Munich – The BMW Group closed 2025 with a solid performance, highlighting growing global demand for electrified vehicles. The company delivered a total of 2,463,715 vehicles, marking a modest 0.5% increase compared to the previous year. This growth was driven in particular by electrified models, which saw deliveries rise 8.3% year-on-year to 642,087 units, including 442,072 fully-electric vehicles (BEVs). Europe proved to be a particularly strong market, with fully-electric vehicle sales surging 28.2%, reinforcing BMW’s leadership in the premium electrified segment.

Electrification Momentum

Electrified vehicles now account for 26% of BMW Group’s total sales worldwide, with fully-electric models representing around 18%. “In 2025, in a challenging environment, the BMW Group sold more vehicles than in the previous year. Our electrified vehicles were in particularly high demand. Europe reported especially strong growth, with battery-electric vehicles accounting for about a quarter of total sales,” said Jochen Goller, Board Member of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands, and Sales.

BMW’s technology-neutral strategy and broad multi-brand portfolio continue to resonate with customers, enabling growth even as demand in China remains subdued. Looking ahead, BMW is on track to meet EU CO₂ fleet targets for 2025 and will introduce more than 40 new and revised models with various drive options by 2027, including updates to the BMW X5, 3 Series, and 7 Series.

  • MINI: Achieved a strong year with 288,290 deliveries (+17.7%). The brand celebrated a milestone, delivering its 100,000th fully-electric MINI, meaning over one in three MINIs sold in 2025 were fully electric.
  • Rolls-Royce: Delivered 5,664 units (-0.8%), maintaining its ultra-luxury market presence.
  • BMW Motorrad: Sold 202,563 motorcycles and scooters, down 3.7%, reflecting broader market trends.

Regional Performance

  • Americas: BMW saw growth of 5.7%, with the US contributing 417,638 vehicles (+5.0%).
  • Asia: Sales fell 9.3%, largely driven by a 12.5% decline in China, offset by stronger performance in other regional markets.

Looking Forward

With electrified vehicles capturing an increasing share of the market and a robust pipeline of new models, BMW continues to strengthen its position as a global leader in innovative, technology-driven automotive solutions.

With sustainability at the core of its strategy—from supply chain management to end-of-life vehicle solutions—the BMW Group is not just expanding its portfolio but also shaping the future of premium mobility responsibly.
