Individual segments were mainly positive with new passenger vehicles sales jumping by 4.3% from 30 785 to 32 108, while light commercial vehicles went the opposite way for the second month in a row, sliding by 2.3% from 13 769 to 13 458 units.

Gains were however made in the sales of medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, with the former going up by 15.9% to 1 614 units, and the latter by 6.7% to 102 units sold. Exports remained flat though with a decrease of 19.2% from 34 720 to 28 063 units.

After a number of months posting individual models’ sales figures, BMW South Africa has once again opted to report an aggregated total only, having previously remarked that it would release separate figures only if rival Mercedes-Benz would do the same. The three-pointed star has since 2015 only released a combined unit sales figure.

Note: Starting from July, the monthly top 50 best sellers will become the top 100, while the top 10 best performing manufactures’ ranking will be kept as is.
