Thus, the share of fully electric BMWs and Minis in the total sales price reached 10 percent. The goal for the current year is a share of 15 percent, says BMW. The orders for the BMW i4, iX, iX1 and i7 e-models are very high, said a spokeswoman. They did not say anything about the orders for the iX3 and the Mini Cooper SE.
A shortage of semiconductors, the corona lockdowns in China and inflation in Europe had slowed down production and demand last year. The core BMW brand sold 2.1 million cars, after 2.2 million in the previous year. “We are very proud that the BMW brand is still number 1 in the global premium segment,” said the group, referring to its Stuttgart competitor Mercedes-Benz, which had been number 1 for several years.
