Woodcliff Lake, NJ – October 3, 2017… Sales of BMW brand vehicles increased 0.7 percent in September for a total of 25,571 compared to 25,389 vehicles sold in September 2016. Year-to-date, the BMW brand is down 4.3 percent in the U.S. on sales of 220,175 vehicles compared to 230,133 sold in the first nine months of 2016.

“The hot summer has given way to autumn and an uptick in sales, fueled in part by continued strong demand for the new 5 Series, as well as demand in Texas and Florida where customers are now replacing their flood and hurricane damaged vehicles,” said Bernhard Kuhnt, President and CEO, BMW of North America. “We are also anticipating growth in our Sports Activity Vehicles as expansion at our X model plant in South Carolina means we’ll have more X5’s this month followed by the eagerly awaited introduction of the all-new X3 in November.”

What's up with the neutered sales chart? No breakdown by series this month?

Wondering if the new 7 and 5 series are not picked my up as expected. Or does it mean the economy is going down and we are doomed?

Well a 16.8% decrease in light trucks is never a good feeling when the SUV is dominating US vehicle sales at large. Since the text mentions that the X5 performed well, the X4 and X6 don't sell in big enough numbers to cause such a large decrease to my knowledge, and the X1 is counted as a passenger car, it must mean that the X3 is down sharply. Perhaps it will just take a month or two for the new one to pick up steam. Also, last September's sales probably rose from incentives since it was the final year. Although, in that case, the X5 is probably subject to that same phenomena today since it is now in its final year. X4 too for that matter, for what that's worth.

or there is so much competition out there for vehicles in that size and space for less money that sales are just down. the incoming x3 is priced at what the x5 use to be. why would people spend that when they can get an equally as good if not better grand cherokee or explorer? And it crosses over with entry level Range Rovers now too.

Im curious to see how many of the 4er sales were gran coupes that take away numbers from the 3er

The large decrease in the light trucks segment is caused by X3 model change.

Perhaps. I didn't look at luxury SUV sales in general, but I somewhat doubt they are down anywhere near 16.8% compared to September last year. In fact, if I had to guess, I would bet they are probably up. I could be wrong though.

Yep, although it's been that way for some time. Land Rover created the Range Rover Evoque specifically to compete with the lower end German and Japanese luxury SUVs.

The vast majority of 4 Series sales are the Gran Coupe. Before that model existed, 3 Series Coupe/Convertible sales and, more recently, 4 Series sales never came near 3 Series Sedan(/Touring/GT) sales.

3s Down but 4s up.

Glad the coupe variant is holding its own this day and age.
