BMW along with highlighting their objectives and business practices in the business
environment.

along with evaluating its corporate and social behavior in the short as well as in the long run.
The overall discussion will be highlighted under different topics in an informative manner
discussing all the relevant points related to the automobile giant, BMW.
1.2.4. Vision
The BMW brand epitomises Sheer Driving Pleasure – past, present and into the next 100
years. BMW aims to make this fascinating driving experience even more intense in the
future. The driver is in constant communication with the vehicle in an intuitive and natural
way. At the same time, the vehicle expands the driver’s range of perception and transforms
him or her into the “Ultimate Driver” – the best driver they can possibly be. The Companion
responds to the driver’s personal needs in order to create emotionally-intense experiences.
New technologies:-
In big complex organisations such as BMW the imports of new technologies might disrupt
the current infrastructure and that because new computer software may vanquish the need of
a customer support canter because everything can be atomically through internet.
Security/Threats:-
In the automotive industry it’s important to be able to keep vital documents of the company
or prototypes of designs safe from industrial espionage or malicious hackers. The way for this
to be done is through with Communications (networks) controls, firewalls or encryption
programs.
Ethic/Social Issues:-
Since BMW has a fun club in the internet it is obliged by the law and for ethical issues to
have the information of the members strictly confidential and not be exploited for
commercial reasons.
E-commerce:-
The issue here is the Data security & ethics. BMW uses e-commerce in order to have
information on the customer’s like’s dislike’s and be able to be more attractive to customers.
All information gathered is a part of the legal authority on the company’s web site.
MINI Brand—"The MINI brand wins hearts and turns heads. MINI is refreshingly different:
extroverted, spontaneous and in every respect something out of the ordinary."
Rolls-Royce Brand—"For over 100 years, motor cars of the Rolls-Royce brand have stood
for truly outstanding engineering, quality, and reliability."
2) Hand-drawn sketches
The BMW designers do not have a completely free hand. They must rather comply with
requirements for the defined character of the future vehicle as well as technical conditions
such as the wheelbase, trunk volume or safety requirements. All the available technological
innovations need to be included in such a way that future users perceive them as functional,
sensible and visually fascinating at the same time.
3) Precision: Tape drawings:-In tape drawing, not only the character, but above all the real
volume can be recognized with a few striking lines.
4) Virtual experts: Digital models At this stage state-of-the-art digital technologies come to
play in the design process. From two-dimensional sketches, CAS (computer-aided styling)
designers create a virtual three-dimensional vehicle. Among other things, they use Virtual
Reality.
Envision – We envision, yet we don't give limits and ideal models a chance to
restrain our reasoning. Creative mind prompts new thoughts and new thoughts lead to
advancement
Develop – Not for advancement, yet we have a genuine effect to the item and
administration we offer and the way with which we convey.
Move – We rouse ourselves as well as other people. Through development and
application we set new norms to gauge ourselves.
Since our customers are of prime importance, Bird Automotive also has expansion plans in
Gurgaon in the near future to cater to our customer base and provide better experience,
services and consequently strengthen our relationships with our customers.
1.6. PRODUCTS
BMW X1
The BMW X1 is the perfect vehicle for those who want to interpret driving pleasure in line
with their own needs and wants. Its SAV proportions demonstrate impressive aplomb, its
interior enormous flexibility. Through the BMW x Line and the BMW Sport Line it offers
two design worlds that allow you to set particular accents in the exterior and interior. Thanks
to a combination of BMW Efficient Dynamics measures and efficient BMW Twin Power
Turbo engines, the BMW X1 boasts impressively low consumption and emission values in all
engine versions.
BMW X3
BMW x4
No matter what challenges may lie in your way, the all-new BMW X4 eagerly anticipates
them. Its progressive design and the coupé-like contours instantly reveal its thirst for action.
And thanks to the first-class driving dynamics, the innovative lightweight construction with a
