BMW smashes another record with September sales figures

09/10/2013
The BMW Group continued its successful course in September with another record month in sales. With about 190,000 BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles delivered worldwide, sales were 6.7% higher than in the same month last year.

 In the first nine months of 2013, sales increased by 7.5% to a record 1.4 million.

Head of sales and marketing Ian Robertson said: “Despite initial signs of stabilisation in the European automobile market, conditions in many countries remain challenging. However, we have been able to keep our European sales on a similar level year on year and once again reported major gains in the US and Asia. We are therefore well on our way to another increase in deliveries for 2013 and a new sales record.”

Year-to-date, the BMW brand has delivered 1.2 million vehicles, an increase of 9% on the same period in 2012.

Sales of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in the first three quarters of the year were up 1% at 2,300 with the group adding “a strong finish to 2013 is anticipated”.
