The BMW core brand has published sales results for the first quarter of the year when it delivered 519,796. It represents a significant decrease of 7.3% compared to Q1 2021, but understandable given the problematic situation with supply shortages. One particular highlight between January and March was the 4 Series of which sales almost doubled year-on-year, reaching 27,704 units.<\/p>\n

Although BMW was down, the M division had a great first quarter as sales rose by 3.1% to 39,055 vehicles. It\u2019s worth noting the German luxury brand also takes into account sales of M Performance cars, so not just the full-fat M models. Case in point, the company is happy to report the M240i xDrive<\/a> built in Mexico is off to a strong start. In addition, the M3 and M4 continue to \u201cenjoy great popularity.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMW wishes to remind us 2022 marks the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of the M branch. The milestone will be celebrated with a cornucopia of products, kicking things off with the M4 CSL next month. We\u2019re finally going to see an M3 Touring<\/a> before the end of the year. In addition, the wild Concept XM will enter production as a plug-in hybrid SUV with well over 700 horsepower.<\/p>\n

On the BMW Motorrad<\/a> side, shipments to customers went up by an impressive 11.3% in Q1 2022 to reach 47,403 units. Consequently, the motorcycle division had its best first-quarter results in history.<\/p>\n

The announcement about how it fared globally between January and March comes less than a week after BMW USA posted its own results. In the first quarter of the year, deliveries went up by 3.2%, totaling 73,714 vehicles<\/a>. The SUVs were the driving force considering the X3 through X7 models represented 57% of the total volume. Demand for regular cars decreased by 10.9% to 35,262 units whereas the SUV generated 42,281 sales.<\/p>\n

2022 is an important year for BMW taking into account the 7 Series G70<\/a> will be unveiled on April 20. It\u2019s getting new gasoline and diesel engines, plus a purely electric i7 variant.<\/p>\n
