You have no idea what you are talking about.

In the UK for example, there are many M3's unsold. The dealers cannot get rid of them. The reports of long waiting lists are a myth. It appears BMW priced the M3 too high, OR people are waiting for the M-DCT gearbox.

According to a poster on another forum I frequent an ex-demonstrator went through BCA auction last week. It had done 2200 miles, and went for 46,500 GBP, which is about 10,000 GBP below list. It went through auction because they simply couldn't sell it. Even at a massive amount below list price.

The situation in Germany, a similar market to the UK, is unlikely to be any different.
