So each dealer sold an average 1.6 new 7 series in January.
I wonder if BMW includes in these 'sold' numbers, many hundreds of their 'executive and company' cars sold to dealers through auctions. |

If you understand the product life cycle you may understand BMWs numbers. Again, just wait until 2018 when the G20 is released

Wow look at those 7er numbers. Seems like the Model S is stealing all the sales.

Sales would of been much better if not for the model switchover of the new 5series. Should be back on track by March.

Well people will buy them until they are gone, right?
That said, I continue to be surprised by how many remain in the pipeline so long after the end of production (coming up on six months now). I keep expecting that monthly number to drop to zero or at least low single digits, but it has yet to happen. I suppose BMW is content to not over incentivize and just let them trickle off lots. Still, I'd think that you could probably get a rather good deal on one by now. Probably mainly the 28i left at this point though. |

I think the 2 series numbers have been hurt by the lack of availability. My dealer hasn't had a 230i in stock for several months and very few M240i.

I don't know why the current generation of BMWs doesn't excite me at all. With the e9#, e6#, etc. series, I would look at the photos of the cars online, search for car reviews and car review videos, etc. I just don't feel that way about the current generation cars. They have become too soft and electronic.
