Some of you may know that BMW wanted to buy Aston Martin from Ford early this year but Ford wanted to retain a share which BMW did not like and therefore the deal never finalized. Ford had offered Volvo at that time with full share to BMW and talks started early this year and have been going back and forth since.
BMW is strong financially and #1 luxury car maker in world and looking for future expansion and growth. Lets see what happens, maybe Carlos will step up.
