Good for BMW. Of course brand (loyalty) plays a part but I wonder how much of an influence the smaller engines BMW is implementing plays on consumers.

Secondary market?
The secondary market is a curious number. It would suggest newer, first time buyers. A decrease in the secondary and less new car sales would suggest repeat buyers holding off longer which does not seem to be the case.

Wow, didnt realize the x3 was such a hit. I guess thats why I see them all over the place. Still think the Q5 looks better, but you can't argue with the performance of the X3 xDrive35i.
