BMW AG (BMW.XE) on Wednesday reported a jump in third-quarter

measures are bearing fruit.
Earnings before interest and taxes rose 33% to 2.29 billion
euros ($2.54 billion), while revenue rose 7.9% to EUR26.67 billion,
the German luxury car maker said.
"The efficiency-boosting measures we have implemented are

considering challenging conditions in the auto sector, he
added.

earlier.
In the automotive segment, BMW's closely watched EBIT margin
rose to 6.6% in the quarter from 4.4% a year ago.
