Like many other car manufacturers, sales of BMW and Mini were hit badly over the past three years. However there is clear evidence that both marques share of new car registrations is improving dramatically and BMW/Mini is keen to push this increase even further. Figures compiled by the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) show that BMW only sold 52 new cars in 2008. This rose to 1,405 in 2009 and to 1,642 for the first six months of 2010. In whole 2009 Mini sold 263 units while for the first six months of this year the number was 256.
