The first seven months of this year, in which 1,191,547 vehicles were sold (+4.5 percent), were the most successful ever for the brand. A wide range of models from across the portfolio contributed to this increase: The BMW X family remains a key growth driver in this regard, with sales jumping by 15.4 percent - despite the current model changeover for the X3.

The new Countryman proved to be the main growth driver, with a 33.5 percent increase in sales in July.
