BMW sees 2014 pretax profit up by single to double digit pct


    MUNICH (Reuters) - BMW Chief Financial Officer Friedrich Eichiner said the company's forecast for a significant rise in 2014 pretax profit meant an increase somewhere between a single and double digit percentage.

    "Significant means somewhere in the range of a high single-digit amount and a double-digit amount," Eichiner told journalists on Wednesday when asked to provide a more specific outlook.

    In 2013, BMW (BMW.XE)posted a pretax profit of 7.91 billion euros ($11.01 billion).

    ($1 = 0.7188 Euros)
