Motorists with BMW nearly new cars may be interested to hear that the group's successful 2011 sales have continued in April, with an increase of 17.9 percent.

The group has reported sales of 137,183 BMW, Rolls Royce and MINI vehicles last month, and in total this year sales of 519,944 vehicles – a new sales record for BMW.

The total for 2011 is an increase of over 20 percent from sales in 2010, which were 432,016.

Ian Robertson, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for sales and marketing, said: "We continued our balanced growth worldwide with an increase in sales across almost all regions and markets.

"We are on our way to achieve a 2011 sales volume of well over 1.5 million units, a new all-time high, with the BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brands all achieving new sales volume records," he added.

Another company to enjoy successful sales so far in 2011 is Skoda, which recently announced that it had increased its deliveries and production of motors.
