As BMW moves into 2016, the brand will retain its spot as the top performance and luxury car maker in the world for one key reason. It’s more than two new cars in the lineup. BMW has a workforce that is motivated to design and build new cars for the brand that will keep BMW the top global automaker in the future.
What is BMW doing differently?
It has to do with who works for BMW and what that means for the long-term future of the performance brand. Happy employees translate to well-build and well-designed cars. BMW will stay number one by first building their employees. The number one asset an automaker has is not its factories. It’s their employees.
The new BMW M2 and M4 GTS are possibly the best two cars the German automaker has ever produced. It’s largely due to a motivated and happy group of young professional employees who work hard for BMW. BMW treats them well, and they are highly rewarded for their efforts. BMW is doing it right.
