BMW Sales Statistics and Global Deliveries

BMW Group Automotive delivered 2,450,804 vehicles worldwide in 2024, a 4.0% decline from 2023. The fourth quarter accounted for 696,647 deliveries, down 2.9% from the same quarter of 2023; these are company deliveries rather than registrations or a third-party market estimate. BMW Group sales release

Regional BMW and MINI deliveries varied considerably:

Market or region 2024 deliveries Change from 2023
Europe 947,235 +0.6%
Asia 960,951 -10.2%
China 714,530 -13.4%
Americas 480,994 +0.2%
United States 397,652 +0.5%
Germany 267,285 -5.3%

The regional figures cover BMW and MINI company deliveries. China is reported within Asia, while the United States is reported within the Americas, so these rows should not be added together as separate global regions. BMW Group sales release

BMW Group also described the result in rounded terms as 2.45 million vehicles delivered to customers worldwide in 2024. That statement is a rounded company-wide communication; the detailed automotive table reports 2,450,804 vehicles. Statement of the chairman of the board of management

BMW Brand, MINI, Rolls-Royce and Motorcycle Statistics

The group total combines businesses with very different scales. In 2024, the BMW brand delivered 2,200,177 vehicles worldwide, MINI delivered 244,915, and Rolls-Royce delivered 5,712; the respective year-over-year changes were -2.3%, -17.1% and -5.3%. BMW Group sales release

Business 2024 result Change or qualification
BMW brand 2,200,177 vehicles -2.3% year over year
MINI 244,915 vehicles -17.1% year over year
Rolls-Royce 5,712 vehicles -5.3% year over year
BMW M GmbH 206,582 vehicles +2.1% year over year
BMW Motorrad 210,408 motorcycles +0.6% year over year

BMW M GmbH’s measure is the BMW Group’s reported BMW M delivery measure, while BMW Motorrad is a motorcycle-delivery measure and is not part of the automotive-delivery total. BMW Motorrad described 210,408 bikes as its highest-ever sales result, and the company said more than 68,000 GS models were sold worldwide in 2024; the GS figure is rounded and uses “more than.” BMW Group sales release Statement of the chairman of the board of management

Rolls-Royce’s Goodwood expansion was planned at an investment of more than £300 million. This is a planned future investment stated in the 2024 report, not realized expenditure. Statement of the chairman of the board of management

BMW Electric Vehicle Statistics and Charging Scale

BMW Group delivered 426,594 battery-electric vehicles worldwide in 2024, up 13.5% year over year. All-electric vehicles represented 17.4% of BMW Group automobile deliveries, while electrified deliveries totaled 593,215 when battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are combined.

In Q4 2024, BMW Group delivered 132,542 BEVs worldwide, up 2.9% year over year, and 184,095 electrified vehicles, up 2.0%. “Electrified” means BEV plus PHEV in this sales reporting, whereas BEV means battery-electric vehicles only. BMW Group sales release

The customer-facing digital and charging footprint included more than 2 million charging points worldwide accessible through BMW and MINI Charging Cards in 2024. This is access through a charging-card network, not a count of BMW-owned chargers, and more than 9 million BMW vehicles were capable of remote software upgrades; capability does not mean every vehicle completed an upgrade. BMW Group Report 2024

BMW’s Gen6 battery-cell technology had targets of about 20% higher energy density, up to 30% faster charging and about 30% greater range than the preceding generation. These are engineering targets, not measured fleet outcomes; separately, BMW Group expected to reach its three-millionth electrified vehicle and 1.5-millionth all-electric vehicle milestones during 2025, a forecast made in 2024 rather than an observed 2024 total.

BMW Emissions, Water and Waste Statistics

BMW Group reported 836,963 tonnes of CO2e of Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2024 across operations, compared with 130,297,238 tonnes of CO2e of Scope 3 emissions across the value chain. Scope 3 is therefore a value-chain measure, not an operational-emissions measure, and both figures exclude biogenic CO2 emissions under the report’s definitions. BMW Group Report 2024 — Combined Management Report — Sustainability Statement

Environmental measure 2024 result Definition or boundary
Market-based GHG intensity 933 t CO2e per €1 million revenue BMW Group consolidated
Location-based GHG intensity 941 t CO2e per €1 million revenue BMW Group consolidated
Scope 1 and 2 intensity 0.27 t CO2e per vehicle Production locations
Supply-chain intensity 13.55 t CO2e per vehicle Supply-chain Scope 3
Recycled and reused water 4,778,429 m3 BMW Group operations

Potable-water consumption per automobile produced was 1.67 m3 in 2024, compared with 1.78 m3 in 2023 and 2.00 m3 in 2016. The production metric excludes partner plants and contract manufacturing from the target basis; separately, water consumption at BMW Group sites in water-risk and stress areas was 3,079,270 m3 in 2024. BMW Group Report 2024 — Combined Management Report — Sustainability Statement

BMW Group recycled or thermally recovered 868,084 tonnes of production waste in 2024, out of 872,976 tonnes of total production waste; 4,892 tonnes were sent for disposal. Material recovery represented 91.7% of production waste, thermal recovery 7.7% and disposal 0.6%, with possible rounding differences. BMW Group Report 2024 — Combined Management Report — Sustainability Statement

Waste for disposal per vehicle produced fell to 1.68 kg in 2024 from 2.12 kg in 2023 and 3.51 kg in 2016; the report describes the 2024 year-over-year change as -20.8%. BMW Group’s 2030 targets are a 25% reduction in potable-water use per automobile produced and a 25% reduction in waste for disposal per vehicle produced, both from the 2016 base year; these are targets, not achieved 2030 results.
