BMW Is Increasing Prices On Certain Models And Postponing Electric Vehicle Production | Carscoops

      The alteration in electric vehicle production occurs even though BMW reported a sales increase in the last quarter.

      BMW has declared that it will “postpone” the production of electric vehicles this month.

      The prices for the 2-Series and M2 will increase by 4% since they are manufactured in Mexico.

      Prices for other models will remain steady until June but could rise afterward.

      While the full effects of the Trump administration's tariff policies are still developing, several major companies are already experiencing repercussions. BMW, for instance, has confirmed it will increase prices on the 2-Series and M2 this month. Nevertheless, there is a positive aspect for consumers: the company will maintain stable prices for the majority of its imported vehicles until June.

      A recent communication sent to dealerships throughout the United States indicates that BMW plans to raise prices of the 2-Series and M2 by 4 percent this month due to their production and importation from Mexico. Although this price increase is relatively minor, especially considering the 25 percent tariff imposed on imported vehicles by Trump, it remains an uptick and is not favorable news for customers.

      However, not all news is negative. Following the trend of many other major car manufacturers, BMW has stated it will not raise prices on most of its imported models built until June. What occurs thereafter is uncertain and likely depends on whether the US President enacts further policy changes.

      In the same memo, BMW mentioned that it would “postpone” electric vehicle production in May, without providing additional details. As noted by Sam Fiorani, the vice president of AutoForecast Solutions, “considering the EV market is saturated, it doesn’t make sense to introduce increasingly expensive EVs into an already crowded market.”

      Auto News highlights that the German brand sold 13,538 EVs in the US during the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a notable 26% increase from the previous year. The i4 sedan posted the strongest sales, rising by 57% compared to Q1 2024. The potential removal of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit by President Trump may have also led BMW to postpone its EV production, as it likely awaits further developments.
