Record quarter for BMW, again
06/05/2015
Group revenues rose by 14.7% to €20.9 billion and, across all its brands, BMW sold 526,669 vehicles, an increase in volume of 8.1% and a new record for the period. Of these, more than 450,000 vehicles were BMW, while Mini contributed sales of almost 75,000 and Rolls-Royce 781.
The figure for Rolls-Royce represents a fall of 12.9% compared to the first quarter of 2014, but the group pointed out that the 2014 figure is the only time in the super-luxury automotive brand’s history that first-quarter sales of Rolls-Royce were higher than they were in 2015.
