One month is so meaningless that if you ran a company and told your boss how great it was you would probably get your ass fired. If you actually looked at the market GM, Ford and Fiat were all totally driven by trucks and SUV's. BMW SUV's were down for the month which could easily be attributed to inventory. Yes I've run a $150M company and to judge based on even 2-3 months doesn't mean much without looking at inventory, new product introductions and many other factors. The X1 is being replaced this year but locally my dealer has virtually no SUV's in stock and that's what's selling in the US. I'm not sure they can crank out any more X3, X4, X5 and X6 until the factory gets expanded which is happening. The factory making X1 and the 2 series makes i3 and they were maxed out in 2014 so 2 series was on allocation so without data a month or two doesn't mean much. They had a couple bad months last year but bounced back nicely.
