BMW Group U.S. Reports October 2010 Sales
02.11.2010 Press Release
Woodcliff Lake, NJ ? November 2, 2010... The BMW Group in the U.S. (BMW and MINI combined) reported October sales of 23,222 vehicles, an increase of 12.6 percent from the 20,619 vehicles sold in October 2009.

?The new product effect clearly showed in October with our 5 Series sales momentum increasing, especially with the introduction of all-wheel-drive for regions where it is highly desired,? said Jim O?Donnell, President and CEO of BMW of North America, LLC. ?Furthermore, we are seeing some positive response from the overall market but with little job growth and only slight increases in consumer spending, our dealers have to fight for every sale, something they did very well this month.?

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.
