"February was another record month for us," said Ian Robertson,
Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Sales and Marketing BMW.
"The innovative new models coming out this year, such as the 2 Series
Active Tourer and 4 Series Gran Coupé we just premiered to great
reviews at the Geneva Motor Show, will give us the momentum to keep
growing in 2014." Robertson added.

February saw 15,975 MINIs delivered to customers (prev. yr.
