It's May and BMW announced the sales figures for the past month. For the US market, things are looking really good. Total BMW brand sales went up 10.3 percent compared to the same month, last year.
Overall, BMW sold 29,011 vehicles in the US last month, an increase of 8.3 percent over the 26,792 vehicles sold last year. For the first four months, BMW and MINI are up 5.3 percent on sales, adding up to 107,968 units.
BMW vehicle sales increased to a total of 23,225, 2163 more than in April 2012, which translates into a 10.3 percent increase. For the whole year, so far, numbers are up by 6.7 percent (88,127 versus 82,611). The best selling cars were the 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series.
MINI reported a small change in demand and fortunately, it's positive. The total MINI sales for the previous month added up to 5,786 automobiles, a 1 percent increase from the 5,731 units sold in April 2012. Going over the total sales for the first 4 months, MINI sales are up 0.4 percent in the US.
Future months should also be positive, as BMW NA expects sales to further increase in the US.
“The solid April results are a good set-up for the months ahead as BMW transitions to model year 2014 with a range of new models coming to market. Our dealers are reporting a sizeable increase in business and we expect to see even more in May and June,” said Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO, BMW of North America.
