Sort of. With the E46 M3, BMW had waiting lists and while some people like the exclusivity of owning a car trickling into the supply line, for the car maker it typically means lost sales since lots of people get something else rather than wait. So this time, they ramped up production so plenty would be available to me demand - and demand plummeted. The value of the dollar fell, the price of fuel rose, and instead of a waiting list, they've got cars sitting. Things will level out.
