The balance sheet total of the BMW Group increased
by euro 5,940 million or 9.7% to euro 67,415 million.
The main factors behind this increase on the assets
side of the balance sheet were the increased level of
receivables from sales financing (+14.1%), property,
plant and equipment (+10.5%), leased products
(+12.0%), inventories (+13.6%) and intangible assets
(+17.4%). On the equity and liabilities side of the
balance sheet, the main changes occurred in equity
(+8.5%), debt (+11.1%) and deferred income
(+86.1%). Currency factors, mainly in connection
with the low exchange rate of the US dollar reduced
the balance sheet total by euro1,322 million.Adjusted
for changes in exchange rates, the balance sheet
total would have risen by 12.1%.
Intangible assets increased by 17.4% to euro
3,758 million. Within intangible assets, capitalised
development costs increased by 16.1% to euro
3,495 million. Development costs recognised as
assets during the financial year 2004 amounted to
euro1,121 million (+12.6 %), equivalent to a capitali-
sation ratio of 39.8 % (2003: 38.9%). Depreciation
and disposals amounted to euro 637 million (+9.3%).
The total carrying amount of property, plant and
equipment increased by 10.5% to euro 10,724 mil-
lion. The bulk of capital expenditure related to new
construction for and expansion of production plants.

plant and equipment (–2.3%). Total depreciation
