526,669 Balanced growth in all sales regions globally Strong sales

Deliveries of BMW Group vehicles in March reached a new high
contributing to the company's best ever first quarter sales figures.
Around the world, a total of 232,556 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce
vehicles were sold in March, up 9.2% on the previous year. In the
first three months of 2015, the BMW Group achieved a sales increase
of 8.1% with 526,669 vehicles delivered to customers. |
"This has been our strongest ever first quarter and we have achieved
sales growth in all regions globally" commented Ian Robertson,
Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing
BMW. "It's particularly pleasing to see the recovery in Europe
continuing while sales in North America remain strong. With the
momentum provided by the range of new products we are bringing out
this year, I am confident we will achieve our target of delivering
more vehicles to customers this year than ever before," Robertson
added.
A total of 195,593 BMW brand vehicles were delivered to customers in
March, a new high for the month (+5.1%). It's also been the best
ever first quarter for the brand with a total of 451,576 vehicles
sold around the world, an increase of 5.4% on the same period last
year. The new BMW 2 Series continues to be in high demand with a
total of 14,696 sold in March. Around two thirds of those sales were
achieved by the new 2 Series Active Tourer, with a total of 9,790
units delivered to customers. Sales of the BMW 4 Series remained
strong with 18,373 delivered in March. The ever-popular BMW 5 Series
maintained its strong sales figures with a total of 36,028 sold in
March, an increase of 0.3%. Meanwhile the great sales success of the
segment-founding BMW X family continues with deliveries of the
third-generation BMW X5 up 12.1% to 15,289, while sales of the BMW
X6 climbed 5.4% to total 3,880.
Over 2,600 innovative electric BMW i vehicles were sold in March.
Sales of the BMW i3 were higher than in any previous month, with a
total of 2,067 delivered to customers, and demand for the BMW i8 -
the newly crowned World Green Car of the Year - remains very strong.
Sales of MINI brand vehicles saw a significant increase compared to
March last year, when sales were affected by the core model
changeover. "MINI has achieved its best ever first quarter," said
Peter Schwarzenbauer, Member of the Board of Management BMW AG,
MINI, BMW Motorrad, Rolls-Royce. "Our new 3 and 5 door models are
now fully available and we're seeing just how popular they are in
the markets." In March 2015, MINI deliveries rose 38.9% to total
36,635 with sales in the first three months of the year climbing to
74,312, an increase of 28.4% on the same period last year. The new
generation 3 door MINI was delivered to a total of 13,890 customers
in March, up 79.7% on the same month last year, while monthly sales
of the brand new 5 door MINI totalled 9,688.
Compared to the same quarter last year, which was particularly
strong for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars due to the popularity of the newly
introduced Wraith model, sales figures for the Goodwood-based brand
in the first three months of 2015 were modest but in line with
expectations and within the company's planning cycle. Difficult
luxury market conditions in China added to first quarter challenges.
Rolls-Royce has delivered 781 cars to customers so far this year
(-12.9%).
In line with the corporate strategy of globally balanced growth, all
BMW Group sales regions saw customer deliveries increase both in
March and in the first quarter.
In Europe, deliveries of BMW and MINI models rose by 11.8% in March,
with 114,290 vehicles sold. The first quarter also saw a solid
increase in sales with deliveries up 9.6% to 234,658. Almost all
European markets increased sales year-on-year with March once again
seeing double-digit growth in many countries. Deliveries of BMW and
MINI models in Great Britain - the BMW Group's fourth biggest market
- totalled 37,872, a significant 19.9% increase on the same month
last year. Similarly strong growth of 20.0% was achieved in France,
where 8,056 MINI and BMW vehicles were delivered to customers.
The strong start to the year seen in the Americas continued in March
with BMW and MINI sales increasing by 9.8% to total 47,362. The
first quarter was strong with 109,510 vehicles delivered in total,
an increase of 9.9% compared with the same period last year. North
America continues to be the region's biggest growth driver with
March sales of BMW and MINI vehicles totalling 40,139 in the USA
(+12.2%) and deliveries in Canada increasing by 2.2% to total 3,125.
Asia also saw steady growth in March with deliveries in the region
totalling 64,988, an increase of 4.8% compared with the same month
last year. Sales also rose in the first quarter as a whole with
