I'd buy an MCS as a DD in a second if they were more competitively priced Lets look at the JCW which is top of the range and compare it to the VW GTI or dog forbid the R......no comparison ....the GTI and R will beat the snot out of the MCS/JCW not only in terms of power but price/value and sadly reliability |

Clubman was a new model in 2016 which is why they only show a couple hundred sales in dec of 2015 and a big diff year over year
Convertible was in a similar situation with its release iirc The BMW 2 series increased 20% year over year for december |

BMW's bread and butter 3 series sales in 2016 down 24,000 units compared to 2015! That is the most shocking part of the sales report. The fact that they are down is not surprising, but by so much!! Especially when it is universally accepted the the 3 series have the best engines in its class. I guess people are tired of BMW's stale interior design

Car sales on the whole were down in 2016 which is weird because the economy has been recovering. 2015 was a worst year for the average American yet they bought more cars. SUV sales are the winner for car manufacturers I suppose fueled (no pun intended) by low gas prices.
As for BMW I wonder what effect the downgraded ultimate maintenance will have on sales this year. I still think it was a bad decision by BMW.

I am not all that surprised, go sit in a C class, at the low end, a Fusion is not a bad car and for less money you get more performance. It is competitive market and products that people would not have considered in the past are now competitors.
If you look at the 3 series on both ends, the 320 with no options is little better than a rental car, and by the time you add a bunch of options to a 340 you really have to be committed to the brand to pay what they are asking as there are better cars for that money. As others have pointed out the styling is 4+ years old and is due to be refreshed next year. For me, my car is fine for what I bought it for, which is to be a highway cruiser, for sporty driving I would look elsewhere. Hopefully the G20 will be awesome, I won't be buying one, but I wish them well. I am in the minority of people who enjoys the wagon. So it is either C Class (if that ever materializes) or Volvo V60 Polestar or maybe VW will win me back with a Golf R Wagon. B. |

Interesting to see how car markets differ from country to country.
Here in Norway, BMW was the third best selling car brand in 2016 with a market share of 7.8%. Because Norway has no tax or vat on EV cars, the BMW i3 counted for one third of the BMW sale here.
