Because of the strength of its intangible assets, including brand and intellectual property, BMW has a narrow economic moat rating. Brand strength has enabled premium pricing across all of BMW's products, while intellectual property supports the brand image with strong product execution, especially in powertrains.
BMW possesses durable competitive advantages, given the strength and global recognition of the brands, technological leadership in powertrains, and ability to command premium pricing from consumers that regularly rate its vehicles as some of the best to own, resulting in excess returns.
BMW operates in the highly cyclical, capital-intensive automotive business, where overcapacity restricts pricing and constrains economic profits.
