Deliveries of its core BMW brand rose 6.9 percent to 92,748 vehicles last month, while sales of its Mini subcompact advanced 5.0 percent to 15,809 cars.

For the first 10 months, group sales at the world's largest premium carmaker rose 10.9 percent to 1,097,103 units, including 535 Rolls-Royce Phantom superluxury limousines.
