Layoffs at BMW Group

About 8,000 employees

BMW plans to shed about 8,000 jobs by the end of 2027, mostly office roles in Germany, through a voluntary severance program, according to a company source; production line workers are excluded.

Where
Mainly Germany (office roles, incl. Munich HQ and research center)

How we count

Each layoff is an announcement a company made or confirmed, with at least one source. Employee totals add the numbers as stated: “about”, “at least” and “up to” figures count as given, and layoffs without a number count toward companies and layoffs only. Headquarters filters use where a company is based, not where the cuts happen.
