BMW have stated that they want to sell 1 million cars a year within the next few years.

For comparison Toyota sell about 8 million/year and Mercedes Benz about 1.2 million/year.

Jaguar by comparison is < 300,000

So.... BMW is a volume seller - expect to see a lot of BMWs around.

In particular you can expect the number of BMWs vs Toyotas and other mass market cars to be skewed higher in places like Europe and the USA with low tarrifs and flat taxes compared with many developing countries (and even Australia) who penalise BMW and other premium priced manufacturers with steep import duties or "luxury" taxes.
