You are a bmw client advisor and would actually disparage against a bmw product? Hmm I bet sales are quite slow with that attitude at your business. |
Sales are doing great, actually. We're full steam ahead after opening up a week ago. X models continue to dominate. The 5 series has slowed. The 3 series is going steady.
As for this 2gc, I sold one since it's arrival. The only reason the customer bought it is because they needed cheap payments. This two is only going to sell because it's cheap. That's all. So far, from all the feedback from other advisors, no one has had any sort of emotional attachment to this car when leasing it. They've sold because they are cheap.
I think Bmw knew what they were doing. When they discontinued the 320i they needed something to replace it and this was the answer. They probably figured they would spend the absolute minimum on R&D in developing a car that will cost them very little to make.
Think of this car as the last resort, Honda/Toyota/Nissan shopper, high school graduate, bad credit, need something cheap buyers car.
I'm also the guy that doesn't sugar coat my opinion about the products I sell. I'll give my honesty opinion about how I feel about a model and let you make up your own mind about what you think when you drive the car for yourself. My clients appreciate my honesty and that has contributed to my on going success with the brand. It's been 7 years and still going. I love BMW but I am the biggest critic of my own brand.
