I live in Los Angeles and I can't spit on the street without hitting a BMW.. And that's exactly how BMW wants it.

I mean you do realize that Pagani, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, and Ferrari are all hand-built low-volume production cars and could never be built on a high-volume production line like all BMWs are.
