Dealers check for demand through people ordering the new 4 series and order accordingly. And so that's how all the 4 series have been sold already, except they either haven't been shipped yet or produced.
Nope. Sorry. The sales reported are completed retail sales to end consumers.

As to why the 3er & 4er are reported together the reason has been stated in the thread multiple times. For those who think the way the 5er and 6er are reported makes the 3er/4er reporting inconsistent you need to educate yourselves on those two cars. The 6er has always been a very distinctive design completely apart from the 5er, not merely a two door version of the 5er. It's really not a complicated concept.
