Why is it then that BMW is always topping the list as to the most significant discounts on vehicles? I think C&D had them listed as offering 5 of the top 10 largest discounts on new vehicles.
Does BMW force dealerships to buy cars, thereby inflating sales figures? |

Now that they have the 3-series and 4-series differentiated why do they combine the sales figures of the two?

I agree that thing is GORGEOUS! However, people spending that kind of money tend to want the "exclusivity" factor, and if something has been out for a couple years they sit/wait/buy something else.

After double checking, it has only been a 2013 and a 2014 model, so I'm not quite following your comment on it.
