BMW is on a roll. Actually that is pretty amazing. Especially since half of the BMW models available for the US are on a 2 to 4 month wait to get. X5, 335 coupe, 335 conv, 328 coupe, 328 conv, 535i , 535xi ...

From Xero's link.
325i sales translated evenly to 328i sales. A slight increase from the 352xi to the 328xi.
The M3 disappeared (wasn't aware they had stopped making the good looking one).
If not for the 335i, volume would have been flat. Maybe all the M3 buyers went to the 335i.

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.

The IS/ES sales = that of all the 3s. For may, IS actually went up compared to last year, ES went down.

335i is doing a little too well. Makes you wonder if the M3/M5 will even be worth it, they may need to tos in a tubro (remember when naturally aspirated was the talk of the driver's car?). I see M5 and 550i sales shifted to the 535i.

Way to shoot themselves in the foot.

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.

Just pointing out the ugly reality of BMW's strategy, the continual drive down market. You haven't noticed everyone's sales are up. It's just that some don't need to come out with ever cheaper models to accomplish it.
So when's the minivan coming out? That should be a real drivers car.

Jeep is doing quite well thank you.

According to one of the other forums, Jeep sales jumped 20% becasue of all the new fake Jeeps. The Wrangler jumped 114%.

The GC might be slowing down, as the new ones don't look as good imo, plus they're not solid axles front and back. The Commander is scheduled to RIP.
