They gave the illusion of prosperity by heavily promoting leasing. It was a house of cards that finally collapsed because their residuals were way out of whack.

I do agree BMW is making money, it is the profit margin that is gone.

I believe in the end we will see the middle class erode. The lower class and upper class will be left. BMW won't have a car to sell to the lower class so they will focus on upper class.

Go to Europe and you will see cheap diesels everywhere or high end luxury.
