02

The BMW Group – one of Germany’s largest industrial companies – is one of the most successful car and motorcycle manufacturers in the world. With

BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce, the BMW Group owns three of the strongest premium brands in the automobile industry. The vehicles it manufactures set the highest standards in terms of aesthetics, dynamics, technology and quality, borne out by the company’s leading position in engineering and innovation. In addition to its strong position in the motorcycles market with the BMW and Husqvarna brands, the BMW Group also offers a successful range of financial services.

The course towards a successful future was set in 2007 with the adoption of Strategy Number ONE. The business was given a new strategic direction with an emphasis on profitability and long-term value growth. Our activities will remain firmly focused on the premium segments of the international car markets. Our mission statement up to the year 2020 is clearly defined: the BMW Group is the world’s leading provider of premium products and premium services for individual mobility.

Long-term thinking and responsible action have long been the cornerstones of our success. Striving for ecological and social sustainability along the entire value-added chain, taking full responsibility for our products and giving an unequivocal commitment to preserving resources are prime objectives firmly embedded in our corporate strategy. For these reasons, the BMW Group has been the most sustainable company in the automotive industry for years.

1917, having been originally founded in 1916 as Bayerische

Flugzeugwerke AG (BFW); it then later evolved into the very well-known name of

Bayerische Motoren Werke

Aktiengesellschaft (BMW AG) in 1918. Ninety-five years later, the name still stands.

Dear Shareholders,

The 2013 financial year was the best ever in the history of your Company, the BMW Group.

We achieved new sales volume, revenues and earnings highs, and exceeded our targets.

The BMW Group remains the world’s top-selling car manufacturer

With almost 1.67 million vehicles sold, the BMW Group continues to be the world’s leading premium manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Our three automobile brands, BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce, also set new individual records. A further 113,000 customers purchased a BMW or Husqvarna motorcycle. Our Financial Services business also contributed to this positive sales development.

Revenues of € 68.8 billion and a profit before tax of more than € 7.3 billion also represent new highs for the Group. The BMW Group stands on a firm financial footing, maintaining our profitability. This provides us with additional flexibility in an uncertain environment and also gives us the ability to continue making important investments in the future.

Our capital expenditure of around € 3.7 billion in 2013 included investments in new products and the expansion of our international production network. One thing is clear: we will continue to make major investments over the next few years. That is the only way to respond to growing demand for our vehicles and at the same time realize new drive technologies, industrialize electromobility and offer our customers innovative mobility services. Our research and development expenses increased to more than € 3.3 billion in 2013. This investment was primarily earmarked towards projects to secure our future growth.

We continue to strive for a good balance of growth between Europe, the Americas and Asia.

This is essential to economic success in a highly volatile environment. The same applies to our highly flexible international production network of 25 sites in 14 countries. In 2014, we will open a new plant in Tiexi, China. Future growth also exists in the BRIKT countries of

Brazil, Russia, India, South Korea and Turkey. We intend to capitalise on this potential.

We are expanding our international presence in a global world. This will give us greater freedom from market and currency fluctuations, promoting our long-term success and enhancing our competitiveness. Not least, it will secure jobs in Germany and around the world. Germany continues to form the backbone of our production activities.

The right approach to the challenges of our times

Business success depends on different parameters. We believe that social responsibility and sustainable action are just as significant as growth, profitability and efficiency.

The Company’s success is only made possible through the dedication, creativity and team spirit of the almost 100,000 employees of the BMW Group. On behalf of the Board of

Management, I would like to thank all of our employees around the world for their commitment and dedication in 2013. I would also like to thank our entire retail organization, our suppliers, and business partners for the continuation of great work.

The BMW Group is considered to be one of the most attractive employers. We recruited a total of 4,000 new staff in 2013, securing ourselves key competencies for the future. We also embrace our responsibility for training young people. We increased the number of apprentices to 3,899 by the end of 2013.

We are shaping the mobility of today and tomorrow for our customers, and thereby building a stable foundation for the future of the BMW Group.

As our shareholders, you have continued to show your support and confidence in our abilities to manage and maintain the BMW Group. We strive to ensure that your Company remains an attractive investment and a profitable enterprise with a strong reputation and high level of credibility, as well as satisfaction, for years to come.

