The BMW Group in the UK (BMW and MINI combined) has reported sales of 128,874 vehicles in the first nine months of 2011, an increase of 12.2 per cent from the 114,869 vehicles sold in the same period a year ago in a market which has seen overall sales fall by five per cent.  So far this year BMW Group has sold 8.3 per cent of all new cars in the UK.  September sales for the Group were 6.2 per cent up on the same month last year with 27,874 vehicles delivered to customers.

 

“Our sales performance in the first nine months of the year has continued to outperform the market,” said Tim Abbott, Managing Director of BMW Group UK.  “Much of this growth has come from sales to our corporate customers with particularly strong demand for the fuel and tax efficient BMW 3 and 5 Series models. With X Series models now accounting for over 15 per cent of BMW sales, we have seen particularly high customer demand so far this year for the X1 and X3 ranges. MINI has also performed well with the continued success of the Countryman range and we have already had a positive response to the new MINI Coupé which went on sale last weekend.

 

“However, our dealers are facing some of the most difficult trading conditions since 2008 and, looking ahead to the remainder of the year, consumer demand in the retail sector of the market remains volatile.”

 

BMW Brand Sales

So far this year 90,727 BMW vehicles have been sold, an increase of 10.5 per cent compared to the same period last year.  In September sales of BMW brand vehicles fell by 2.6 per cent with a total of 18,184 vehicles and representing 5.5 per cent of the UK market. The BMW 5 Series range has delivered its best performance since the first nine months of 2008 with a 61.7 per cent increase in sales to 17,067 vehicles compared to the same period last year. Sales of X Series models have also seen a significant increase with deliveries to customers rising by 37.2 per cent year-to-date to 14,007 vehicles.

 

MINI Brand Sales    

MINI reported sales of 38,147 vehicles in the first nine months of 2011compared to 32,820 in the same period last year, an increase of 16.2 per cent.  Year-to-date MINI has a UK market share of 2.4 per cent. In September 9,690 MINIs were delivered to customers, 28.1 per cent up on September 2010.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
