Munich.
The BMW Group saw its most successful August ever with 145,902 vehicles delivered to customers around the world (prev. yr. 139,650 / +4.5%).

“Our worldwide sales continue to grow, with August maintaining the upward trend,” said Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing BMW, in Munich today. “Whilst external factors continue to influence some markets, all three major sales regions are delivering more vehicles than ever before this year and we remain confident that we will hit our target of breaking the 2 million mark in 2014.”

In August, worldwide sales of BMW brand vehicles increased by 6.2%, with a total of 126,152 vehicles delivered to customers (prev. yr. 118,744). Year-to-date sales climbed 9.5%, totaling 1,151,904 units for the first eight months of the year (prev. yr. 1,051,567).

Good for BMW, even though it is only about 2.3% of the total US market.
