You are flawed. It has exceeded expectations in Europe. It could promote nicely right here.
The problem, and what chances are you’ll be attempting to say, is that it would not transfer incremental models. It could promote significantly better than the convertible variant (which does not promote many models). They bring about us the convertible although as a result of G83 consumers would doubtless not however a G8x with out the convertible; they might purchase a convertible from one other model.
Touring consumers within the US purchase the sedan as a result of we do not have another. BMW clearly did not really feel it will promote to sufficient individuals who would purchase one thing else. That is precisely why the M5 Touring is the one which they’ll carry right here – in that section they lose gross sales to the RS6 so that they need to claw again a part of that market.

That being mentioned, if BMW had been to promote just a few hundred it’s doubtless they might be web constructive to gross sales since it’s an present chassis already bought within the US. Tooling is completed, emissions is accepted on the sister chassis so the necessities are identified, and so forth. It’s principally crash testing and emissions replace.
Precisely. It could promote nicely right here however on the expense of present G8x and X3M gross sales. BMW did not assume there enterprise case for conquest consumers and thus it did not make sense to cannibalize themselves. Cadiliac obtained conquest consumers with the CTS-V wagon.
