BMW passes one million vehicle sales for the year

14/06/2018
Automotive group BMW has revealed it has sold more vehicles than ever before in the first five months of the year.

Across all its brands, the total number of units sold was 1,003,573, an increase of 1.6% compared to the same period of 2017. 

The company said this strong performance came despite “volatility” in China due to changes in import duties and a lack of availability of the BMW X3 in the country as it seeks to ramp-up production of this model. 

The group’s sales in May were down 2.1% year on year to 204,041 units. 

Another strong performer for BMW was its electrified vehicles, which saw a 41% increase in sales during the first five months of 2018.
