Now they want the 3-Series Coupe customer to downgrade in masse to the new 2-Series Coupe, and the M3 guys to the new M2. If the current M3 have had lackluster sales at $70,000 average prices since introdution (remember the 100,000 unit production-run estimate? I bet that not even 50,000 have been sold to date) then I do not want to know what's going to happen with a $80,000 M4 sales figures...

BMW is going after profits rather than sales. Actually I take that back they are going after both, which is kind of weird considering that they kind of cancel each other out.
But yeah I don't buy that bullshit either. There is literally no market "demanding" a 4-series.

Because look at what they did with the 6er. It has a 20k premium over the 5 series. For what? Two less doors and a car that looks better. Thats just crazy. And if this is called the 4 series it will be a similar story with this car too.
