BERLIN—Munich-based carmaker BMW sold nearly a seventh fewer vehicles in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period in 2021 amid chip shortages and intermittent lockdowns in China.

From January to June, 1.16 million BMWs, Mini, and Rolls-Royces were delivered, the group said on Friday. That was 13.3 percent fewer than in the first half of 2021, the strongest sales period in the company’s history, according to the German carmaker.
