BMW AG is starting to run roughshod over rival Daimler AG in the U.S., with the new X7 sport utility vehicle helping the German automaker pull further ahead on the sales charts.
BMW deliveries rose 1.4 percent in April, aided by the behemoth SUV’s second full month of sales. Through the first four months of the year, the brand has sold 3,584 more luxury vehicles than Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz, whose deliveries slumped 16 percent last month.
