7 Ways BMW Can DESTROY Tesla and Mercedes (The Phoenix Plan)

7 Ways BMW Can DESTROY Tesla and Mercedes (The Phoenix Plan)

BMW has lost everything that made it BMW. The driving feel? Gone. The luxury crown? Taken by Mercedes. The tech crown? Tesla owns it. The iconic design? Turned into a global meme. But history repeats itself — BMW was two weeks from bankruptcy in 1959 before it built the 2002 and changed everything. Now the company faces another collapse, and this video reveals 7 bold moves that could resurrect BMW from the ashes — and the fourth one is so obvious it’s painful they haven’t done it yet.

First, kill every subscription. No heated seats for €18 a month. No acceleration unlocks. No “features you already paid for.” When you buy a BMW, you should own it all. This single move could restore billions in brand value and rebuild trust faster than any marketing campaign.

Next, bring back naturally aspirated engines. Porsche’s GT3 proves enthusiasts crave high-revving sound and soul, not muted turbo lag. BMW could easily build a 3.2L straight-six masterpiece — pure, raw, and timeless. Then, fix the design. Shrink the grilles, restore the shark nose, and fire every designer who thinks “beaver face” equals luxury. Admit the mistake. Launch the “We Listened” campaign. The market will reward humility.

Rebuild the people’s car — a modern 2002. Lightweight, rear-wheel drive, manual, affordable. A €32,000 sport sedan that saves the brand by inspiring young buyers again. And make manuals standard in every M car. Freedom of choice sells passion. Porsche proved it.

Then go further: create BMW Purist, a new sub-brand that rejects tech overload. Analog gauges, real buttons, hydraulic steering, physical key — the anti-Tesla. Limited production, massive impact. Sell nostalgia as authenticity, not software.

Finally, price aggressively. Undercut Mercedes by 20%, crush Tesla’s ego, and make BMW aspirational again for the next generation. It’s not about premium margins — it’s about rebuilding loyalty. When people love your cars again, profit follows.

BMW doesn’t need more tech. It needs courage — the courage to admit failure, rebuild beauty, and reclaim identity. Every one of these seven steps could reignite the brand, but the clock is ticking. Will BMW choose painful rebirth or comfortable extinction?
