Well I guess we will see as neither of us know if that was lagging 1 series sales as they quit making them- or new 2 series sales that spiked double digit growth
but I am thinking it is because of the 2 series. My wifes 135i Convertible was retail at 52k- her new M235 on order is 55k and the M235 is a better car by every metric you could list. The 3 series is just too big (perfect for many but not so much for the MANY that have bought 3 series in the past because of their smaller size being a major factor) But we will see how it shakes out but the 2 series is a very important car to BMW and I predict the M2 will be the hit of the M cars (next to the amazing M4 which may be the best of all current M's.)
