BMW NA 50th Anniversary | 50 Stories for 50 Years Chapter 5: “BMW Motorsport and the Mighty CSL Win The 1975 12 Hours of Sebring.

Mon Feb 03 19:50:00 CET 2025Press Release

If you’re an automotive executive in charge of sales and marketing, how do you raise the company’s profile when you’re unable to advertise? That’s the situation faced by Bob Lutz in 1974, when he was attempting to replace Max Hoffman’s independent US distributorship with a wholly-owned sales subsidiary. Lawsuits were pending, but until the matter could be settled Hoffman had the exclusive rights to advertise and sell BMW cars in the US. Nothing in ...

BMW NA 50th Anniversary | 50 Stories for 50 Years Chapter 4: “BMW of North America: Ready for Business”

Mon Jan 27 17:35:00 CET 2025Press Release

Upon taking his seat on the BMW board of management, Bob Lutz began replacing BMW’s independent distributors with wholly-owned sales subsidiaries, first in France in 1973, then in Belgium and Italy. The move would increase profit—on a per-car basis, the distributors had been earning vastly more than BMW itself—and it would also allow BMW to rationalize product planning and manufacturing. Equally important, it would allow BMW to unify its advertising and ...

BMW NA 50th Anniversary | 50 Stories for 50 Years Chapter 3: “Bob Lutz: The New BMW AG Board Member Shakes up the Worldwide Distribution System” Written by: Jackie Jouret

Wed Jan 22 17:00:00 CET 2025Press Release

Within the automotive industry, Bob Lutz is legendary as a Car Guy, an executive who prioritized exciting, fun-to-drive cars over those with mass-market appeal. During his brief tenure as BMW’s board member for sales, Lutz fulfilled those expectations handily, fostering the creation of enthusiast-oriented cars like the 2002 turbo and 3.0 CSL, and by founding BMW Motorsport to put BMW back on the racetrack with a full-factory team.

BMW NA 50th Anniversary | 50 Stories for 50 Years Chapter 2: “Before BMW of North America: The Max Hoffman Era” Written by: Jackie Jouret

Wed Jan 22 16:51:00 CET 2025Press Release

If one character could be said to dominate BMW’s early years in the US, it’s Max Hoffman. As BMW’s sole distributor in this country from 1962 to 1975, Hoffman was a champion of the marque, one whose belief in BMW allowed cars like the 2002 to reach a broad audience of dedicated enthusiasts. Alas, Hoffman’s true role within BMW history is as much villain as hero, however, as it was with respect to nearly all of the marques represented at one time or another ...
