MINI Saves BMW's July 2012

BMW reports:

Sales of BMW brand vehicles decreased 0.5 percent in July for a total of 21,297 compared to 21,409 vehicles sold in July, 2011. Year-to-date, the BMW brand is up 9.4 percent on sales of 147,801 compared to 135,114 sold in the first seven months of 2011.

Yet, MINI did great, more than offsetting BMW's sluggish July performance:
