(Reuters) - German automaker BMW AG <BMWG.DE> said on Monday it was being investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission following a report of a probe related to the company's sales practices.

"We can confirm that we've been contacted by the SEC and are cooperating fully with the investigation," a BMW spokesman said, but declined to comment further.
