BMW is reportedly negotiating a confidential minimum import price undertaking with the European Commission that could exempt China-made MINI EVs from the EU’s 20.7% countervailing duty imposed in October 2024. The move follows Volkswagen’s February 2026 exemption precedent and comes amid weakening BMW deliveries in China and a broader strategic reset.
