Toyota takeover of BMW? - XFullFatTim - 04-08-2014 05:18pm

Have recently heard from two sources that there may be a Toyota bid for BMW in the offing. Toyota is looking for engine technology...............

I think that the majority of BMW shares are owned by one family which makes this less likely IMO. If they were able to persuade them them to sell it would have to be at a massive premium. In some ways Honda makes more sense and would be cheaper. They have been tipping consolidation in this sector for some time now so never say never I guess.
