Bayerische Motoren Werke AG widened its lead in luxury-car sales last month as demand for the X1 compact sport-utility vehicle and 3-Series sedan and wagon helped it outpace gains by Audi and Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz.
BMW-brand deliveries increased 26 percent to 145,452 cars and SUVs in November, the Munich-based manufacturer said today in a statement. That compares with growth of 11 percent to 123,600 deliveries at Volkswagen AG’s Audi and 5.7 percent to 120,346 vehicles at Mercedes.
