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

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

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.

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 |

| 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.
