GR Yaris BBS, Recaro files for bankruptcy

Saw this, hopefully everything can continue with a new owner including the knowhow etc but perhaps worth being extra careful with those OEM wheels.

Hopefully things can return to normal and the legacy is upheld no matter what.

Double Trouble: Recaro and BBS File for Bankruptcy - Hagerty Media

Two beloved automotive suppliers—Recaro and BBS, both based in Germany—have filed for bankruptcy this week.

I believe it is BBS Japan Co. Ltd. who manufacture the GR wheel range which is a separate company to BBS Automotive GmbH which is the one that has become insolvent. Also BBS motorsport I think is another separate entity.

Lol not like BBS already went bankrupt four times in the last 15 years before Northstream got blown up.

Surely the Recaro Automotive bankruptcy got nothing to do with it's sale to US-investors in 2016

Ah thank you for explaining I guess the IP is worth a heck of a lot but that manufacturing will be maintained.

No politics on the forum please gents.

I agree with your intention, however everything about eg the GR is circumscribed by politics eg, the fuel it uses the cats and gpf filters the crash structures. the world we live in is bounded by policies expounded by organisations that are often way beyond any form of democratic control. So while it is possible to debate something within the limits defined, to challenge those limits and their legitimancy is not allowed. There is a reason why Recaro failed. My reply was meant to get people thinking. If thinking is politics and that is not allowed I reckon we are doomed.
