..So for those who still cling to the belief that the F10 is an utter failure:

The 535xi is the fastest selling luxury car....9 days!

(It's hard to believe the very expensive Mercedes S550 is sold every 11 days )

The 5-series GT is designated F07, not F10.

Oops, my bad, folks. Yes, it's the GT 535xi, not the F10 535xi. (Although, I have a good feeling the F10 is on its way to becoming one of the sellers for BMW if the recent sales numbers are any indication).

That's what happens when you post at 1:35AM after you've had a "few" shots of tequila.

I have to wonder if the article posted a photo of the 5GT in error. I find it hard to believe that the GT is selling so well (and we know the non-GT is selling well...)

If they really did mean the GT, then the reason they're only on the dealer's lot for 9 days is that there are so few on dealer lots that a small number of people are grabbing them as soon as they can find one...

from what I've read, the F10 is doing so well that the factory is not shutting down for the holidays....

I would trust the text, 535xi. It is probaly the wrong image selected by someone that does not know BMW's.
