BMW Group Middle East is on course for yet another record sales year in 2006, with BMW Q3 deliveries to customers in the region up by 12 per cent year on year, the company announced yesterday. Despite major political and social problems in the region, retail sales of BMW Group Middle East vehicles were 3606 units in the period July to September 2006, with the new BMW 7 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW X5 and BMW 3 Series driving growth.
Oman is the fastest growing market in the GCC with sales accelerating by 30 per cent, compared to the same period in 2005, followed by Qatar, which is 17 per cent up. Another bright spot was Dubai where sales are also up in the third quarter of this year.
"The Middle East is one of the fastest growing regions in the world for BMW Group, and as usual, BMW Group Middle East has kept its promise with double digit growth over the last year. In fact, we could have achieved even more but the political situation in the region has been a major factor," commented Guenther Seemann, Managing Director, BMW Group Middle East.
