For those of you who are interested Mercedes-Benz sold 6,592 trucks this month, almost 50% more than the total X Series sold by BMW.

For the first 9 months of 2007 sales of MB trucks are up 12.3% when compared to the same period of 2006. Of the 53,178 MB trucks sold thru the first 9 months of 2007, over half (53.4%)were the new R Class and GL Class.

Please note that I report only United States sales data.

Thanks Fred, it looks like the X3 is really taking a big hit!

Interesting...
The 3 series is kicking fanny YTD & year over year,
the 5 series is about on the past few years "average",
but off a touch.

The 6 series is on yearly avg., the 7 series is slipping a bit,
(not surprising to me), and the Z4 is in need of sumpin'.

Minis are about on the 4 yr steady sale avg.

X3s are off a touch, though it maybe a monthly anomaly, or...

X5s are up a few units over LY's monthly, but not zooming
in the YTD or yearly avg. and, probably never to regain that
'05 hump.

I recall that "100K unit build" post, and while I may have come
off like some xenophobic USA rah-rah guy, that wasn't my question;
I remain amazed that X5s sell that well outside of the US, to make
that kind of annualized unit sale, as what we see in Mr.MeLoan's stats
are US sales units only.

NEway, thanks to Fred MeLoan for the monthly stats.
