BMW NA Sales Up 13% for July

Big month for BMW as it gears up for its now annual show-down with Mercedes in the US sales race. Notes of interest: The 1 Series is up a staggering 60% this month over last year. Also showing well are the 3 Series and Z4. Interestingly the X1 (classified not as a light truck mind you) is outselling the X3 and isn't far off the X5. Interesting considering that BMWNA had thought about not bringing it to the US market. Not surprising to us. In our recent time with the crossover we were blown away by the value prop and overall performance. Now, onto the numbers...

BMW Motorrad Sales up 11.5% Worldwide. Best Sales Month Ever.

BMW Motorrad continues to enjoy a successful 2013, with April sales not just up, but totaling the best sales month in the division\'s 90 year history. BMW is reaping the rewards of a diverse lineup, competitive pricing and technological leadership — particularly in Latin America, Asia and Russian markets. Yet overall, Germany remains BMW\'s largest motorcycle buying market. Sales leaders include the all-new R 1200 GS and the venerable HP4 variant of the S 1000 RR.
