Almost all car companies are selling everything they can build. So BMW's lead is either a reflection of its better inventory and usage of chips or its allocation of cars to the US vs. others parts of the world. Or MB's or Audi's position on these two issues.
They were smarter with their chips plus more compelling offerings than their competitors.
And luckily for BMW the Spartanburg plant is still running pretty well. Not sure about Audi but I know that MB closed and/or paused production at various plants like Rastatt, Bremen, Sindelfingen and Kecskemet.
