1 Answers
The parts-to-whole ratio of the BMW 3 Series GT is 25%. Definition of parts-to-whole ratio: The parts-to-whole ratio coefficient is the ratio of the sum of the prices of all parts of a car to the sales price of the whole vehicle. The higher this coefficient, the more expensive the parts of the car are. However, some car manufacturers, in order to "mislead" consumers, only reduce the prices of high-value, low-loss-frequency parts but do not lower the prices of commonly used parts. Although the parts-to-whole ratio coefficient decreases, the actual maintenance costs for consumers do not significantly drop. Therefore, the "common parts burden index" was officially introduced. It refers to the sum of the prices of 18 individual common parts multiplied by their loss rates, divided by the sales price of the whole vehicle. Calculation method of parts-to-whole ratio: The higher the index, the more expensive the common parts are. Of course, if only calculating the parts-to-whole ratio of a single common part, simply divide the price of the single part by the sales price of the whole vehicle. From the overall data, the average parts-to-whole ratio coefficient of the 100 models released this time is 350.93%, an increase of 13.96 percentage points compared to 2019; the average common parts index is 17.31, an increase of 1.15. Over the past two years, the average prices of parts and common parts of these mainstream products have shown an upward trend.
