BMW Group Reports First-Half Sales For 2005
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., July 1 -- The BMW Group (BMW and MINI brands combined) reported year-to-date sales of 144,843 vehicles, a slight increase (0.8 percent) compared to the 143,646 vehicles sold in the first half of 2004. The BMW Group also reported June sales of 26,999 vehicles, a decrease of 3.3 percent from the 27,909 vehicles sold in the same month of 2004.
BMW Brand Reports Sales
BMW of North America, LLC reported a 6.5 percent decrease in June sales of automobiles and Sports Activity Vehicles, to 23,392 vehicles compared to the 25,013 reported in the same month last year. Demand for the all-new 2006 3 Series, which went on sale May 6th, is robust but inventory remains low as the company builds production capacity of its highest-volume model.
Year-to-date, sales of BMW brand vehicles were down slightly (2.4 percent) from last year, for sales of 122,864 vehicles compared to 125,834 vehicles sold in first six months of 2004.
"This year is one of transition for the BMW brand in the U.S., with 60 percent of its products affected. In the past few months, we've introduced all-new 2006 3 Series sedans, just voted "America's Best New Sedan" by readers of AutoWeek. The planned changeover has gone extremely well, and we're delighted with the strong customer demand for the new 3 Series, and the accolades from the automotive press," explained Tom Purves, chairman and CEO of BMW in the U.S.
"Later this year," he continued, "BMW will introduce more 3 Series variants - a new sports wagon and all-wheel-drive models."
The launch of the new 3 Series sedans is the highest-volume introduction, but other important new models have been introduced this past spring - the 2006 5 Series sports wagons and all-wheel-drive models. The new 2006 7 Series also went on sale this past spring, with new engines and fresh design updates.
The new product introductions will continue this fall, with the new 2006 M5 and the 2006 550i sedan, powered by a new V-8 engine.
"We are on track to end the year with another record sales performance," Purves said.
BMW Automobile Sales
BMW's June automobile sales were 17,456 cars, a 1 percent dip versus 17,710 cars sold in the same month a year ago. Year-to-date, sales were down 7 percent, to 90,597 automobiles compared to 97,606 in the same period a year ago.
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Sales
SAV sales were down 19 percent in June for 5,936 vehicles, compared to 7,303 vehicles sold in the same month of 2004. Year-to-date, sales of BMW's two SAV models are up 14 percent, to 32,267 vehicles compared to 28,228 in the same period of 2004.
Certified Pre-owned
BMW also reported its strongest June ever for sales of Certified Pre-owned BMWs. Monthly sales of Certified Pre-owned vehicles were 6,483, up 6 percent over the 6,110 vehicles sold in the same month last year.

Ford Motor Company Reports June 2005 U.S. Sales Increased From Year Ago
* Ford Motor Company's June U.S. sales totaled 289,449, up 1 percent compared with a year ago. * Cars continue upward climb paced by Ford Mustang, Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego. June car sales up 9 percent capping first half sales increase. * Trucks lower but stronger than previous months.
DEARBORN, Mich., July 1 -- Ford Motor Company posted its first monthly sales increase of 2005. In June, U.S. customers purchased or leased 289,449 cars and trucks from Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo dealers, up 1 percent compared with a year ago.
Car sales totaled 100,438, up 9 percent from last June. This was the largest increase in car sales since December 2002. In the first half, sales of passenger cars were up 1 percent.
"We're pleased with the overall result this month," said Steve Lyons, Ford group vice president North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "On the car side, we are benefiting from the new products we introduced late last year. We expect to build on this momentum when the new Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr debut this fall."
Among the products introduced last fall, Ford Mustang continues to post impressive gains despite limited availability. In June, Mustang sales were 14,470, up 80 percent from a year ago. In the first half, Mustang sales totaled 96,011, up 31 percent.
The company's new full-size sedans continued to post strong sales. The Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego combined for 10,823 sales in June with 85 percent delivered to retail customers. The Ford Freestyle crossover utility posted it best sales month so far (6,820) bringing combined sales for all three Chicago products to 17,643. First half sales for these products totaled 96,424.
Among trucks, the company continued to see higher sales among crossover utility vehicles. Combined sales for the Ford Freestyle, Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Volvo's XC70 and XC90 were 28,342, up 31 percent compared with a year ago. Combined sales for traditional sport utility vehicles SUVs were off 3 percent in June.
