I guess the Bangle styling didn't phase too many buyers out eh? Or do you think BMW's sales would increase significantly if not for the styling?

I think their sales would be better with some prior BMW buyers that don't care for the new design but they also have sold to many other new owners that like the new design and of course love the sporty handling. My biggest complaint is the interior, not luxurious enough for my taste. I just think it could have been a little better looking, perhaps more classic luxury car and I have to admit I was dissapointed, as I was hoping to replace my 02 BMW with a new one, but just can not do it. To each their own though, thats why we have lots of cars available with each meeting different needs.

Hmmmm..... With all the reports about the "E" sales being down the toilet this year, I wonder where this puts BMW and the rest????
