Thank's nice trivia. 
It seem that 40000 units sold this year was more than optimistic.

Actually I like to be in here, but I miss so much my BMW!
Maybe this weekend I have to go BMW dealers showroom in Nanjing just to get help for the worst craving! Don't think that I can get test drive? Skaffa

[/quote]Hey that's good, glad you have found your love after travelling half way around the world.
Will you come to Hong Kong, since is so near for you. I will set up a meet for you if you come okay.
Or setup a test drive appointment for you at BMWHK just tell the salesman you are thinking of moving here and wanted a car then no problem.
