Munich. Sales of BMW Group vehicles achieved a new
record for November with total sales of 209,743 units, an increase of
6.2% on the same month last year. This result brings the year-to-date
sales total to 2,152,393, an increase of 5.8% compared with the same
period last year.
“We have achieved yet another month of solid growth across all the
BMW Group’s premium brands,” said Dr Ian Robertson, Member of the BMW
AG Board of Management with responsibility for Sales and Marketing
BMW. “We have grown our sales every month since November 2011 – five
years of continuously increasing sales, in line with the expansion of
our model range. The addition of our electrified vehicles has made a
significant contribution to that growth and that segment is growing
month for month,” he added.
To the end of November, 1,824,490 BMW brand vehicles
were sold around the world, 5.6% more than in the same period last
year. In November, a total of 177,740 BMW brand vehicles were
delivered to customers, an increase of 5.9% year-on-year. The global
trend towards SUVs continues to be reflected in strong sales growth
within the BMW X family. November sales of the BMW X1 are up 74.4%
(22,595) compared with the same month last year, while monthly sales
of the BMW X5 increased by 17.6% (15,143). Sales of BMW X vehicles in
the first eleven months of the year total 579,718, an increase of
22.4% on the same period last year. Meanwhile sales of the BMW 7
Series continue to develop strongly with November sales up 70.3%
(6,883) compared with last year; a total of 54,306 models of the BMW
brand’s luxury flagship vehicle have been sold in the year-to-date (+67.6%)
In the first eleven months of the year, 54,857 electrified BMW
vehicles were delivered to customers worldwide. November was a
particularly strong month for these innovative models with, for
example, more than one in three BMWs sold in the Netherlands having an
electrified drivetrain, while the BMW i3 was Norway’s top-selling car
across all manufacturers and models. “It’s clear that those markets
which actively support electro-mobility are seeing the fastest growth
when it comes to alternative-drive vehicles,” commented Dr Ian
Robertson. “The addition of the BMW 5 Series and MINI Countryman
plug-in hybrid versions in the first half of 2017 is set to increase
sales of BMW Group electrified models significantly next year – we
have set ourselves the ambitious target of 100,000 units,” he continued.
Sales of MINI brand vehicles increased by 7.9% in
November with a total of 31,593 delivered to customers worldwide. In
the year-to-date, a total of 324,417 MINIs were sold, an increase of
7.4% on the previous year. The premium brand’s two most recent models
continue to be the biggest growth drivers. A total of 6,624 customers
took delivery of a MINI Clubman in November, with year-to-date sales
totalling 55,844 units worldwide. November sales of the MINI
Convertible totalled 2,072 with year-to-date sales standing at 27,206.

totalled 95,079 in November, up 10.6% compared with the same month
last year. Year-to-date sales in the region are up 10.0%, with a total
of 992,580 vehicles delivered. All markets in the region have

double-digit increases including the UK (228,698 / +10.4%), Italy

strong growth last month with a total of 69,520 vehicles delivered to
customers in November (+14.8%). In the first eleven months of the
year, a total of 680,540 BMW and MINI vehicles were sold in Asia, an
