An interesting press release came out from BMW this morning that had a few of us scratching our heads.
While other car companies around the world are reporting dire trading conditions BMW M GmbH is reporting sales of 22,340 vehicles worldwide as of November 2008. Whilst the quoted sales volume may not grab your attention, the fact this is 50% greater than last year’s result of 14,092 cars probably will.
BMW cites the new BMW M3 as being a major contributor to this success, which of course is now available in three versions (saloon, coupe and cabriolet) and sold almost twice as well as its E46 predecessor within the same period.
“The fact that our dealers were able to supply significantly more vehicles than the average of the last nine months even in such dramatic times for the world economy demonstrates the fascination and attraction which BMW M automobiles exercise on our customers,” said Ludwig Willisch, President of BMW M GmbH.
