German car producer BMW Group announced on Tuesday it delivered 151,952 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand vehicles worldwide, hitting a new record of its February sales.

The sales figure represented a year-on-year increase of 7.6 percent. According to the Munich-based company, 294,112 automobiles were delivered to customers in the first two months this year, registering a year-on-year increase of 7.3 percent.

According to the company, a total of 31,089 BMW and MINI brand cars were sold on the Chinese mainland, showing a year-on-year increase of 2.7 percent.
