The race between Mercedes and BMW for U.S. monthly sales is usually close. Not so in January. Mercedes sold 26,563 cars and light trucks, up 1.7% year over year. BWM sales reached 18,082, down 4.7%.
Most of the BMW car family posted sharp drops in January. 3 Series sales dropped 30.6% to 3,247 and 4 Series sales by 29.9% to 1,832. The two models are among BMW’s least expensive and provide an entry point for new buyers. The more upscale 5 Series sales rose 13% to 3,795. BMW also had trouble among its sport utility vehicle (SUV) line. Sales of its best-selling X5 dropped 19.6% to 2,584.
