Audi's A3 compact and the Mercedes-Benz flagship S-class model helped the two German automakers narrow the sales gap with global luxury-car leader BMW in the first half.

Six-month auto sales by BMW's namesake brand exceeded Audi's deliveries by 16,997 vehicles compared with a difference of 23,760 a year earlier, according to figures released by the manufacturers this week. BMW's lead against Mercedes shrank 6 percent to 102,827 cars.

All three automakers posted record deliveries for the period. BMW sold 886,347, a rise of 10 percent to retain the sales lead, with deliveries lifted by a 36 percent jump in demand for the X5 SUV and 18 percent for the coupe-like X6 SUV. June sales rose 7 percent to 164,214.

Mercedes is still no where close lol. A 100K unit gap is going to take another year or two erase if at all possible.
