Infiniti was the alternative but now their following BMW.
Slightly used 2-3 years is the way to go. Let the sheep buy new cars and pay interest on depreciated money.

Nice one Johnny Canuck. Soon Yuri Kutchakokov is going to join the board at BMW too.

I agree Jon. The new A4s with the LED headlights look great and they’re priced well. It’s too bad they’re unreliable.

The ’09 A4 has actually gone DOWN in price slightly… this is going to be a good year for Audi

Great move. Try to build up more “exclusivity” in a down market. Not only do we get ugly crap like the X3, X6, Z4, 6 series, you charge more for it. It will be more exclusive because there will be fewer buyer.

Certainly not junk. There is some actual thought and engineering put into the driving experience. They are expensive (to me) and parts and service are expensive also. I would like to find a used 335 or even 135 a few years down the road. Chip/exhaust.

Nearly as expensive as the 3-series in Canada. Literally a few thousand less, and at 40-50 thousand that’s not saying much. Really, I know several people set on a BMW now looking at other brands altogether.

ummm… perhaps the 1-series, Deanster? Seems like BMW has foreseen way ahead of you.

Life is getting too expensive for most. I foresee the 3-series finally leaving its role as the entry-level luxemobile, maybe to be replaced by something a little lower on the ladder

This is good news. This will make BMW more exclusive so your average dukes of hazzard wannable won’t be able to afford them.

I don’t think Les Profit works for BMW any more. He was replaced by Yul Shaftem.

How about making little bit less profit to cover rising raw materials costs?
