to customers, increase of 7.0% - Robertson: Further growth in 2015
anticipated -Schwarzenbauer: MINI will build on momentum in 2015 |
Following on from a record-breaking 2014, where the BMW Group
delivered more than two million vehicles, 2015 has got off to a good
start with sales up 7.0% compared with the same month last year. A
total of 142,154 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles were delivered
to customers in January, a new high for the month (prev. yr.
132,906).
"This is a positive start, building on the success of last year,"
said Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG
responsible for Sales and Marketing BMW. "Looking ahead, we are
aiming for further growth in 2015, despite still challenging
economic conditions in some markets. There are a number of very
exciting model launches coming up this year and our target is to
increase global sales for a fifth successive year," Robertson added.
BMW sales were higher than any previous January: 124,561 BMW brand
vehicles were delivered to customers, 6.3% up on the same month last
year (117,178). 4,247 customers took delivery of the recently
launched 2 Series Active Tourer and demand for the new BMW 4 Series
vehicles remains strong with a total of 8,537 delivered worldwide.
The success of the BMW X family also continues. A total of 4,555 BMW
X4s were sold in January while the BMW X5 saw significant sales
growth of 40.9% compared with the same month last year (12,035 /
prev. yr. 8,540). Sales of the BMW X6 showed positive growth with
2,889 delivered worldwide, 2.5% up on the previous year (2,819).
In the first month of the year, sales of the innovative BMW i

Overall sales of MINI brand vehicles were also higher than ever

12.0% compared with the same period last year (17,373 / prev. yr.
15.510). "Following on from our core model change last year, MINI is
aiming for sustainable growth in 2015," said Peter Schwarzenbauer,
Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for MINI,
BMW Motorrad and Rolls-Royce. "The strong sales of the new MINI 3
door and 5 door models we saw in the fourth quarter have continued
into the new year and I am confident that these and other new
upcoming models will see MINI building on this momentum throughout
the year," Schwarzenbauer added. Sales of the new MINI 3 door are up
33.6% on the same period last year, totalling 7,502 units (prev. yr.
5,616) and the new MINI 5 door model was delivered to a total of
