BMW Group stays on track for success in 2022: Maintains No. 1 position in global premium segment, doubles electric sales
Munich. The BMW Group significantly accelerated its ramp-up of electromobility once more in 2022. As previously announced, the BMW Group was able to more than double its BEV sales from 2021 (+107.7%) with a total of 215,755 fully-electric BMW and MINI vehicles delivered to customers. A major milestone was reached when the BMW Group handed over its 500,000th fully-electric vehicle to its new owner towards the end of last year.
The BMW Group delivered a total of 2,399,636 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles to customers worldwide in 2022 (-4.8%); a year in which all industries faced headwinds from supply bottlenecks, China’s pandemic lockdowns and the war in Ukraine. The main impact was felt in the first six months of the year, with deliveries down compared to the previous year. Sales increasingly picked up in the second half of 2022. In the fourth quarter, the BMW Group reported significant sales growth of +10.6%, with 651,798 vehicles delivered to customers.
The BMW brand sold a total of 2,100,692 units (-5.1%) worldwide last year and maintains its No. 1 position in the global premium segment. The BMW brand also saw strong growth in electrified vehicles. Sales of electrified vehicles (incl. plug-in hybrids) for the full year were up +35.6% on the previous year, at 372,956 vehicles.
Despite the challenges of supply bottlenecks, BMW M GmbH ended its anniversary year with a new all-time high. BMW M reported growth of +8.4% compared to the previous year, with the sale of 177,257 units. At the same time, BMW M made substantial progress with electrification of its product portfolio. The launch of the first two fully-electrified BMW M Performance models, the i4 M50* and the iX M60*, the very first electrified high-performance model, the BMW XM*, and the new M240i Coupé* contributed greatly to this successful year-end. The new edition of the BMW M2 and the recently-released BMW M3 Touring also made a major contribution to sales growth last year.
The fully-electric MINI Cooper SE* remained the brand’s best-selling model variant in 2022. A total of 43,744 MINI Cooper SE*s were sold worldwide last year – an increase of +25.5% compared to the previous year.
