I actually know a number of strong dealers.
We can gripe about the number, but the fact is that BMW sales are up while competitors sales are down. The company and the dealers are doing something right.
both 2011. i didn't do it on purpose. it just happened. actually, i'm pretty happy about it.
i put a 64 gig chip in the r bike's nav 4, so the stones and doors sing to the schuberth. after spending a lot of time on a naked harley, i find myself very comfortable on the R model in spite of the tiny windshield. one of the few benefits of being a midget, i guess.

Paul,
In the bitter irony category, a local modular housing manufacturer in Muncy PA (a 'burg near Bloomsburg) just announced that they're laying off their staff. It seems that banks aren't willing to make loans for that segment of the housing market.
It makes you think.

Banks have a problem with doublewide mobile homes that are sold as modulars. The banks won't finance something they consider a mobile home on a lot with a conventional mortgage. They insist that it be financed as a mobile home at a higher interest rate and shorter terms with the lot financed separately. It doesn't matter if it is new or used. Selling a doublewide mobile home on a lot is nearly impossible because the buyers can't get financing.
But, modulars do serve a large part of the housing market, especially in rural areas.
Terminology counts. "Modular" homes are built to current ICBO (International Conference of Building Officials standards, including the plumbing code, electrical code, building code,and fire code. "Double wide "mobile homes" are constructed to a different standard, adopted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 1976. Mobile homes have a chassis, even after (if) the wheels are removed. Modular homes have no chassis and are transported by truck and set on a conventional foundation. In most states modular homes set on a foundation are taxed as real estate. In most states mobile homes constructed to the HUD standard are taxed as personal property.
Neither will fit on any BMW motorcycle I am aware of.
