I bet most dealers - after maybe the initial couple months where they might have a whopping 3 or 4, will quickly drop to stocking one or zero.

And the ones they do stock will be $45k 228i cars with no M sport and no xenons, and virtually nothing you can see on the car that could conceivably make it a $45k car. Kind of like all the $40k+ 320i cars around here that have no Msport or xenons yet still manage to blow past $40k.
