BERLIN, July 31 (Reuters) - BMW's Chief

Financial Officer Walter Mertl said on Thursday that tariffs had

a 2-percentage-point impact on the company's automotive margin

in the second quarter, with the effects being most pronounced

during that period.

The EBIT margin for its auto division came in at 5.4% in the

quarter ended June 30, at the lower end of BMW's 2025 target

range of 5.0% to 7.0%.
