10月11日华晨宝马宣布,将向宝马出售华晨宝马25%的股权。交易完成后,宝马和沈阳金杯汽车将分别拥有75%和25%的华晨宝马股权。华晨宝马总计注册资本为1.5亿欧元,其中宝马出资1.13亿元,其余为合作伙伴出资。公告中发布了最新消息,预计2022年对宝马X5以及纯电动汽车将于2022年进行本地化及投产,总计年产量100万辆。按投资协议所载进行大东工厂及铁西工厂项目有关的相关事宜及投资。目前在中国销售的宝马X5为宝马在美国斯帕腾伯格工厂生产。受中美贸易争端影响,进口宝马X5将面临40%关税。在中国投产后,X5售价将大幅降低。这一价格差异可以参考国产宝马X3和进口X3之间的不同。宝马X5国产后,价格至少比进口车型低10万元。此项交易后,华晨宝马董事会由8人组成,包括2名沈阳金杯+6名宝马人员,董事会成员由宝马任命。除了负责财务和人事的副总经理,所有高层管理人员均由宝马任命。
BMW X5 to be produced in China from 2022
On October 11, Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd. (CBA) announced that after selling half of its stake in Brilliance BMW to BMW Group, BMW and Shenyang Jinbei Auto will own 75% and 25% stake in the joint venture respectively. The total registered capital of BMW Brilliance is 150 million euros, 113 million of which is from BMW while the rest is from its local partner.
The announcement also revealed some future investment. First of all, the BMW X5 and battery electric vehicles are expected to be locally produced from 2022. The total annual production capacity will be up to 1 million units. Then, new investment will be granted for new and existing plant structure in Dadong and Tiexi plants.
Currently, the BMW X5 sold in China are produced in BMW’s Spartanburg plant. Affected by the trade spat, a 40% tariff is levied on the imported BMW X5. Thanks to the local production, the price of the model would be lowered sharply. Taking the price gap between the locally-produced BMW X3 and the imported X3 for reference, the locally-produced BMW X5 will be at least RMB 100,000 cheaper than the imported one.
After the deal is closed, the board of BMW Brilliance will be composed of 8 members, six from BMW and 2 from Shenyang Jinbei, while the chairman will be appointed by BMW. All top managers will be named by BMW except vice general managers responsible for financing and personnel.
