GDANSK (Reuters) - BMW sales fell in the third quarter, weighed down by weak performance in China and delivery stops due to problems with the integrated braking system (IBS), the German premium carmaker said on Thursday.

Group sales dropped by 13% in July-September to 540,882 units, while in China they fell by 29.8% to 147,691 units.

Sales of fully battery-electric vehicles (BEV) grew by 10.1% to 103,440 units.
