That would still seem to be a big number, especially in smaller markets which will probably be seeing the most cuts...25% or larger cut in number of cars for those dealerships.
Over the course of the year, if you look at an average of roughly 250,000 cars a year that BMW sells, that means almost a 20% cut across the board...that's huge.
