Mercedes outsold BMW and the GLS outsold the X7, GLC outsold the X3/X4 combined and the GLE outsold the X5, even with the X5 being up 222%.  E-class outsold the 5-series, S-class doubled the 7-series.  It is kind of sad that people don't buy BMW passenger cars anymore, though.  The Sheeple are just bailing on fun to drive product for boring bigger, heavier, slower, worse handling product, that costs more money.

I would say that Mercedes and AMG build faster, more exciting product that BMW.  Fastest SUV, fastest wagon, fastest 4-door  car around the Nurburgring are AMG's.  6 consecutive F1 championships to Mercedes-AMG as well.  BMW has gone a bit soft, they do have a 500 hp X3 M Competition now, so maybe they will turn things around.  Need an X7 with over 600 hp.

Mercedes is 5k units behind for the year, will be a close finish, although globally I imagine Mercedes will beat them.
