BMW CEO Oliver Zipse said Wednesday he is weighing alternatives for the company’s mobility services joint venture with Daimler AG, including bringing in new partners or possibly a partial sale.

BMW wants to keep participating in the mobility services market “whether we bring in new partners or whether we sell it,” Zipse informed a videoconference of reporters.

“This is a very dynamic environment,” he said. “You will see where we make one or the other move.”

The future of Free Now, the BMW-Daimler venture that consists of car-sharing, ride hailing and other services, has been not certain. Last month, Germany’s Manager Magazin reported Uber Technologies had offered 1 billion euros ($1.18 billion) for the venture.
