Good to see Mini sales up

Well, if you can lease a 3 series for the price of a Camry, I'm surprised they're not moving more vehicles.

[tallshortguy]

Wow 4 series is almost equal to the 3, I don't remember what the E9x coupe/sedan breakdown was.

Damn, the 5,6 and 7 series are suffering.

Exactly I was just going to say that. Majority of the BMWs out there a leased. And I swear they are just handing these leases out to any moron that walks in through the door. My friend's dumbass brother doesn't have a pot to piss in and he just leased a F30 328.

Again that's because most BMWs are leased and the 5 series lease starts at roughly $500 a month for a 528 with a 10k miles a year allowance.

Why are they morons? If they are driving around in a BMW at as subsidized rate, then aren't they really smart?

No, I'm talking about people like the dude I mentioned that barely scrapes by and insists on having a BMW.

Well, if the payment is similar to that of a Camry, but BMW includes all the maintenance, then I'm not sure I'd call that person a moron. Of course, if someone is just scraping by, maybe they should consider buying used.

[bradleyland]

How about the i3 selling to within 1,000 units of the 2 series YTD? Although I don't really understand how the 2-series outsold the i3 nearly 2:1 in June, but somehow the i3 is still that close. Was there some supply constraint in the 2 series prior to June? It's not like the 2-series got some kind of refresh. Maybe i3 sales are just tapering.

Strange that the 4 series ties the 3 series for the month but is significantly down for the year?

I guess the extra models ('Vert, GC) helps too.

Probably because there was a large early surge for the i3 due to its new release and pre-orders?

That's exactly what I was getting at.

Probably people holding off for the MY16's...like me...who are hoping for similar lease deals there.

2 series was on allocation all of last year and I think it may still be until the 2016's go into production. 2 series is way up over what the 1 series sold, it was only selling about 6,000 per year and the 2 series will probably hit close to 11,000 and next year the M2 comes out.

The surprising one is the Mini 4 door outsold the 2 door, never thought that would happen.

A new 7 series is around the corner. and production likely has stopped on the old model.. . so of course 7 series sales are low.. Same with the X1.

Hey now, I'm sure they literally sell dozens of those a year.

Could be seasonality. Most people aren't rushing to run out and buy a sporty coupe in the dead of winter.

Could it be that 2 series production is occurring at maxed out facility.....?
