BMW Group Reports October Sales


WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The BMW Group in the U.S.
(BMW and MINI brands combined) reported year-to-date sales of 254,297
vehicles, an increase of 1.2 percent above the 251,276 vehicles sold in the
first ten months of 2005. October sales were off 4.6 percent, with the
Group reporting 24,464 vehicles verses the 25,635 reported in 2005.
BMW Brand Sales
BMW brand sales were up 2.2 percent year-to-date, to 220,885 vehicles

BMW brand sales were down 7.2 percent in October for a total of 20,822
vehicles compared to 22,432 reported in the same month a year ago.
Monthly BMW brand sales reflect the dips that occur when high volume
models undergo a structured changeover, with smaller numbers of the
previous model and a gradual increase in availability of the new model. All
BMW 3 series models received new engines this fall and the company also
introduced an all new 3 Series Coupe in September. In addition, BMW's
Sports Activity Vehicles are receiving significant changes. An all-new 2007
X5 Sports Activity Vehicle will be introduced at the end of the month and a
new 2007 X3 SAV is just arriving at dealerships. As a result of these
introductions, inventories of these models have been kept low.
BMW Automobile Sales
Year-to-date, sales of BMW brand automobiles were up 8.9 percent, to
172,991 automobiles over 158,904 in the same period of 2005. Monthly
automobile sales dipped 7.5 percent in October to 17,466 cars versus 18,889
in the same month a year ago.
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Sales
Sales of BMW Sports Activity Vehicles were off 5.3 percent in October,
to 3,356 vehicles over the 3,543 sold in the same month last year.
Year-to-date, sales of BMW Sports Activity Vehicles were down 16.2 percent,
to 47,894 vehicles compared to the 57,159 sold in the same period in 2005.
Certified Pre-Owned
Sales of BMW's Certified Pre-Owned vehicles were down 8.1 percent in
October, with sales of 5,385 CPO vehicles versus 5,861 vehicles reported
last year. Year-to-date, CPO sales were up 13.4 percent, to 69,427 over the
61,241 reported in the same period in 2005.
MINI Brand Sales
MINI Automobiles
MINI USA reported a 13.7 percent jump in October sales, to 3,642 cars
compared to 3,203 cars sold in the same period a year ago. Year-to-date,

compared to the 35,213 cars reported in the first ten months of 2005.

Exactly what I was thinking! After almost 12 months of sales drastically going down Nissan has finally began reselling. Ofcourse this is helped by the launch of all the new products, but I also have a feeling they are heavily discounting their SUVs and Trucks to move them.

Im wondering what the total 2006 MY sales were for the new IS. Looks like the camry and corolla are really racking up sales for toyota. And im suprised Tundra sales continue to increase despite a new model around the corner.

Mazda IMO might just have the best lineup for a non luxury brand and sales are down 21% for cars? The new SUVs are the only thing holding it up.
Same with Acura, the RDX kept sales flat, but cars were down tons.

THe new LS wasn't even out a month and sales are up over 30%..
Lexus=sales champion AGAIN!

apperantly, now old Mazda3, with sales down accross the world, "is in such demand" that there isnt enough production capacity. :-)

Just look at Civic - sales lower than old model... how much sense does that make? Are they trying to say that they lost production in their factories or something?
