BMW, the globes' largest producer of luxury cars, said sales increased fifteen percent to a new record last June as customers bought new versions of the X5 sport-utility vehicle and the Mini. This is great news for Irvine BMW County drivers! BMW said in a statement today. BMW brand sales increased fourteen percent, while Mini sales jumped nineteen percent. Southern California BMW dealers should be stocking up on Minis!

BMW introduced the X5 and Mini at the end of 2006. BMW expects sales to reach a record of at least a million, four hundred thousand, vehicles this year. I'll bet about a "million" of them will be slated for Southern California BMW dealers!
