BMW employees have been called for overtime recently and it can be expressed in February sales of the Greer-produced X models.
Collectively, the BMW X models had a very strong month of sales led by the X3 (3,281 vehicles) and X5 (4,006).
The X1 produced elsewhere (2,857 vehicles), and sales of the BMW 5 Series (3,185 vehicles) were also up 16.6 percent, marking an eighth straight month of growth.
Sales of BMW brand vehicles increased 4.2 percent in February 2018 for a total of 23,508 compared to 22,558 vehicles sold in February 2017.
“There’s nothing like solid February numbers to warm a winter day, and the BMW momentum of the last several months continues and will increase as highly anticipated new models come to market,” said Bernhard Kuhnt, President and CEO, BMW of North America.
“This month we welcome the all-new BMW X2 to our model line-up; the new X4 is also in the pipeline; and availability of the X3 continues increasing. Couple all that with the positive numbers from MINI, and BMW Group has a lot to look forward to this year.”
