NFS4 = OWNED. BMW posts highest profits (per quarter) ever.

Ummmm did you read the OP? I think you just owned yourself.

Show me where I said "BMW's sales increased" or "BMW's sales didn't decrease at all."

When you do so, I'll shut the hell up and never post another car thread.

What's your point again?

WTF pissed in your cheerios this morning? You started this thread red in the eyes with hostility "NFS4 = OWNED." You've really done nothing but stir the pot. Sales are down one the new 5 and the Z4's aren't great. You can only increase profits through "soft" means so long. After a while poor sales are going to catch up to you.
 
LOL, I love how everyone measures everything to BMW's vehicles and BMW's success.

Anyway, I think the new 3 series spy photos look tight. The new M3 should be crazy!

Cliff notes.
3 series sales in july are down from 9952 last year to 8823
5 series down from 5313 to 2668 !
7 series down from 1595 to 876 !
Z3/4 down from 1648 to 1311
July car sales overall are down from 18599 to 13974
X5 down from 3546 to 2991

The only bright spot seems to be X3, which is not even built by BMW.
Once that wears off, BMW could be in trouble.

yeap as they continue to go down i wonder how profits then will be? a company can't last long with sales going down so fast.
 
If only BMW could make a way for that annonying lady to STFU whenever the driver enters a destination everything would be fine.

<BR><BR>LOL. I actually like BMW, but dislike the bangle designs. Everything pre-bangle is fine by me. The old, 5, the old 7. The Z3 and M-Roadster. All of those designs are pure perfection.<BR><BR>It's only the new 5/7/Z/X3 that I don't like. And I-Drive sucks. But BMW as a whole has my vote

the E46 3 is a Bangle design.


But yes..the E39 5-series is perfection.

But i will admit hte front of hte new M5 looks good. The back isan other story.
 
holy sh*t people, how about you all quit your bitching like you actually have some ties to (or reason to hate) BMW. You all have your points and in the grand scheme of things, did your life improve by arguing so damn much about a car that most of you argue about but will never buy?

I just honestly don't understand how you get so pumped up arguing about sh*t like that. Me, I'm posting this cuz I'm still pissed off that my theater didn't show the Ep. III trailer.

😛
