Max Keiser has discussed this & i thought the same, so please allow me to put my spin on it. I spent the last 5-10 years watching every scumbag/spiv/two bit/small time drug dealer/Frauster driving about in a "Bling mobile".
Sometimes Audi, somthings Merc but mostly BMW!
Because of the credit boom ANY one whom could place their mark on a leasing agreedment was thrust the keys to a BMW. Normaly a 3 series, 320i/320d...a car far above their station in life.
I had to endure many "encounters" with said scum....although i did mostly make the pass i found i had to work at it. I didn't appeate having to deal with anything from assh*le sales reps to 20 year old drugdealers....the 3 series seem to become "standard issune" to them.
BMW didn't give a toss, their balance sheet was looking great, then the problems began. 1ST of was these people didn't turn out to be the best at PAYING the bills, i hear BMW own credit unit got taken for an (agree-be expensive) ride. Then they discovered that these assh*les had blackened the rep of the 3 series/BMW so much that BMW normal customers backed of & went Merc or even Lexus!
Now the bubble has poped, a good 3 series is almost £30,000 & BMW expect you to pay. All the Bulsh1t credit has caused inflation, thus higher Alu prices.....well tough shit BMW, you caused it, now you can suck it up!
