I am preparing the report- just wait my friend....

I knew BMW sales would turn around once the 1-Series and X6 arrived. Their numbers will only go up from here on compared to the first 3 months of this year. I really hope BMW beats Lexus by year end. Would be a stunning achievement.

Core-brand match up

Decided to post the key competitors, let me know what you guys think.

 

[chonkoa]

Entry Level

Interesting to note how various manufacturers stack against each other in the respective segments.
The 3 series seems to be doing extremely well.

 

[chonkoa]

Mid Level Match Up

The 5 series seems to the dominating car in this segment.

 

[chonkoa]

Flagship Match Up

Lexus is the clear leader, the Germans are lagging behind.

Mid Size SUV Match Up

 

[Merc1]

It seems the U.S. is caught up in Smart hysteria. They'd better improve this car every year and keep coming up with fresh derivatives to keep interest up.

the interesting is that months before the introduction of a new model the 7er is still matching the S, i am sure huge incentives are at the root of this
interesting how the comming of summer boosted 6er sales
where are Z4 numbers?

 

[Tarek]

Mid Level Match Up

The 5 series seems to the dominating car in this segment.

E-class u mean

By the Numbers: April 2008 - Autoblog


*All percentages are reported as the change in Daily Sales Rate because there were 26 selling days in April 2008 versus 24 in April 2007. Comparing the raw number of vehicles sold both months would not be accurate because of this discrepancy in selling days, so we report the change in the average number of vehicles sold per day.
