That may be due to the fact that all the dealer buyback lemons from the US are being shipped back to European auto auctions. A family friend had a Cayenne Turbo for about 6 months and he made the dealer take it back. This coming from a guy who has a Lamborghini LM002.
I would not be surprised if my dealer buyback Touareg is now ferrying black market Marlboros and Johnny Walker to Bulgarian casinos. Somewhere, some thick neck named Svet with a H&K tucked into his Paul Smith jeans is cursing as his tire pressure monitoring system goes off. And only because Svet sticks said H&K into the VW dealer's nostril will he get an appropriate loaner car.
BMW is well versed in raising the bar. Be assured the bar is about to be raised with the E70 and downstream variants.
