3-Series sales boost BMW in February, MINI bottleneck lowers deliveries

Sales of BMW's 3-Series helped increase deliveries overall for the BMW Group in February by 13.8-percent to a total of 94,751 vehicles, but the retooling of MINI's plant in Oxford, England cost BMW a loss of about 10-percent in MINI deliveries.

Deliveries of the BMW brand itself went up 18.5-percent thanks to a 53.5=percent increase in 3-Series units, helping the BMW Group solidify its position as a leading supplier of premium automobiles.
