“While the general economic situation remains challenging in some markets, we are consistently selling more vehicles than ever before around the world,” said sales and marketing chief Ian Robertson. “Although the rapid normalisation of the Chinese market has created some headwinds there, we are seeing excellent rates of growth in Europe, while many Asian markets and the NAFTA region are also developing very positively. We continue to follow our long-standing policy of balancing sales globally and avoiding dependency on any single market." A new 7 Series and the X1 still are to come this year.
