A total of 1,190,796 units – previous year 1,054,841 – vehicles have been delivered to customers since the start of the year – an increase of 12.9% compared with the first ten months of the previous year.
“Our new models, like the BMW X1, the BMW 5 Series Sedan, the BMW 5 Series Touring and the Mini Countryman, continued to report strong gains in October and made a positive contribution to our sales performance,” said Ian Robertson, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Sales and Marketing.
“New orders have been strong for all of these models, and based on the steady recovery of many markets, we continue to expect double-digit sales growth through the end of the year.”
The BMW brand sold 107,789 – previous year 95,867 – vehicles in October and grew at a rate of 12.4% year-on-year.
More than one million BMW vehicles have been delivered to customers since January 2010. October sales were largely driven by the continued strong growth in sales of the 5 Series (+54.8% to 23,810 units compared to October 2009); the 5 Series GT (2,480 units); and the new X1, which was delivered to 10,162 customers last month.
