are they doing bad saleswise to begin with?

They have sold the most number of 7-series since this new design, altho I'm not sure how the 5-series is doing (altho it must be good...i see quite a few new E60s around)

But will new products continue to propel the sex of their customers... that's the real question.

Does that mean you will not buy BMWs once Bangle leaves and that you like Bangle?!?


<How is the X3 doing?

We're happy enough with the current running rate, but it's a very competitive sector. >

That means it sucking @ss.

I have seen alot of 6 series these days. They are repulsive to me. They look like the bastard child of a 7 and a Z4.

X3 is repulsive, plastic undercarriage, small exterior. YUCK!!!!!!! what were they thinkin???

No, BMW sales were up last year 4.3%, on the whole. This includes MINI, which was up 21.4% last year.

However, all model series achieved very successful sales figures in comparison with competitors.

According to these numbers:
3 Series: -7.8% YTD through April 2004 vs. the same period in 2003
5 Series: +4.6%
7 Series: -13.4%
Z3/4: -36.2%
X5: -16.8%

Their overall numbers aren't that bad due to the addition of the 6 Series and the X3, but I wouldn't say sales are booming.
