COWLEY: The Mini has continued to boost the fortunes of parent firm BMW, latest figures reveal.
Between July and September the group saw its pre-tax profit slide from £255m to £113m – a drop of almost 55 per cent – with sales of BMW-branded cars down by 9.2 per cent to 263,864 and Rolls Royce down more than 60 per cent to 132.
But 60,104 Minis were sold, a rise of 3.4 per cent.
