VENTES BMW GROUP MONDE

 

Munich. The BMW Group has sold more
vehicles than ever before in the first five months of the year: more
than a million customers worldwide have already taken delivery of
their new BMW, MINI or Rolls-Royce vehicle in 2018 (1,003,573 /
+1.6%). This record result was achieved despite the ongoing global
ramp-up of BMW X3 production and volatility in China due to changes in
import duties. These factors contributed to a slight decrease in the
company’s monthly sales in May (204,041 / -2.1%).

 

“To have sold over a million cars by this point in the year is a real
milestone,” said Pieter Nota, BMW AG Management Board
member responsible for Sales and Brand BMW. “We’re particularly
pleased to see that our X vehicles are more popular with our customers
than ever, with record sales figures despite the lack of X3
availability in China. In the second half of the year, the X3 will
once again become fully available worldwide, bringing increased sales
momentum in the third and fourth quarters. Meanwhile, sales of our
electrified vehicles are growing really strongly, with customer
deliveries up by over 40%,” Nota continued.

 

Five years after its initial launch, customer demand for the BMW i
models continues to grow at such a rate that production in Plant
Leipzig will be increased by over 50% this autumn, to 200 cars a day.
In the first five months of the year, sales of BMW i, BMW iPerformance
and MINI Electric vehicles jumped 41.0% to total 46,849. The growing
trend towards electrification continues globally,
with several significant markets reporting especially strong
development. For example, electrified vehicles accounted for nearly 7%
of all BMW and MINI models sold in the USA in the first five months of
the year (9,762 / +61.0%) and more than 7% of BMW and MINI sales in
the UK (6,555 / +34.2%). In some markets, electrified vehicles already
account for more than half of all BMW and MINI sales. Examples here
are Norway (4,125 / +5.8%) and Malaysia (2,313 / +37.9%). The BMW
Group remains well on target to achieve its stated aim of selling over
140,000 electrified vehicles in 2018.

 

Sales of BMW X vehicles in the first five months of the year totalled
303,202 units (+3.4%) and accounted for 35.3% of all
BMW brand sales. The brand has delivered 858,675
(+1.6%) vehicles to customers this year, with models such as the BMW 1
Series (82,828 / +11.6%) and the BMW 5 Series (156,105 / +12.5%)
contributing to that growth.

In the first five months of the year, global MINI
brand sales increased by 1.2% (143,472). Meanwhile sales at
BMW Motorrad in the first five months of the year
totalled 70,007 / ‑1.6%. This year, BMW Motorrad is introducing nine
new models and the related adjustments in production are affecting
deliveries. Nonetheless, BMW Motorrad continues to strive for sales
growth in 2018.

 

The changeover of all relevant BMW Group vehicles to the new European
WLTP and RDE testing standards is proceeding according to plan, thanks
to a timely focus on the issue.

 

BMW & MINI sales in the regions/markets at a glance

While sales in the Americas achieved good growth in the year-to-date
and in May, several other markets are more volatile. The ongoing
headwinds in the UK market continue to affect sales there and the
upcoming change in import duties in China has led to some short-term
uncertainty due to the expected impact on pricing in that market
overall. Meanwhile in Germany, several bank holidays in May meant
there were two working days fewer than in the same month last year.
