Revenue edged up 3.2% to 6.1 billion yuan.

The profit gain was driven by contributions from BMW Brilliance, the joint venture between Brilliance and BMW, which saw car sales up 28.5% to 206,729 units.

However, the joint venture’s profit contribution grew at a slower pace after posting a 60% rise in the first half as a result of increased costs associated with expansion of capacity.

The company is aiming for 30% growth in BMW sales this year and plans to launch two new car models.
