10/09/2013
Worldwide sales year-to-date also reached a high with 1,246,528 vehicles sold, an increase of 7.7% over the same period in 2012.
Ian Robertson, who is on the board of BMW, said: “For the very first time, we sold over one million BMW brand vehicles in the first eight months of the year. The company is well on course to attain growth in sales for the full year.”
Demand for BMW Group vehicles was particularly high in Asia and the Americas, where the company achieved strong double-digit growth in August.
It is presenting new models including the BMW 4 Series Coupé and the third generation BMW X5 at the Frankfurt Auto Show this week, which it expects will provide “additional momentum” towards the end of the year.
