BMW Group sales crept up 0.4 percent to 621,300 in April to June, but BMW brand sales were down 2.6 percent to 550,700.

BMW M sales climbed 7.8 percent to 55,400, Mini was up 33.1 percent to 69,200 and Rolls Royce delivered 1,415 cars, 9.4 percent more than in Q2 2024. The black sheep was the Motorrad motorcycle division, whose sales slumped 8 percent to 61,309.
One ray of light for the core BMW brand is the growth in the electrified side of the business. EV sales were up 15.7 percent in the first half of this year (and a less impressive 2.9 percent for Q2), while the figure for combined EV and PHEV deliveries was up 18.5 percent in H1 (and 10.2 percent in Q2).
