Most brands have reported sales growth, some had even triple digits of growth. And then we have the unfortunate brands (such as Infiniti) who are reporting year after year of loss despite the economy and buying market returning back to normal.

You are right in that some manufacturers like Tesla saw over 100% increase. The industry saw a 9% increase, but BMW at 20% means it gained overall market share. Impressive performance by the X3, which is not surprising since everyone that I know that is shopping for SUVs around me has the X3 in their list and BMW has done of great job in catering to many types of buyers.
