Marketing conditions often result in premature model cancellations but since they are driven by sales and not engineering, they are invisible to me. Cases in point: early cancellations of F1x 6 series or G32 in the US market. I never knew about those until they were reported by others.

Fair enough, and thanks for your insight as usual. The rumored take rate on the Base/6MT is around 15-20%; do you have any special knowledge about whether this is accurate, and/or whether BMW is dissatisfied with that share?
