BMW is the Best-Selling Luxury Auto Brand of 2012

Jan. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- Surging ahead of competing German carmaking giants, Audi and Daimler, BMW claims the crown as the best-selling luxury car brand in the world. The folks at Motor Werks BMW, a leading BMW dealer in Barrington, Illinois (http://www.motorwerksbmwbarrington.com/dealership/about.htm), are buzzing with this exciting news. At the dealership level they have seen up close and personal how popular these well-crafted and fine-tuned European luxury vehicles really are.

That high-regard has translated into record sales for 2012, 1.84 million to be exact, representing an increase of approximately 176,000 vehicles sold from the previous year. The U.S. and China were the strongest markets, with a combined total of 1.54 million vehicles sold, setting an all-time record.

These figures are based upon sales of BMW’s core brand. Adding in the top-of-the-line Rolls Royce, and the popular Mini models, the results make 2012 the most successful year in the history of the legendary German automaker.

By all indications, BMW seems poised for yet another record-breaking year in 2013.  With the recent announcement that the 3-Series sedan has won the title of Best Executive Car of the Year for 2012, the eighth straight time BMW has been so honored. The 3-Series is also the only car to have been named to Car and Driver’s 10 Best list for 22 years in a row. With all of the accolades and recognition of the brand’s outstanding performance, dependability, and sophisticated design, BMW’s continued success looks to be as close to a sure-thing as it can get.

BMW remains committed to producing a line-up that consists of the best-performing, most distinctively designed, and most fuel efficient vehicles on the market today. Their innovations in high-performance active-hybrid vehicles, their pioneering advanced diesel, and their revolutionary Valvetronic engine technology, place them firmly among the leaders in the automotive industry.  

There’s no better way to learn more about the wide-range of record-setting BMW models than by visiting a premier dealership such as Motor Werks BMW. They are located near the Crabtree Preserve, at 1475 South Barrington Road, in Barrington, IL, only a short drive from Hoffman Estates (http://www.motorwerksbmwbarrington.com/dealership/directi...), Schaumburg, and Chicago.
