Insights  •  BMW  are  operaXng  in  a  highly  compeXXve  U.S  market.  Its  main  rivals  are  Mercedes,  Lexus  and  Audi.  

•  Audi  is  growing  faster  than  all  the  rest  and  they  have  been  quite  aggressive  in  their  communicaXon  output.  

•  Mercedes  is  the  more  conservaXve  of  the  brands  and  appeals  to  a  slightly  older  demographic.  

•  BMW  appeals  primarily  to  young,  single,  highly  educated  and  high  earning  urbanites.  

•  They  are  very  knowledgeable  about  car  products  and  oeen  do  not  need  to  go  to  a  showroom  before  making  their  purchase  decision.  

•  They  expect  their  auto  brand  to  acXve  online.  •  BMW  is  a  leader  in  search  acXvity  and  we  saw  a  posiXve  relaXonship  between  search  and  sales  figures.  

Insights  

•  In  the  luxury  end  of  the  car  market  quality  is  assumed.  

•  There  is  liRle  to  choose  between  rivals  in  terms  of  product  specificaXon  &  performance.  Therefore  the  point  of  differenXaXon  must  be  more  emoXve.
