I think you might find that BMW are considering ‘Triumph’ which, I believe, is a brand they already own…

The same Prodrive that owns 49% of FPV? Thanks Falcon for the info.

My guess is they will be looking in Asia, purely because that’s a giant market. VW is already there, leaving BMW behind.

But what? Can’t possibly be the 0 star Chinese cars, can’t be Hyundai/Kia. Suzuki is bigger and better than most people know, and could conceivably fit in the BMW family without too much change, but are they for sale? I suppose every business is, when the price is right.

I guess a Volkswagen equivalent would be a good comparison Bavarian, although we’ll have to wait and see, it’s possible that BMW are thinking completely differently.

Did BM not buy Aston Martin in the end ? Ford still owns it?

I wonder what they could buy that would enhance their current range of vehicles?

Nothing comes to mind.
