To loosely paraphrase the iconic 1980s movie, Ferris Bueller: "Automakers move pretty fast. Once and a while you have to stop and ask a question or two or they'll just pass you by." That couldn't be any more true in cases like this.

- X1
- X3
- 3-Series sedan
- 3-Series GT
- 3-Series wagon
And now it's trying to add in an MPV that we assume will be based on some sort of 1-Series chassis. Is it me or does this seem nonsensical when the Mercedes-Benz R-Class was discontinued as the only folks buying them were livery car companies in New York City?
We know Mercedes-Benz is up to something currently being dubbed the V-Class, so, perhaps there's an unknown ground swell happening in Europe.
That said, what say you, Spies? Is this another ill-conceived project or is it the BMW everyone's been waiting for?
