BMW cuts 100+ managers as China sales slump, US tariffs pressure profits

BMW is accelerating cost-cutting by eliminating over 100 management positions, signaling expectations of subdued profitability for years. The move reflects structural pressure from collapsing demand in China and new US tariffs, which are reshaping the automaker's outlook. The scale of the cuts and the prolonged profit warning indicate a deeper, multi-year margin compression rather than a cyclical dip.
