BMW autos are selling very well these days in the US and other parts of the world.  This is resulting in some amazing profits for BMW in the second quarter of 2010.  With the euro being weaker in Europe, this is resulting in the value of dollar-dominated sales rising, especially when converted to the euro equivalent.  Going further east into China, BMW models have been selling fast: 75,615 vehicle to be exact in the first half of 2010.  This is double the amount of models sold in the first half of 2009.  Could this be a sign of the economic times improving worldwide?

Many of us are probably more interested in how BMW sales are going here in the United States, especially in the windy city area.  Well, the figures did not break down by city or geographic area, but sales of BMW models are up here in the US by 6.4% compared to what they were in the first part of 2009.  Many great models on sale here at your Chicago BMW m5 dealership have attributed to this increase such as the 3 series, 5 series models, and so much more.

Another smart move that can be figured into the profits is BMW’s workforce reduction before the economy took a dramatic downturn two years ago.  Since the company is profitable again, they’ll begin adding more staff in certain areas.  For example, they want more talented individuals to work in research, development, sales, and purchasing.  In total, BMW will add 1,000 workers spread out over these vital parts of the company.

So, does this make you want to contribute to the company’s growing profits?  There are many new and used for sale BMW Chicago autos right now at your local dealership.  For example, the 2011 5-series is an exciting line up to consider.  The 535i starts out around $56K and comes with many luxurious features for the price tag.  The Chicago BMW m5 is an exciting performance enhanced model that makes driving a BMW that much better!  If you opt for a pre-driven model, there is a large inventory to choose from as well.
