The European crisis might be putting a damper on luxury vehicles sales, but BMW looks to be at its strongest, with all-new 3-Series and 1-Series having been launched. These two models account for a good portion of their figures, so it’s understandable that they should feel optimistic.
The company has seen an 8% increase in demand over the first six months of 2012, spurred by China and the US.
Us sales were up 10.5% to 158,563 in the fist six months, backed mainly by the new F30 3-Series. Meanwhile China demand grew 30.7 percent in the first half of the year.
If things continue on this pats, BMW is set to best the 2011 record year. "We have an overall record for 2012 well in our sight,'' Ian Robertson, BMW's sales and marketing chief, said in a statement on Friday, according to Autonews Europe.
