BusinessBMW Q1 Deliveries Slid on China, US Weakness Despite Europe Growth
By Reuters | 14 Apr, 2026
BMW saw a 3.5% drop in global deliveries as demand slid 4.3% and 10% in the US and China, respectively.
BMW reported a 3.5% drop in global deliveries for the first three months of 2026 on Tuesday, as weak demand in China and the U.S. weighed on the German premium carmaker's sales.
The group sold 565,748 vehicles in the quarter. While sales of BMW and MINI brands grew 3% in Europe, it was not enough to offset respective declines of 4.3% and 10% in the United States and China.
BMW became the latest major German carmaker to report falling deliveries in China, joining peers Mercedes, Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen.
