is what happens with the manual 250 when it comes out. Wonder if they will sell at all? Porbably more important, will any dealer bother to ordeer any for a stock unit? If they don't, they sure won't sell many, and the lack of demand will become a self fulfilling prophecy. Sure some people will order on a flyer, but most people want to be able to try one out in advance, and lots also want to buy on the spot, not order and wait 8 weeks. But, BMW dealers seem to be doing the same thing. I walked the lot last week when they were closed, and every 3 series I could find (mostly 325s) were automatics. This was at least 30 cars, not including the M3s that I didn't scope out. |

Replying to: stickguy (Oct 28, 2005 11:00 am) In today's USA today, Jesse Toprak (Edmunds employee) was quoted as saying customers are burned over gas prices. Months ago on the M35/M45 (not a compact sport) board, I posted gas mileage as an issue to sales. These compact sport sedans don't fair much better then SUVs, I often think most people do stretch for the monthly note on a car that's just out of their price range. Anyone have Novembers numbers for vehicle sales? regardless of market niche (SUV, sport sedan, etc.) auto sales are not looking good going into the winter.

Replying to: mvs1 (Nov 01, 2005 2:49 pm) M45...No...Real World mixed MPG of ~18 is good for the performance and size of the vehicle. Yes, real world reports have the 35 and 45 about the same...which is also what I experienced with my FX35 versus others FX45. |
