Sales of the E60 in October climbed 6%from last month, but when compared to one year ago the news is ugly: down 23%. Even worse, the MB E-Class sold 57% more units in October than September, and was up 146% over last year! The E-Class sold 5,160 units to the E60's 3,043 in October. Ouch.

What's Hot
Porsche Panamera sold 360 units for an odd-looking car that costs $150k but goes like stink
BMW 7 series outsold the MB S-Class and the Lexus LS
Cadillac's new SRX model is off to a good start with 3,477 units sold in Oct
MB E-Class
Audi A5 +28% over last year

What's Not
Smart ForTwo -70% from last year
BMW 1 series -57% from last year
Infiniti M -55% from last year

It makes sense. BMW does not really market the e60 at all. All the marketing focus is on the 7 and the 3 right now

Its a shame that the 1 series is such a hated car in the US. It has potential that is for sure. I believe the 5 series sales will certainly bump up with the new car arrival, just because there are probably some people holding off their purchase for the new car

look at the numbers on the mini convertible. Good jump. but not enough for big profit

+1 I really like the 1 too. I have only ever seen two on the road before in Colorado

I've never understood why BMW introduced the 1-series at all. For about $3k more you can get a proper 3-series with more goodies. Yes, I know I'm comparing a sedan to a coupe, but for my money (and a whole lot of other people) the 3-series is a much better value.
