While sales are generally suffering across the board south of the border, BMW managed to sell more than 3,000 vehicles in Canada for the first time ever last month. The German luxury automaker sold 3,003 BMWs in June, a 2 percent increase over the year prior.
Combined with Mini, the BMW Group Canada sold 3,531 cars last month, a drop of slightly less than 1 percent compared to the same period in 2008.
BMW credits an impressive 283 percent increase in demand for the Z4 and an 88 percent increase in demand for the range-topping 7-Series sedan.
Mini sales were down 15 percent in June, however.
