BMW saw profits fall in the first quarter of 2013 after the carmaker suffered tougher trading in Europe.

2013第一季度宝马利润下跌，主要由于该公司在欧洲的贸易比较艰难。

Net profits at the German company fell 3% to 1.31bn euros ($1.7bn; £1.1bn) on revenues¹ down 4.1% to 17.54bn euros.

BMW, which also owns Mini and Rolls-Royce, delivered 448,200 vehicles worldwide in the quarter, up 5.3%.

"We don't expect to receive a great deal of impetus²（动力） from most European markets over the next few months," said chief executive³ Norbert Reithofer

But he said that elsewhere in the world, BMW had made a good start to the year.

"We achieved a new sales volume record for a first quarter. And we managed to keep revenues and earnings⁴ at high levels." This should ensure that total annual profits remain at the same levels as last year, he said.

Last week, Daimler and Volkswagen reported falls in first-quarter profits, also hit by the slump⁵ in European car sales.

According to industry data, sales in Europe for all carmakers fell 9.8% in March, the 18th drop in a row, with little sign of a turnaround.
