Best August yet propels BMW towards 2 million target
The BMW Group saw its most successful August to date with 145,902 vehicles delivered to customers around the world, 4.5% higher than in August 2013.

Sales for the first eight months of the year were also higher than in any previous year with a total of 1,330,077 BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles sold, an increase of 6.7% over the same period in 2013.

Ian Robertson, a board member for sales and marketing, said: “While external factors continue to influence some markets, all three major sales regions are delivering more vehicles than ever before this year and we remain confident that we will hit our target of breaking the 2 million mark in 2014.”

In August, worldwide sales of BMW brand vehicles increased by 6.2%, with 126,152 vehicles delivered to customers. Year-to-date sales climbed 9.5%, totalling 1,151,904 units.
