BMW Motorrad delivered 102,847 motorcycles in the first half of 2026, down 2.9%, while revenue fell 3.3% to €1.708 billion. EBIT nevertheless rose 8.5% to €230 million, lifting the segment's margin from 12.0% to 13.5%.
From a market perspective, the important point is that deliveries fell 2.9% to 102,847 and revenue dropped 3.3%, yet EBIT rose 8.5%. The numbers suggest BMW Motorrad is shifting away from a volume race toward stronger mix and cost control. But if entry models are squeezed in emerging markets, it could also cut off the next source of growth.

Profit over volume—the opposite of the old expansion playbook.
Cutting capex from €64m to €36m feels too aggressive, no?
Short-term profit is clear; the product-development impact comes later.
Honestly, it is reassuring that the motorcycle division is healthy.
I hope some of that profit goes into dealers and parts support.
A 13.5% margin is fine until bike prices rise again.
Sales down 2.9% and EBIT up 8.5%—that is a big profitability shift.
