US Dollar vs Euro.Either BMW continues to shrink as a major US player (sells less and less cars every year) and I don't think long term BMW wants to become a very small player in the US market.The US accounts for 25% of BMW's worldwide sales now. Or BMW can build more stuff here in the US and eliminate the exchange rate issue altogether.Thanks! PalBay
