You see, this is exactly the problem I have with Bmw SA. This car would probably have been 50/80k cheaper than the next model above it. But why give the consumer the opportunity to buy a slightly cheaper model. For some , the price difference may be the decision between a BMW and a Toyota .
This highlights a thread I posted some time back and I think I used the z3 as an example. This is a far better example of my point
I know I know, it the number crunches...I don't know what the solution is