Debt crisis unnerves stock markets

Stock markets around the world came under pressure in 2013 as a result of the debt crisis in the euro zone and concerns about the US economy. Unlike in 2011, the German stock index, the DAX, was not impervious to these developments in 2011 and dropped sharply over the course of 2013 against a background of high volatility. The advances made during the first six months of the year could not be sustained in the second half of the year. The 2013 stock market year came to an end with the index down by 14.7 % at 5,898 points. In May the DAX reached its high for the year at 7,600 points. The European debt crisis caused the index to tumble by some 30 % during the period from July to September. At 4,966 points, the index’s low for the year was recorded in

September. The aversion of investors to finance-related securities and economy-sensitive stocks became particularly evident in the second half of the year, as reflected in the performance of the Prime Automobile Index. The sector index lost 161 points during the period under report, finishing at 688 points (– 19.0 %). The

EURO STOXX 50 performed just as weakly, dropping 17.0 % in value to 2,317 points.

BMW AG stocks were affected by these negative market developments and accordingly marked down. BMW common stock closed at € 51.76 on the last day of trading in 2013,

12.0 % lower than one year earlier. In July it had reached a new all-time high of € 73.85 and in October recorded its low for the year at € 43.49. BMW preferred stock held up a little better, losing only 5.1 % in value compared to its closing price at the end of the previous year. It finished the year at € 36.55, compared to its high of € 46.05 in July.

Employee share programme

BMW AG has enabled its employees to participate in its success for more than

30 years. Since 1989 this participation has taken the form of an employee share programme. In total, 408,140 shares of preferred stock were issued to employees in 2013 as part of this programme.

In accordance with a resolution taken on by the Board of Management on 15

November 2013 and with the approval of the Supervisory Board, the share capital was increased by € 407,960 from

€ 655,158,608 to € 655,566,568 by the issue of 407,960 new non-voting shares of preferred stock. This increase was executed on the basis of Authorized Capital 2010 in

Article 4 of the Articles of Incorporation.

The new shares of preferred stock carry the same rights as existing shares of preferred stock and were issued to enable employees to obtain equity participation in the Company. Multiple shares of preferred stock were also bought back via the stock market in order to service the employee share programme.

Top-level ratings

BMW AG’s long-term and short-term ratings were raised by one level in July 2011 by the rating agency Moody’s from A3/P-2 to A2/P-1 with a stable outlook. In

September 2011 the rating agency Standard & Poor’s confirmed BMW AG’s rating of A– /A-2 and raised the outlook from stable to positive. This resulted in BMW

AG currently having the best ratings of all European car manufacturers. The improved ratings and outlook reflect the worldwide rise in demand for our products, the successful implementation of measures in conjunction with Strategy Number ONE and the stable financial position of the BMW Group. Strong creditworthiness underlined by good ratings, a strong set of financial indicators and investor confidence all contributed to ensuring that the

BMW Group continued to have excellent access to the world’s capital markets.

BMW GROUP AUDITOR’S REPORT

18

We have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by Bayerische

Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, comprising the income statement and statement of comprehensive income for group, the balance sheet, cash flow statement, group statement of changes in equity and the notes to the group financial statements and its report on the position of the Company and the

Group for the business year from 1 January to 31 December 2013. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and Group Report in accordance with IFRSs, and the additional requirements of the German commercial law pursuant, are the responsibility of the parent company’s management. Our responsibility is to express opinion on the consolidated financial statements and on the Management Report based on our full audit.

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with § 317 HGB and German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer or the

Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and in the Group Management Report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and in the Group

Management Report are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit also includes assessing the annual financial statements of entities included in consolidation, the determination of entities to be included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and Group Management Report. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audit has not led to any reservations.

In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with IFRSs, as adopted by the EU, the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315 a (1) HGB and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the

Group in accordance with these requirements. The Group Management Report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as a whole provides a suitable view of the Group’s position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development.

Sustainability management involves the continuous and systematic analysis of external conditions as well as the consideration of social and ecological aspects in the decision-making process. We also participate in an intensive dialogue with our stakeholders. Stakeholder dialogues held in New York and Leipzig in

2013 provided useful inputs to enable us to assess external conditions.

Always in motion.

We never stand still, because there is always something we can improve on.

There is always another idea waiting to be realized. More customers for our products to inspire. A future to be shaped.

That is what premium mobility means to us.

We move people.

Passion. Precision. Dedication. Design excellence. Innovation.

All of these and more go into every product we offer without fail. That simply explains why our vehicles never cease to inspire and satisfy. Last year, no fewer than 1.8 million people chose to buy a product from one of our four brands, which is more than ever before in the history of the company.

That means: 1.8 million moving moments. For us, for our associates and dealers, but most of all for the people who share our joy of driving.
