Do you like your BMWs? Well, of course you do, most people like them. But do you like them to be just a bit more (or a lot more) personalized?
Forbes, the well-known American business magazine, puts BMW on the ninth place in the Forbes rankings, making it the world’s most powerful carmaker.
Of course, the first places are occupied by tech giants such as Apple, Microsoft or Intel. Getting back to the automotive industry, BMW is followed by Toyota which ranks 14th, closely above Mercedes-Benz on 16th and Honda on 19th.

BMW plans to debut the production version of its first EV, the i3 concept, at this year’s Frankfurt auto show.

It seems that 2016 will be the year when BMW’s M Division will finally get their hands on the yet-to-be-launched BMW i8.
