August record for BMW

13/09/2011
Automotive group BMW achieved its best-ever August sales result. Cumulatively, worldwide sales crossed the one million mark in August, with a total of 1,073,363 high-end vehicles delivered to customers since the beginning of the year, compared to 919,256 by the end of August 2010. This represents an increase of 16.8% compared to the first eight months of last year.

Commenting on the results, Ian Robertson, member of the board of management responsible for sales and marketing, said: “We achieved record sales once again in August. Models such as the BMW X3, the BMW 5 Series Sedan and the BMW 5 Series Touring continued to report strong gains and made a positive contribution to our record sales performance last month. Looking ahead, we are confident that we are in a good position with balanced growth across the world and a young, attractive portfolio, including the new BMW 1 Series which goes on sale this month. We expect our growth to increase to double-digit figures in September and we are absolutely on track to achieve our goal of over 1.6 million vehicle sales in 2011.”

In Europe, the company??s biggest region, sales for the month of August alone grew 11.4% to 47,009 units. Asia accounted for 29,311 units and climbed 9.2% while sales in the Americas were up 1.5% to reach 29,916 vehicles.
