The car manufacturer BMW has once again sold more cars in the United States. In the second quarter, sales of BMW brand cars rose by 3.7 percent to 91,327 units, the company in Woodcliff Lake (New Jersey) announced. In the first three months, the number of BMW cars sold climbed by just over 2 percent to just under 84,500. The growth drivers were once again the fully electric cars (“BEV” – “battery electric vehicles”).
BMW sold just over 14,000 BEVs in the United States in the three months to the end of June – that was almost a quarter more than a year ago and almost a third more than in the first quarter.
Sales of the Mini small car brand fell by 22 percent to 5,898 cars. BMW attributed the loss to a model change. BMW is converting Mini into a purely all-electric provider.
