On the bright side, a couple models were way up.
The 8 Series increase is easily explainable by the introduction of both the Gran Coupe and the 840i models, with the 840i Gran Coupe in particular likely accounting for a good 75% of the gains. The surge in sales, by the way, helped the 8 pull ahead of the 7 last quarter. I'd expect that trend to continue now that the Gran Coupe model is available.
But the Z4 more than tripled its sales too. That one is a bit of a head scratcher. Perhaps there were some very favorable incentives.
