Linux get the size of a folder and its subfolders to a certain depth

In Linux, I have the following folder structure, I want to get the size of the folder and its subfolders to a certain depth.

I have this structure:

/AAAA/BBBB/1111
/AAAA/BBBB/2222
/AAAA/BBBB
/AAAA/CCCC
/AAAA/DDDD/3333
/AAAA/DDDD
/AAAA

du -m, shows me the entire tree, not just 2 levels as I need. What is the proper command?
