The Quandt family is the majority shareholder in BMW (they own
somewhere around 49% of the stock). They've recently set up a holding
company of sorts to thwart any potential suitors. I recall reading a
quote that they were not interested in selling BMW.
Now, regarding Saab and Ford, they ain't an item. GM bought Saab a
few years back, and to be honest, I can't tell a difference. Same
with Jaguar and Ford. I've been really happy that these American
giants have had the sense to leave their European makes alone (except
for buying power/cost cutting). Don't tell me a Jag with a working
electrical system isn't an improvement!
