BMW deliveries slide in Q1 as China, US weakness outweighs Europe growth

BMW reported a 3.5% decline in global deliveries for the first three months of 2026, reflecting weaker demand in China and the U.S. The drop points to softening consumer demand for the German premium automaker and near-term pressure on sales momentum. The news is negative for BMW, but it is a routine operating update rather than a major market-moving event.
