Huu76 ... since i work for BMW, the fact that BMW is still selling as many 3-series as they are is amazing. This is with a short supply of 3-series coupes and conv. Most dealers in the US are on a 3 to 4 month wait to get a coupe or conv. It has been a long time since I have seen an engine take off the way it has and stay in high demand for a higher production vehicle. The most amazing thing is that it covers more than one model line. 335 coupe , 335 conv, 535i , 535xi 328 conv, 328 coupe ...

about the M3, where have you been for the last year. Production on the 2006 M3 ended in May of 2006.

Lexus sedans are doing worse than last year except for the Es350. Audi sedans arent selling even close to even from last year.

huu you are an arrogant fool.

Why dont you just keep away from the BMW posts if you are going to be this stupid? Just stick to your jeep.

Did BMW kill your dad or something? Because you seem to hate them for no reason. You try in every possible way to bash them. EVEN WHEN THEIR SALES ARE UP DAMNIT!

Fool.
