AsianFin -- BMW's net profit plunged by more than a third in 2024, dropping to 7.68 billion euros ($8.32 billion), in line with an LSEG forecast. The decline was driven by weak sales in China and Germany, as well as delivery delays caused by brake-related problems, which significantly impacted the company's performance.
