing the products is BMW's strong point. The 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 Series are all different and they each carry a different character, whereas Audi car designs are all similar, especially the front and Mercedes is even worse. Product variation cannot be under-estimated. BMW spends around 25% of their profits into Research and development and it is because of BMW that put so much of their innovations and improvements. In conclusion, a company must know what the public wants and must maintain a keen interest in the relationship with their customers and value their thoughts. That's why BMW is where it is today, so far ahead of the others.

20. The key success factors thus of BMW can be summarized as   Business model of BMW Technology Brand image Sustainability

21. Recommendation and Conclusion BMW Company is one of the leading manufacturing companies in the world. It could have identified the location facilities and applied those facilities in the company. It has become so rich only because of changing the location from Germany to Spartanburg County, south Carolina, United States. The same company is earning more profit than before for cheap labor, proximity to customer, proximity to supplier and environmental facilities etc. So we can say that every company should consider the location factor when starting a business like the BMW Company.
