Richmond Hill, ON. BMW Group Canada announced today Q2 2020 sales results for the BMW and MINI brands. Total Group sales for the quarter were 6,901 units, a 45.9% decrease from the second quarter of 2019. For the first-half sales period ending June 30, BMW Group sales totaled 12,907 vehicles, a decrease of 39.7% versus the 21,422 vehicles sold in the same period last year.
“On behalf of the entire team at BMW Group Canada, I am extremely proud of how well our retail partners have, and are, handling these complex operating conditions,” commented Reiner Braun, President and CEO of BMW Group Canada. “The company acted rapidly and decisively in response to COVID-19 to support retailers navigating through this difficult time, and to address our customers’ mobility needs and safety. Innovative programs such as contactless servicing and digital shopping solutions ranging from virtual product presentations to chat-now functions on our websites were implemented swiftly. It is easy to understand how business performance has been impacted over the past three months, however, I’m very encouraged to see how the hard work and commitment of our associates and retail partners have translated into a positive sales trend and growth over the last three months. With exciting new products such as the 2 Series Gran Coupe and the recently launched all-electric MINI, I’m confident the positive results our retailers are delivering will only continue,” concluded Mr. Braun.
