Another way around this will be for BMW to export less of them to the US and increase exclusivity and price.

It's not like it is costing them over 85k Euros to produce. Quite far from it actually...
+1, What are you talking about? I'm pretty sure BMW some experience at how to make margin on US-sold German built cars.

BMW has been manufacturing in Germany, importing, distributing, and selling cars for profit into the US since Hoffman set it up in the 50s with the 503/7.
