BMW says it has no intention of getting involved in a price war thanks to a solid increase in its global sales for both its combustion-powered models and BEVs. The BMW Group, including the BMW brand itself as well as Mini and Rolls-Royce, delivered 621,699 vehicles in the third quarter of this year. This represents a 5.8% increase from the 587,744 during the same period last year. Sales have also jumped across the entire January – September period, rising 5.
This charge was led by the BMW brand itself which reported a 119.3% rise in deliveries, translating to 13.4% of total sales from January to September.
