FRANKFURT, May 7 (Reuters) - German premium carmaker BMW

on Wednesday confirmed its 2025 outlook, saying it

expected some of the tariffs that have been imposed on vehicle

imports globally to be temporary and decline from July.

The group said its 2025 outlook provided in March, which had

factored in all tariffs announced up to that point, still stood,

forecasting earnings before tax on par with the previous year

and an operating margin at its automotive segment of 5-7%.

Citing strong orders and cost discipline, the company posted

an operating margin of 6.9% for its automotive unit in the first

quarter, down from 8.8% in the same period last but higher than

the 6.3% forecast in an LSEG poll of analysts.
