From a BMW and Cadillac owner so I find it interesting.

1st quarter BMW sales dropped a good amount so not sure if this is a car problem or that people don't want cars. When you look at the cars for the link below it doesn't look good. With the 3 series dropping 30% and the 4 series 14% in the 1st quarter would we then say it is a product problem?

BMW Group Sales
In total, the BMW Group in the U.S. (BMW and MINI combined) reported March sales of 34,795 vehicles, a decrease of 13.3 percent from the 40,139 vehicles sold in the same month a year ago. Year-to-date, BMW Group sales are down 10.8 percent on sales of 81,452 in the first three months of 2016 compared to 91,269 in the same period in 2015.
Add 3 series and 4 series together for 2015 and compare them to 2014 and also bleak - http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2011/01...s-figures.html
I'll disagree with this. The 3/4 series sold so many cars that it is natural to see some dips. They still sell so many. The article shows that the average ATS stays unsold for 140+ days. If that is true, that is a car that is not in demand at all.

It looks like the 3/4 is selling at something like 10x the ATS.
