BMW Group (BMW and MINI) reports 82,064 sales in the U.S. during the third quarter of 2021, which is 4.4% more than a year ago.
Unfortunately, the German manufacturer continues to remain silent about its plug-in electric car sales, aside from the i3 and retired i8 models that can be identified by the name.
The i3 sales have decreased 31% compared to 2020 to 426 units and at this point it really looks like the end.
- i3: 426 (down 31% year-over-year) and 1,277 YTD (up 47%)
- i8: 2 (down 96% year-over-year) and 12 YTD (down 93%)
BMW i3 sales in the U.S. - Q3 2021

Cumulatively, BMW sold in the U.S. 44,899 i3 and 7,028 i8.

It's difficult to say how well the other plug-in hybrid models (330e, 330e xDrive, 530e, 530e xDrive, 745e xDrive, X3 xDrive30e, X5 xDrive45e, Cooper S E Countryman ALL4) and all-electric car sales (MINI Cooper SE) progresses.
The next big thing for BMW will be the upcoming BMW i4 and BMW iX.
