The popularity of BMW Approved Used Cars and MINI Cherished vehicle sales was again underlined in 2007. BMW (UK) Ltd achieved record used car sales through its dealer network in 2007. Over 105,000 BMW Approved Used Cars and MINI Cherished vehicle sales were recorded in 2007. This shows an increase of 11.8 per cent compared to last year?s record year.

Sales of BMW Approved Used Cars accounted for 76,500 vehicles in 2007, an increase of over nine per cent compared to 2006.

The top 10 BMW Approved Used Car models through the BMW network were:

MINI recorded a total of 28,567 Cherished sales, exceeding the previous record of 23,746 in 2006 by 20.3 per cent, and emphasising the increasing demand for its used cars. Andy Hearn, MINI UK?s General Manager, said: ?The MINI Cherished programme has helped more UK motorists get behind the wheel of used MINIs than ever before with the assurance that they are buying a MINI in the best possible condition for their driving adventures.?

The Cherished programme offers significant benefits to customers, including a minimum 12 month warranty and emergency service cover, as well as the renowned MINI tlc servicing package. The reassurance provided by MINI?s high residual value is also not to be underestimated. Six years after its launch, the car still tops the residual value charts and makes ownership a sound financial prospect.

This exceptional performance underlines the growing importance of the used car market to BMW UK. In 2007 the total UK volume for used cars was more than three times that of the new car market
