Will It Be BMW?"},"content":{"rendered":"

McLaren and BMW make a good team. If you want proof, you can read up on McLaren F1 chassis #17R<\/a>, which we just saw at Pebble Beach. And wouldn\u2019t you know it, various outlets reported earlier in the week that McLaren was looking for a partner. Apparently, someone at McLaren \u2013 probably an accountant \u2013 realized there were people on this planet interested in buying something other than a dedicated supercar. Now, it sounds like they want a piece of it. Why? To make more money, of course.<\/p>\n

The reports came amid McLaren CEO Michael Leiters\u2019 words regarding the company\u2019s finances. In March 2024, a Bahraini sovereign wealth fund called Mumtalakat took 100 percent control. Typically, these kinds of funds don\u2019t seek ownership of an automaker. While they may want to own part of McLaren, it\u2019s not really the kind of thing they want total control of. \u201cA sovereign wealth fund doesn\u2019t aim to own 100 percent of an automotive company,\u201d Leiters said to journalists. He \u2013 and the money backing him \u2013 thinks it would be so very nice to have \u201ca financial or technology partner to unlock the full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reading between the lines and cutting to the chase, McLaren wants \u2013 maybe needs \u2013 a partner. They\u2019re seeking someone with resources, but more importantly, someone with platforms and technologies. The goal is to expand the lineup, after all. But Leiters goes a step further \u2013 he wants to take control of whatever this shared vehicle looks like. \u201cWhatever we do, it will remain a true McLaren product.\u201d That complicates things. Or does it?<\/p>\n

Matchmaker, matchmaker\u2026<\/h2>\n

\"McLaren<\/p>\n

Look, call me crazy, but isn\u2019t BMW the obvious choice here? Leiters already worked at Porsche and Ferrari \u2013 so if a partnership was happening there, it would\u2019ve already. They\u2019re also fairly protective of their brand and not always the most willing collaborators. BMW, on the other hand, has a nice track record there. In addition to the obvious McLaren F1 collab long ago, BMW worked with Toyota to bring us the Supra and Z4. They\u2019ve also put their engines in, well, everything from modern-day Land Rovers to the Morgan Plus Four. So, clearly not afraid of sharing the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Want resources? These days, BMW is flush with cash \u2013 they\u2019re up 2.3 percent in sales globally in Q2 2024, even after a 6.5 percent bump in sales in 2023. Not to mention the brand’s long-lived expertise with lightweight materials, like carbon fiber and plastics. Whether it\u2019s an SUV (we hope not), 2+2 coupe\/convertible, or something else to give McLaren more market share, BMW has the skills there, too. Their SUVs are dynamic and there\u2019s a ton of electrification know-how, in case the Artura is a sign of where McLaren plans to take things.<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n

What does BMW have to gain? While McLaren sees clear benefits from a platform and software viewpoint, it probably wouldn\u2019t be such an easy sell to BMW\u2019s board. There\u2019s perhaps some brand prestige that goes along with it, as well as the F1 link. Co-developing something cool with McLaren might also help people forget about the brand\u2019s current \u2018flagship\u2019 M vehicle, the heavyweight XM. Granted, those things in themselves don\u2019t pay the bills.<\/p>\n

Who knows \u2013 maybe we\u2019ve already seen a glimpse of the partnership. We still aren\u2019t completely sure what this mysterious Neue Klasse coupe<\/a> prototype is, after all. And if you squint a bit, it could almost be a Ferrari Purosangue competitor<\/a>\u2026which would definitely slot right where McLaren wants to be. If we hear anything, you\u2019ll be the first to know.<\/p>\n
