New first-half record for BMW, despite low Rolls-Royce figures
10/07/2013
Ian Robertson, member of the board of management, sales and marketing BMW, said in Munich on July 8: “Despite the prevailing headwinds in some European markets, we aim to continue our sales growth in the second half of the year with new models such as the BMW 5 Series, which is launched this month, and the third generation of the highly successful BMW X5, which arrives later in the year. Additional new models such as the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo and the BMW 4 Series Coupé will also provide for further impetus.”
Sales of cars under its super-luxury Rolls-Royce Motors brand totalled 1,475 units in the first six months of the year, a decrease on the same period in 2012 of 7.8%. However, Rolls-Royce Motors said it had seen a pick-up in the second quarter owing to good performances in the Middle East, south-east Asia and China.
