Agreed.

Also, at the time a year ago I was looking at silly low lease deals on E90's, $199 a month for RWD, $229 for X-drive. Then boom, the F30 comes out at $459-$399. Leases make up a LOT of 3 series sales.

So I think it's a bit premature.

Also agreed. Let's see what a full 2013 MY run shows b/t the different companies, but first signs are not very good at all.

Total sales are not the same thing as market share, which was the topic question. market share seems doomed to diminish.
