After the Mercedes-Benz C-Class claimed the top spot in January, BMW was not going to sit idly by. In fact, February C-Class volume plunged, not unpredictably in advance of a new model's arrival.
3-Series sales fell 5% in February 2014, but that year-over-year comparison displays the current 3-Series four-door family against the whole 3-Series lineup from last year, a lineup which included the cars which are no labelled with the 4-Series badge.
Combine February 2014's 3 and 4-Series totals and 3/4-Series sales were actually up 13% last month.

For the purposes of the above list, premium brands include Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volvo. Brands like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Lotus don't report specific monthly sales data. Bentley and Maserati only report brand totals. Buick has been excluded with a bunch of other automakers that don't sell vehicles with base prices higher than $50K.

* A4 sales include sales of the unreported Allroad. BMW also sold 113 copies of the 3-Series two-door, now known as the 4-Series.
^ Mercedes-Benz Canada's figures combine the E-Class with the CLS and the S-Class with the CL.
$50,000 CDN (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this new system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, $50K seemed like a safe place to begin - it equals the average U.S. new car transaction price plus $15,000, plus another $5000 to account for Canadian increases. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of this list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced at $35,900, as would be the case with the BMW 320i, which costs less than a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T Limited. The biggest problem with a $50,000 minimum price of entry? Cars like the Cadillac XTS, which starts at $48,940, sporty cars like the $49,500 Audi TT, and SUVs like the $49,990 Acura MDX. Volkswagen recently increased the base Touareg's price to $50,975; GM jacked up the base Tahoe/Yukon price up to $51,580. The new Cadillac CTS sedan's base price is above $50,000, but not the base price for other cars in the CTS lineup. Yet.
Total Infiniti G/Q50/Q60 volume: up 72.1% to 265 in February, up 74% to 503 YTD.

3-Series sales fell 5% in February 2014, but that year-over-year comparison displays the current 3-Series four-door family against the whole 3-Series lineup from last year, a lineup which included the cars which are no labelled with the 4-Series badge.
Combine February 2014's 3 and 4-Series totals and 3/4-Series sales were actually up 13% last month.
BMW's X5 ranked second among premium brand vehicles in February thanks to a 210% YOY improvement. Utility vehicles sat in 11 of the top 15 spots for luxury vehicles, joined as they were by the 3-Series, A4, C-Class, and Lexus's IS. Among vehicles with base prices beyond $50K, nine of the 15 top sellers - including the top three - were SUVs. Surely the X5, pictured above, won't be as popular as the X5. Surely. Please.
