    The goal BMW should strive to achieve is to sell 100,000 units by end of the year 1996 which translates to about 10% year on year sales growth from the year 1992. This goal also means BMW gets about 8% market share of the luxury automobile sector in the year 1996 considering 3% annual growth rate in the luxury segment. This goal is realistically achievable given that the efforts of the ‘Second Great Opportunity’ have already started yielding results with a 23% unit sales increase for the year 1992.

    We recommend that BMW continue into Phase II with a combination of both strategies. Having fulfilled their stated goals for Phase I, we believe this approach will continue to benefit the company throughout Phase II. Now that the hype from the James Bond movie has subsided, BMW must find a way to sustain the cachet built around the car until it's dealership arrival in March 1996. They want to continue promoting the car and the company through their sponsorship of the Summer Olympics while also reminding the public of BMW's traditional reputation.
