So with this results, can we expect 0.9% finance again on M models? ( except M2s)

No surprise to see the huge sales decline. November residuals were a joke and lack of incentives did not help. Sales will continue to slide with these kind of programs.

I would imagine so. Might take a few months for inventory to grow bigger before they reinstate the good incentives.

The good news: BMW Pre-Owned (Certified and non-Certified) sales are booming.
For what it's worth.

This must be the effect of BMW chasing after margins and not sales.

Meanwhile at my local BMW dealer, I am told that my ridiculously squeaky brakes on my 328 M-sport are normal and there is nothing they can do about it. With this kind of sales performance and amazing choices from other companies, BMW cannot afford to piss off customers of 30 years over brake pads.
The new 5er has a run for its money with the new Mercedes E-class (W213). Rented one while in Europe and its a hell of a car.

I'm certain BMW will respond to this sales trend; better cars, better warranty policies, better pricing, less stupid option and package logic, better leasing terms. All of this will be better for us. Let's hope.

Guessing the number of cars sold YTD is very small?

Compared to the US yes 11200. Population 5 mill compared with USA 318 mill. That would be 712.000 if this was US sales.

Sadly it looks like no. M3/4 rates stayed the same. Only thing is a $1000 holiday credit.

Another record for global sales.
Especially good for the forthcoming 1er Sedan which will be soon introduced to China's booming compact car sales.
And of course beginning the 2017 year with the all new 5er and ending 2017 with an all new X3.

Odd. I know dealers who set individual records. Mindset must be adjusted.

It seems to me that BMW is attempting to clear the glut of off lease vehicles. That probably explains why incentives and residuals are abysmal on new vehicles.

Have they been giving out good incentives on the i8 lately? I think it was down 20% YTD a couple months ago, and now it is only down 9%.

The thing I noticed is the "light trucks" are showing growth even with relatively old designs. This segment will likely grow for BMW as the X3 gets revamped and the X7 hits the market.

I wonder if the trend away from sedans and coupes is larger than BMW in the US market.
