Maybe next time BMW will combine the 5/6 but I think they are comfortable with where the 5 and 6 stand from a marketing perspective.

And in the meantime, the BMW 3/4 is kicking its competitions' collective behinds. All of the complaints about wind noise, ASS, numb steering, cheap looking/feeling interiors, m badges where they are not supposed to be, 4-banger engine note, and (what have I missed?), do not seem to have negatively affected sales figures. I'm not saying the 3 is perfect. These complaints have some merit. However, on the whole, the 3 series is an outstanding car and car buyers are voting with their wallets.
