In the first nine months of 2018, BMW sales have mainly been driven by the BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo, the BMW 5 Series and BMW Sports Activity Vehicle (SAVs) range. Led by the BMW X1, the BMW X3 and the BMW X5, BMW’s SAV range has contributed to nearly 50% in overall BMW sales.
 
MINI has experienced unpreceded growth thanks to the fresh portfolio it offers in the small premium car segment. The new MINI Hatch and the new MINI Convertible have added a new flair to the iconic brand. Introduction of the all-new MINI Countryman, now being locally-assembled in India, has also made a remarkable contribution to growth.
 
BMW Motorrad India crossed 1000 units sales with the launch of the much-anticipated BMW G 310 R and BMW G 310 GS in the Indian market in the third quarter.
 
Innovative and flexible financial solutions introduced by BMW India Financial Services have played an important role in converting new sales by easing the cost of ownership for the customers.
