How have the Bangle cars held in value over time vs prior iterations? In my region they seem to have depreciated at a faster rate, but went out of production during a recession.

Were the increased sales due to significant discounts and trunk money from BMW to move cars that had been over produced, with the assumption that the economy was pointing towards spending on new luxury vehicles?
I think the context here was mainly if the car was a sales flop since it was controversial and arguably ugly. The answer is that it wasn’t. It was quietly a big success while many BMW fans wringed their hands in anguish or put fire on their cars...

The details you are asking for? No idea
