FRANKFURT (Reuters) - BMW (>> Bayerische Motoren Werke AG) expects a triple-digit million euro gain from currency and commodities effects this year, Chief Financial Officer Friedrich Eichiner said on a conference call with journalists on Tuesday.

Separately, Chief Executive Harald Krueger said BMW would make a successor vehicle to the Z4 convertible, a car that has been developed together with Toyota (>> Toyota Motor Corp).

BMW earlier reported first-quarter financial results, with operating profit sliding 2.5 percent and slightly missing expectations due to currency headwinds and higher administrative and selling expenses.
