BMW Group U.S. Reports September 2013 Sales

October 1, 2013

BMW brand sales up 8.3 percent
MINI brand sales up 8.3 percent, best September ever
BMW Motorcycle sales up 20.9 percent

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – October 1, 2013… The BMW Group in the U.S. (BMW and MINI combined) reported September sales of 28,874 vehicles, an increase of 8.3 percent from the 26,660 vehicles sold in the same month a year ago.

“September was unusual because of significantly fewer selling days than August, so the more than 8% increase for BMW and another record month for MINI are further fueling BMW Group momentum going into the final quarter of the year,” said Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO, BMW of North America. “October means arrival of the new X5, a full month for the new 4 Series, and the full range of new diesel engines in our 3 and 5 Series cars; just a few of the reasons why we are excited about the next three months.”

Interested... Sure didn't feel like it.

Woa, the X3 took a blow and the 7 series killed

Probably production constraints at the plant since they are gearing up for the X4.

Vervain · 10-01-2013, 12:34 PM

^ Ah okay.

On another note, when did the 'thumbs up/down' buttons debut? It's long overdue! So cool!

EmMHoLLa · 10-01-2013, 12:52 PM

With all the complaints you see on the boards.. The bottom line says that we sure do love BMW..

BMW is gotta pick it up
MB is at 215,056, roughly 2,5K ahead on delivered vehicles
Pretty even race so far

Hopefully new X5 and 3/4 series will contribute well

CLA arrived for Merc, or their total sales would have decreased from '12. 4 Series just arriving for BMW, give it a couple months to even out.

+1

C class and ML got killed by 3er and X5. Considering X5 is on it's way out and ML is a brand new design, it can't be good in the long run for MB

The BimmerPost News item title "BMW Brand U.S. Sales Up 8.3 Percent in Best September Ever" is in error. This was not BMW's best September, although it was an excellent month. As shown in paragraph 6, it was the best September for BMW's MINI USA only.

No error. They sold more BMW's than they did in 09/12, which was more than they sold in 09/11, which was more than 09/10, etc. they sold 8.3% more cars than last year. So...best September ever.
