The BMW Group sold 2.55 million units between the BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands in 2023, of which 376,000 were electric cars and 202,530 units were from the M family. These sales numbers represent a record in its history and BMW assures that The growth of its electric family goes with the forecasts, despite the fact that other brands notice a decrease in interest in this type of mechanics.
Just a few days ago, BMW announced that it would configure its historic plant in Munich for the exclusive production of electric cars starting in 2027, although it is one of the few brands that maintains an inclusive idea with other fuels, betting on investments to maintain and improve the combustion engine and also to start using hydrogen later.
The 2,555,341 Mini, BMW and Rolls-Royce that were sold in 2023 represent an increase of 6.5 percent compared to the 2022 numbers, although the growth in the month of December was 10 percent compared to the same month a year ago. The BMW Group’s electric cars had notable growth last year, as the 367,183 units represent 15 percent of the total and a growth of 74.4 percent compared to 2022.
Record sales also for BMW M, Motorrad and Rolls-Royce
Separating the brands, we find more interesting data, such as that BMW alone delivered 2,253,835 cars in 2023, an increase of 7.3 percent, and that they sold the vast majority of the group’s electric cars, with 330,596 units and an increase of 92.2 percent, which has more merit if you consider that two protagonists such as the iX2 and the i5 were not available during the 12 months of the year.
BMW M delivered 202,530 units, up 14.3% on 2022 to become its best year ever, while Rolls-Royce also broke its own records in 2022 with 6,032 cars. Mini grew only 0.9 percent and its electric vehicles fell 3.5%, although they await the arrival of the new Mini EV and the new generation of the Countryman, among other products that make 2024 an important year for the brand.
Finally,. BMW Motorrad moved 209,257 motorcycles, another record, with an increase of 3.1 percent. Separating the world’s regions, BMW grew slower in Asia than in the United States, although that region remains the most important by volume with 1.07 million units, followed closely with 942,845 in Europe and 395,741 in the Americas.
