Yes, the numbers are really close but in China they sold some thousands more. Globally the result is around 425,000 for the first quarter.
Well, your not exactly going to turn down a chance of extra profit in an emerging market are you, Audi are re-engineering the R8 so it can have a 7-speed manual,because the old automated one wasn't liked globally,so, guess which market that started with?.

Good for BMW.
While I don't particularly like them myself, BMW is very good at making what people want.
