2013 U.S. sales:
BMW\Mini = 375,782
Audi = 158,061
Mercedes\SMART=321,798
Jag\LR = 66,962

Spin, baby, spin.
Losing market share, is losing market share, is losing market share.
BMW even lost the #1 spot this year for luxury sales. They barely kept pace with the overall growth in the new auto market. That is not "dominating." |
BMW is clearly not growing at the pace of other luxury makers, maybe they need to stop making 10 variations of every platform and focus more on vehicles that consumers actually want. Get rid of vehicles that just dilute the brand like X4, 3GT, 5GT etc.
