BERLIN—BMW cut its car division’s 2022 profit margin forecast on Wednesday, the latest automaker to warn of problems from ongoing chip shortages and new supply chain disruptions as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

It now expects an earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margin of 7–9 percent for its car business rather than 8–10 percent, due to the impact of the unfolding Ukraine crisis.
