CHIBA, Japan, Oct 24 (Reuters) - BMW's (BMWG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) sales in Japan have not been hurt this year by the strength of the euro against the yen, sales and marketing chief Stefan Krause said on Wednesday.

"We see no impact on our business yet" from the strong euro, he said, adding that the BMW group had sold some 44,000 cars in the first nine months of 2007 in Japan.
