When the US automotive industry is taking care of the impact of sweeping tariffs, the Trump government confirmed on Tuesday that it would require measures to facilitate part of the financial burden -but do not eliminate it. While the existing 25% tariff for imported vehicles remain in full power, the administration announced that the tariffs will no longer be “stacked” with other taxes, such as: B. those on steel and aluminum. Car manufacturers that import cars and parts avoid being taxed twice on the same raw materials. A spokesman for the White House confirmed that President Trump will later sign an executive regulation on Tuesday that formalizes the change.
Additional tariffs for imported auto parts that are to come into force on May 3 will continue to continue. In order to pillow the blow, however, the administration will introduce a temporary reimbursement program: car manufacturers receive a relief of up to 3.75% of the value of a new US car for one year, followed by 2.5% in the second year before it was completely switched off. After intensive lobbying from six large groups in the automotive industry, the auxiliary measures are carried out, which warned that layers could paralyze suppliers and endanger US production.

Among the foreign car manufacturers who are particularly susceptible to the tariffs are BMW, whose US portfolio are gathered in both Germany and Mexico. Last month, BMW took preventive measures to alleviate the immediate blow for American customers. In a statement, the company announced that the MSRPs grown in the plant in San Luis PotosĂ, MSRPs of vehicles, including the BMW 3 Series, the 2 Series CoupĂ© and the high-performance M2 to on May 1, 2025. After this date, BMW plans to increase prices by 4%, and M2, M2, M2-Matik. M2.
No price increase was currently announced for the 3 Series built by Mexico, although BMW warned that further adjustments are possible, depending on how the trading situation develops. The silence of BMW in relation
Despite the executive action on Tuesday, the auto industry is anything but danger. Since the tariffs still strain on imported cars and parts and temporary aid measures that only offer a short postponement, the car manufacturers and consumers are at higher prices and higher volatility over the course of the rest of the rest of the 2025.
