BMW expressed its interest in cooperating with other car makers to make their manufacturing process for efficient and to save on production costs. In relation to this, BMW has already signed a partnership contract with Saab last September 2010 where the two automakers will be sharing an engine. Carbon Motors also has large diesel engine orders from BMW. Fisker Automotive will ALSO receive the new N20 four-cylinder powerplants from BMW. Now, would a partnership with a competitor work? BMW is rumored to enter into a similar partnership contract with General Motors. Here is an excerpt from BMW Blog’s report:

According to German newspaper Der Spiegel, General Motors is also interested in using BMW petrol and diesel engines. Citing Stephen Girsky of GM, the German publication says General Motors has officially requested these engines from Munich, but it remains unknown which models the US automaker would like to use them for.

The negotiations between BMW Group and General Motors started in Fall 2010, even though at the time Dr. Norbert Reithofer, BMW boss, denied the discussions between the two brands.

It is clear that General Motors also has something to offer, more specifically the technology found in the Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera, two highly respected vehicles in the industry with technology that could benefit the new BMW i sub–brand.
