I hear you. But sales data does not mean much to me. We can disagree on the stying, size, and weight of the new M3 but it is a good car technically and is selling. In this economy everything is selling. A car has to be a flop to not sell. (See my 4 cyl boxster example). There are a lot of buyers out there, and brand loyalists that would buy a turd with a BMW emblem.
Let’s look at a really bad car. The Pontiac Aztek. Widely regarded as a total design failure. They found 120k customers for those.
The C3 corvette I mentioned above. Again, not a horrible car in some years but their designs were not great. Their value is in the toilet compared to other generations. They sold over 500k cars.
BMW only needs to sell 110k M3’s from this generation to be a sales success.
Time will tell how the market judges these cars.
