I have worked for BMW for the last 8 years. I have never seen it slow down. I talk to dealers (non BMW) and I always hear hwo slow they are and what not but not us. I worked BMW in FL, there are 5 BMW stores all about 40 minutes of each other all selling over 300 cars a month and the parts and sevice sales are great as well. I am now workin in NC and we have broken records 2x this yr in the parts dept.

Yea the well off that can afford a BMW dont care about the economy or the loss of good paying blue collar jobs to overseas or the cost of gas at 4.50 a gallon they are doing just fine. It is the suckers that have to work for a living everyday that are the ones struggling. You know the ones that work construction and drive beaters to a job that is under increased cost pressure from illegal immigrants? Ask them how well the economy is doing! And ask the millions of people who cannot afford health insurance?

These are the people that built this country and they are the ones that are hurting. The middle class is shrinking and it is not a good thing!

It's been very slow in my area, folks are struggling to make ends meet and a lot of construction workers are moving out of state looking for work and the middle class are very worry about the future.

Unfortunately in the past 5 years or so, way too many BMW's were sold to suckers who have to work for a living every day but felt the need to over extend their credit to get the BMW and are now feeling the pinch.