low centre of gravity as well as the even higher performance level – only one thing stands
between you and your destinations: sheer driving pleasure.
BMW X5
The all-new BMW X5 is designed to let you boss every road with unmatched comfort and in
extreme ease. Whether you are seeking the uncharted or looking to raise your driving
pleasure many notches higher. On the outside, a sculpted exterior with imposing dimensions
will make your presence felt in the city, on the highway and beyond. Equipped with new
technologies for more safety and maximum driving dynamics on every surface, the all-new
BMW X5 knows where it’s going. And how to get there first.
BMW x6
The BMW X6 combines the solid stance of an X model with the sportiness of a coupé. The
commanding front contains striking air inlets that provide an indication of the power lurking
behind them. The large, sporty-shaped double kidney grille underlines this athletic presence,
with an added air of supremacy provided by the double headlights and the fog lights, which
are positioned wide on the vehicle’s exterior. When viewed from the side, the sporty, coupé-
like silhouette comes to prominence, optically framed by the premium chrome surrounds of
the windows. From this perspective, the active design language of the BMW X6 is
recognisable in an instant: The first part of the unmistakable crease line extends from the
powerfully shaped front wheel housings to the rear door handles. The second part begins at
the rear wheel housing and tapers off elegantly at the rear of the vehicle. The dynamic nature
of the BMW X6 is even more prominent at the impressively wide rear, where horizontal lines
characterise the solid stance. The BMW X6 is ready to leave all limits behind.
BMW 5 series
Its mission statement: setting new standards. The all-new BMW 5 Series is the embodiment
of the modern business sedan. Thanks to its dynamic and simultaneously elegant appearance,
it convincingly meets the expectations that are placed today on a vehicle of its class: aesthetic
athleticism and driving pleasure with state-of-the-art technology
BMW GT
Soft suspension plays spoilsport at times, Priced too close to the bigger, more advanced 5
SeriesThe BMW GT has always had two key qualities linked to it – that it’s fast, and that it’s
luxurious. Now, BMW has updated the GT range by adding the delicious M Sport trim to the
mix. It’s still fast, and luxurious but we are here to find out if it’s any more tempting than the
bog-standard GT we drove last year. This new version can be had in either Alpine white or
Estoril blue and if you ask us, it ought to be the latter shade if you really want your GT to
stand out. The classic BMW colour (seen in the E46 M3, F10 M5 and more recently, the M2)
looks brilliant in a sea of silver, black and grey coloured luxury cars. As for the design bits
exclusive to the M Sport trim, you get sharper looking 18-inch alloys, kidney grille slats
finished in gloss black, M badging on the front fenders and M design door sills. Otherwise,
the 330i GT looks the same and retains the frameless windows, the coupe-like stance and the
sloping roofline. The rear spoiler, which extends and slides back into the bodywork
depending on the speed, could be seen as a bit of a gimmick, but it doesn’t look out of place
over the bright shade of blue.
BMW 7series

BMW 7 Series Saloon, delivers a new echelon of driving pleasure. Imagined, designed and
crafted for individuals who value every moment, discover an experience inspired by those

Chapter 2 - Objective and Methodology
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
It is really crucial for you to understand what is segmentation , targeting and positioning before
we get into the BMW market segmentation. As a marketer, you might not be working towards
just one need of a customer, but different needs of different customers.
And when you group the customers based on some homogeneity in their needs or based on
some criteria involving their attributes and characteristics, you have perfectly
performed segmentation on your audience.
Now you would know the different clusters of need that you have to cater to.
So to get this correct, segmentation is where you would begin to create value for your customers
that the customers need. Because now you would know which kind of customers need what.
Gone are the days of mass marketing. If the need of my customer A is different from the need
of the customer B, you would want to tell about the same product to both the customers
differently.
Further, a particular product of yours can only be for one or few segments. And therefore, you
need to choose which segments(s) you plan to target. This is Targeting.
