BMW should have stuck to the original 3-5-7 model naming scheme instead of muddying the waters and diluting the brand. Don't even get me started on the "M" designations.
Agreed, I don't understand how car companies stay in business with SO many models. This has to only serve to drastically increase manufacturing costs and inventory costs and shipping costs, etc and are they really gaining that much more market share with these products? I feel BMW is doing well from the headlines so maybe they are, but I do NOT get it.

What's the point of having almost every single series in your lineup available in both coupe and sedan. Blows my mind.
