Hundreds of thousands of cars that have to be recalled, stuttering demand, cut sales and profit forecasts - BMW has recently made more headlines than the vehicle manufacturer would like. What impact has the exceptional situation had on the Group's largest engine plant in Steyr, where a billion euros is currently being invested in e-drives?

BMW has publicized far-reaching problems twice in recent weeks: the German premium vehicle manufacturer has had to recall more than 1.5 million cars due to a possible problem with the brake system, while 688,000 vehicles in China will be ordered to the workshops from March due to a problem with the coolant pump.
