...BMW ma świetną passę, sprzedaż nowych samochodów idzie mu jak burza.
Co potwierdza tezę, że jak się robi dobre samochody, to się je sprzeda nawet
za niebotyczne pieniądze. So far so good.

FRANKFURT, Dec 8 (Reuters) - German premium carmaker BMW posted its 10th
consecutive month of rising sales in November, helped by demand for new
models like the 1-Series, the company said on Wednesday.
Deliveries in November increased by 7.3 percent versus the year-earlier
month to 104,425 units, while sales for the first 11 months totalled 1.09
million vehicles, up 8.6 percent from a year ago and nearly matching the
total for all of 2003.
Its core BMW brand's sales rose 7.0 percent to 89,715 units, while
deliveries of its Mini brand compacts gained 9.4 percent to 14,630.
With 80 Rolls-Royce Phantoms sold, the group managed to increase year-to-
date deliveries of its super-luxury limousines to 636 units.
Arch-rival Mercedes Car Group reported on Tuesday that its global sales
for November increased by 9.8 percent, mainly due to brisk demand for the new
revamped A-Class hatchback and strong growth in its domestic German market.
Mercedes Car Group sales eased 2.4 percent in the first 11 months of the
year to 1.08 million units, trailing BMW by a small margin.
BMW, which has outmanoeuvered an industry-wide malaise thanks to a hot
line-up of products that include its X3 compact offroader, has forecast its
group sales will rise by 8 to 9 percent in 2004.
