That's because they're cheap and fast.. I'm thinking Mustang numbers would have been up, if it weren't for the 2018 refresh that's getting ready to happen.

I'll say it again... 2 series will never sell well because the pricing is to high for what you get, and at this level of pricing, there are fewer buyers. If BMW doesn't lower the pricing, they need to give extras.. At minimum, power seats should be standard, not an option. It needs to give better bang for the buck because most Luxury buyers are looking for luxury.. not small sports cars... Still, I like having something I don't see often.. Who wants to be average? LOL
Dude not to be antagonistic but if your argument is buyers want luxury and not small sports cars why are they even looking at a 2-series in the first place? The entire point is it's a smaller sports coupe. If your argument is that they're just buying the cheapest BMW that's available because they want the badge, that's a foolish decision process. They'd be better off with a stripper CLA which is a pile of crap from a performance perspective but it has a nice badge on the hood.
