235 1 Series Coupe/Conv were sold in Australia in June 2008! This makes it the second-best seller in the Sports category, behind only the 3 Series Coupe/Conv (347), and ahead of the VW Eos (194).

The 1 Series Coupe/Conv was also BMW's 4th best seller behind the 3 Series (670), X5 (497) and 3 Series Coupe/Conv (347). The 1 Series Hatchback sold 138 in June.

BMW sold a total of 2258 cars in June which is an all time record for BMW in Australia. Not too surprising with the threatened hike in LCT expected to apply from July onwards (retrospectively once it's passed). This easily beats the previous record of 1679 cars way back in July 2000 ... just after GST and LCT replaced the previous import duty system! Notice a common theme here?

BMW was also the 12th best selling make in June. Other leading premium brands were Mercedes-Benz (14th, 1766 sales), Audi (15th, 907 sales), Lexus (16th, 741 sales).
