BMW has probably beaten MB in unit sales in 2021 for the first time since 2015.

MB has yet to announce. Probably delaying the bad news after the latest fire-related product recall.
Pieter Nota, global head of sales, is already claiming the global crown. Too much for MB to make up after Q3. Good for us all as BMW fans and fanboys.

In the US, BMW will beat MB as well most likely. At the end of Q3, MB was at 215,776 passenger vehicles and total 254K (including the Sprinter vans). MB would have needed to sell over 115K passenger units to beat BMW in the US - don't see how that happens with the supply chain constraints.
