BMW Group U.S. Reports October 2010 Sales
02.11.2010 Press Release
Woodcliff Lake, NJ ? November 2, 2010...

certainly, you can now get a minimually smaller package in the F10 at perhaps 3/4 the price, its definitely canibalizing some 7er sales

While the F10 is fine, it's a pity to see the sales of the 7 Series declining sharply. It would be interesting to see the sales results of the E-Class and the S-Class. And Mercedes-Benz in general.

tachyon usually puts out a monthly thread that includes some of the MB stats, usually on the E-class, but perhaps he can highlight how the S-class is selling in this environment...

Count me out - I'm not getting involved

That said, there's nothing really to add, Rudy, they're pretty solid numbers - better than prior months, let's see if the trend continues.
It would, of course, be remiss of me if I didn't take the opportunity to note that the numbers are still lower than the E-Class which delivered 5568 for the month, and to also provide the S-Class numbers that some posters requested - the S sold 1781 units, a 63% increase over October 2009.
