A total of 1,429,390 group vehicles have been delivered to customers in the first eight months, an increase of 7.4 percent, representing the best ever first eight months sales in the group's history, Xinhua quoted the Bavarian company as saying on Thursday.

According to BMW, sales growth in August was driven most strongly by the BMW brand's many recently introduced or refreshed models.
