Re: BMW V3 - 3er Crossover (spy pics & info)



Sorry, but i can't understand the decisions the BMW Board makes the last month. I am completely dissatisfied. Cancelling the Concept CS but keeping the PAC? Sorry, but this is getting worse day by day...

^

They calculated a high-volume seller based on 3er would be much more profitable than low-volume seller based on 7er (CS) / X5 (X7) , or an alu/CF space-frame roadster.

Imagemaking cars are not a priority right now. Profit is. No profit = big troubles. Eg. official BMW AG goal for 2009 is to stay profitable. Quite modest goal. And as insiders say, it will be quite hard to achieve (if the crisis continues - which according to the forecasts, it will).

Do not think BMW alone is in trouble. Everyone is. Yet BMW are the quickest making adoptations, and being loud about them. Others either lagging behind, or doing it quitely.

Sure, but don't they make more profit from low-volume but high price cars. Those cars are way more expensive plus they are mostly loaded with extras, and i think that with those extras is where car makers make big money.

Don't tell me that Volvo doesn't have less that 90% profit from the 120€ they charge for an extra crappy cup-holder... Same goes for everyone.

Re: BMW V3 - 3er Crossover (spy pics & info)

I started to love BMW for building intresting and sporty cars. I have no intrest in geek cars. PAS, V3 is no intrest at all and they will never be a sporty car.

I pity the fools falling for these kind of BMW products.

Re: BMW V3 - 3er Crossover (spy pics & info)

Sporty daily cars will still be there ... there will only be no exotic sports cars (CSL, large coupes & roadsters etc) for a while.

What is most profitable? A premium charge for a relatively cheap car.

Mind large cars with all the super-duper features (costly R&D!) are not very profitable. Yes, they have bigger profit margin but the absolute sum is quite low.

Get it? 3er platform is the cheapest & most profitable to work on.

My info: indeed it is, and it's called PAC (Pathetic Automobile Concept)
There. I corrected it for you

It wont make me a richer guy and intrested.

Sorry Eni, BMW are forgetting their roots in a near future. And if this was the year I was starting to get intrested in cars I doubt its BMW that would caught my attention and become favorite brand. At least show us the new Z4 and a M3 CSL to ease my pain.
