Throw the i3 & i8 away. Strong showing for the X7 but was still beaten by the all new GLS. As was the X5 and X3 in their categories respectively.

The 3/4 series is still a strong product for the brand but with SUV trends here to stay that will continue to fade as with all automakers. The 5 and 7 series are slowly fading to irrelevance for the brand’s sales

Looks like the GLC and Lexus RX are the ones to beat amongst lux SUVs, the RX accounting for nearly
Half of Lexus sales last month or atleast around 40%

The X7's sales are constrained by supply. Dealers simply cannot get enough in stock.

Another strong month for BMW in the U.S. market. The X4, X5 and X7 did very well for the brand. The X7 should see even stronger numbers once dealers get more supply. BMW will in all likelihood take the U.S. sales crown for 2019 just as did in 2018.

Finally saw an X7 in dark blue at the golf course in my neighbourhood. That grill is just as big as it looks in pictures. Amazing it look this long for BMW to make a bigger SUV.
