“Despite ongoing headwinds in certain markets, BMW Group sales continue to grow steadily,” said Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing BMW. “We are seeing strong momentum in many European markets, while sales in much of Asia and the NAFTA region are also moving positively. Going into the fourth quarter, the new BMW 7 Series and X1 are coming onto the market at the end of October and expanded production capacity in Spartanburg (USA) means we can get closer to reaching the very high demand for our larger BMW X vehicles, so we’re on track for another record sales result in 2015,” he continued.
