BMW currently makes use of all its resources to produce a greater amount of vehicles and doubling its profit margin in a period less than 5 years. Its 23 manufacturing plants, have increased to 100% of their productive capacities. The company wants to achieve at this time a 10% profit, while growing demand from their suppliers. The latter are responsible for supplying inputs and components on BMW, have stated that the German manufacturer seems to have put aside the quality and technological innovation for missed dividends. Scoch Manfred, the executive board of BMW, has criticized a change in suppliers, and claims that they get better benefits than the manufacturer. The relationship between manufacturer and suppliers have deteriorated drastically in recent times since Scoch statements. In fact, BMW was the best client based distributors of automotive parts, who have now responded to their high profits are a result of their innovation and hard work and not the result of a rise in their prices. Even these have remained constant and have respected the agreements already negotiated.

However, BMW is not consistent with its suppliers and believes rather build certain components in their own facilities to reduce costs. Because of this, plants in Leipzig and Regensburg will expand. Has been allocated € 200,000 euros for the purpose that it hopes to be ready by BMW 2009. BMW states that it is better to invest in their skills, to pay providers nationally and internationally. If relations are still a bad way in the coming years, BMW could possibly be self-sufficient.
