not for $8K more than an X3... I sure don't .. . 70 cars a month sure doesn't justify a platform now does it?
maybe if BMW is lucky it will be like the X6 and muster up 10% of sales of the main model..

the X2 is selling well.. who would have thought the US likes vehicles with a hatch on the rear ?

The new X4 isn't out yet in all actuality. As you can see with the new X3 it takes what? 5-6 months for sales of the new car to really get going.

The X4 is not on the market. X3 waiting list is at six months plus for some models within some markets.

So I would assume my M240i is one of the 930 sold in June. If they weren't so darn scarce / hard to order you'd think they could have sold more this year so far. Ordered mine in January

The new Z4 can't come soon enough.




In all seriousness, that new 3er needs to be a knockout. The F30 was such a half-assed disappointment.

What he said. The F30 was the worst 3 series I have ever driven/owned and I have been exposed to/owned every 3 since the E30.

Speaking from my experience, one of the reasons 3 series sales are down is inventory. My dealer hasn’t had a 330 in over 2 weeks, which forced me into an X1 as my 320 lease came to an end.
