“Despite challenges worldwide, we achieved positive sales results in the US and Europe. The Neue Klasse continues to show strong momentum. With the BMW iX3*, we are on track to reach the next major milestone of 100,000 new orders.”
— Jochen Goller, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands, Sales

Previously from BMW

Earlier this week, the BMW iX3 earned a five-star Euro NCAP rating under stricter 2026 test protocols, reinforcing its safety credentials. MINI also marked 25 years of modern production with a special Oxford Edition Cooper featuring a Union Jack roof.

Background drawn from MotorClaw's earlier coverage of BMW's official releases.

Why this matters

The results show BMW's regional divergence: strong demand in Western markets offsets sharp declines in China. The Neue Klasse electric models, especially the iX3, are gaining traction, signaling that BMW's EV strategy is beginning to pay off in key regions. Buyers in Europe and the US are responding to the new electric lineup, while the Chinese market remains challenging.
