How are you defining size? Looking at the worldwide sales numbers from 2011, BMW was the biggest:
BMW Group - 1.67M BMW, Mini and Rolls Royce vehicles
Mercedes-Benz - 1,362,908 MB, smart and Maybach vehicles.
Audi - 1,302,659 vehicles (could argue Bentley should be included, but would not affect order)
(BMW was also the top luxury brand in the US, barely edging out MB. The earthquake/tsunami troubles knocked Lexus off the #1 spot for the first time in 11 years).
