"In March, BMW said it expected profits to maybe halve in 2020, as the impact of the coronavirus hits sales, economies and consumer confidence, with the automotive EBIT profit dropping to between 2% and 4%."

"The highest negative impact is expected in the second quarter of 2020".

In the view of 50% reduction in 2020 profits, it's unlikely BMW will reinstate ED program any time soon.
Thank you for sharing this, very good point!
