BMW wants the highest possible percentage of market share in each category, not a exclusive brand by any measure. Ferrari limiting cars to 7k per year, Pagani and Koenigsegg selling a extremely low volume per year, Lamborghini selling less than 2k cars per year, are all examples of being exclusive. Selling almost 2 million cars worldwide is very far from exclusive. BMW was number one in worldwide sales out of the 3 German luxury brands. They are not looking for exclusivity. 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.
