Precisely 2,169,739 cars were delivered in 2025, a minor 1.4% drop compared to the year before. Some model series were up while others were down. Additionally, there are also a few cars in the mix that won\u2019t appear in next year\u2019s results.<\/p>\n<p>BMW still doesn\u2019t provide a true sales breakdown for each series, as most models are lumped together. The 1 Series is grouped with the 2 Series, the X1 with the X2, and so on. Nevertheless, the data still offers a good idea of what worked, and what didn\u2019t, in 2025 across the company\u2019s vast lineup.<\/p>\n<p>Despite showing their age and suffering a sales slump, the 3 Series and 4 Series still finished on top. Combined shipments fell by 8.1% to 477,180 units, representing 22% of total sales. BMW\u2019s cheapest crossovers came in a close second, with the X1 and X2 rising by 5.7% to 436,769 units. The entry-level X models accounted for 20.1% of total volume.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BMW-sales-2025-model-breakdown.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-511460\" title=\"BMW SALES 2025 MODEL BREAKDOWN\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BMW-sales-2025-model-breakdown-830x415.jpg\" alt=\"BMW SALES 2025 MODEL BREAKDOWN\" width=\"830\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BMW-sales-2025-model-breakdown-830x415.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BMW-sales-2025-model-breakdown-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BMW-sales-2025-model-breakdown.jpg 1133w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The X3\/X4 duo claimed the final spot on the podium with 321,186 units, a significant 13.2% year-over-year drop. We imagine the X3 accounted for the bulk of those deliveries since BMW wound down production of the X4 last year. The final vehicle was assembled at Plant Spartanburg in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/01\/14\/bmw-x4-production-has-ended-official\/\">November 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although the 5 Series\/6 Series didn\u2019t make the top three, demand surged by a massive 19.5% to just under 300,000 vehicles. Most of those were 5 Series models, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/03\/20\/bmw-6-series-gran-turismo-m-sport-signature\/\">6 Series Gran Turismo<\/a> had already been discontinued in most markets by 2025. The 1 Series\/2 Series also enjoyed a strong year, with demand climbing 8% to 214,175 vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>An honorable mention goes to the Z4. Although sales fell by 7% to 9,744 roadsters, it was still a respectable performance for the car\u2019s final full year. The 8 Series will also bow out in 2026, and, speaking of discontinued products, the i3 and i8 still appear on the sales chart. The long-gone hatchback and the coupe\/roadster together racked up 11 sales.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2026\/01\/14\/2026-bmw-xm-price-cut-charging-updates\/\">XM<\/a> continued its decline, with shipments of BMW\u2019s most controversial model falling by 2.6% to 7,608 units.
