uncertainty is the enemy of growth for sure.

bmw sales are also negatively affected by lack of new product.

new Q7, A4 is out
new GLE, GLC, E CLASS, C CLASS (not so new, but still)

I would predict the rest of the year is going to be slightly worse than the 1st 4 months have shown us.

I agree with the assessment above. I bet when the new X3 is on the market, there will be a big jump in BMW sales. I am also sure G30 5-series will help BMW sales but not quite sure how big of impact it will bring... It will be interesting to see how well the new 5-series will compete with the new MB E-Class.
