BMW to sell engine and trasmissions to GM and Fiat

According to a report by the Financial Times Deutschland BMW is in talks with GM and Fiat to sell its rivals its own engines and transmissions. The newspaper cited company sources that talks are currently being held while BMW is also in talks with Mercedes-Benz on a partnership in the compact segment.

Selling engines to GM and Fiat, BMW will be able to increase revenue and reduce spending by spreading out the development and production cost over its engine and transmissions.

The German business daily said that all three companies decline to comment on the matter.

    Ha, GM would turn down a decent powertrain immediately, are you kidding me? They are so proud of their lousy 40 year old pushrod engines that they wouldn’t possibly use real ones.

    HUH! I would take a GM car anyday. . Until I stop putting my BMWs in the shop once a month–they will never again get my money for another one of their so-called “machines.”

    “Hi, i’m Jacob, and I don’t know how to drive. I keep tearing up my BMWs, so I blame them, even though the 3 series is consistently one of the top cars in reliability testing and reported claims.”

    First off, I don’t drive a 3-series. Second, I’m entitled to my opinion and I just do better with other makes.
