In fact BMW is buying time to be in market for another 2-3 years... make sense?

It did make sense, up until that part about BMW "buying time to be in the market for another 2-3 years". What happens then? Or is this just the standard car company thing of looking 2-3 years down the road?
Actually I believe design and product cycles are closer to 5 or 6 years but the hard core look (committed to actually making something specific and any hope of changing things has passsed) is around 3 years from what I have seen - at least with the domestics. I would imagine about everyone is on a similar schedule. It's just the logistics of making that many of one thing and getting all your suppliers in line - just in time scheduling, etc.
