BMW could soon take over from rival Audi as official car partner of German club Bayern Munich, in a deal that would include the automaker purchasing Audi’s 8.3% stake in the club. Bayern reportedly wants to distance itself from Audi's parent company Volkswagen as a result of the 2015 emissions scandal. Audi's deal with the club expires in an additional five years. It has offered to extend the partnership 2025, though Bayern has reportedly turned this down.
