I guess the easier notion of not selling a bunch of bullshit models didn't occur to anyone. X4? GranTurismos? X6? GranCoupes? Simplify, folks. For the record, I think the 6 GranCoupe should've just been the 5-series.
Couldn't agree more, although something must be driving this trend. BMW wouldn't be doing this if they didn't think it would be profitable. Fewer models and overall smaller cars please.

It's not like they are expected to know the rod bearing clearances or the shearing nature of engine oil either.
Rest assured that this move on the part of BMW will assure that the sales idiot will be even more of an idiot now that someone is there who can answer all the real questions. On the other hand, I always found it amusing toying with the mind of someone that has the IQ of a walnut.
