BMW 3-Series Sales Figures

U.S & Canada Auto Sales for BMW 3-Series

Here you will find monthly and yearly U.S. sales figures for the BMW 3-Series. The BMW 3 Series is an entry-level luxury car manufactured by the German automaker BMW since May 1975. It is an icon. The 3 Series is BMW’s best-selling model, accounting for around 30% of the BMW brand’s annual total sales. The BMW 3 Series has won numerous awards throughout its history, largely due to its balance as an everyday car that has strong performance credentials and luxury to boot. For instance, the 3 Series has been on Car and Driver magazine’s annual Ten Best list 22 times, from 1992 through 2014, making it the longest running entry in the list. As car nuts here at MotoReviewsBlog it helps that the M3 is one of our favorite all time cars. Motorsports magazine named the BMW 3 Series as the second-most important performance car built during the previous 25 years, but has the marquee stumbled more recently as volume has fallen in the last few years.
