What i've read, is that BMW doesn't make enough money for each sold car in the US, or North american market, the prices is just too good.
So the thing is, they are going to sell less cars in this area, and ship more cars towards Asia and Russia/eastern Europe, where buyers give that much more for theyr BMW than in the US.
So i think there will be less BMW on the showrooms in the future in N.A.

I think that BMW needs to weed out the shotty stealers.
I can think of 6 off the top of my head with franchise agreements that can be shredded.
