BMW brand sales increased 5.3% year on year in September to 83,950 units but, for the year to end September, sales dipped 3.3% to 678,110 units “for reasons associated with model cycles”, according to BMW.

Michael Ganal, BMW sales and marketing head, said: “The positive sales trend of the third quarter confirms our 2003 estimation that a new sales record is also achievable for the BMW brand.”
