BMW sales fall 8.4% in 2020 as coronavirus takes toll
BMW said it saw a 8.4% drop in vehicles sales in 2020 as the outbreak of coronavirus took its toll and many retail outlets around the world were closed for months.
However, customer demand picked up in the fourth quarter, rising 3.2% year-on-year, BMW said on Tuesday.
"We succeeded in concluding the year with a strong fourth quarter and once again we lead the premium segment worldwide," BMW board member Pieter Nota said in a statement.
