Records for BMW but Rolls-Royce marred by China

It’s also been the company’s best first three-quarters, with year-to-date sales up 7.5% (1,644,810).
Rolls-Royce achieved its second-best ever sales performance for the first nine months of the year, despite significant headwinds in the luxury sector in Mainland China. It delivered 2,604 units to customers from January to September (-8.9%). Outside China, sales were in line with expectations.
“Despite ongoing headwinds in certain markets, BMW Group sales continue to grow steadily,” said Ian Robertson, sales director. “We are seeing strong momentum in many European markets, while sales in much of Asia and the NAFTA region are also moving positively."
