    A few folks are waiting on the F56, then if they don't like, they will buy a floor R56 or R60/61.

    Or it could be having MotorTober each year is now a ho hum event and folks are not buying until they see a real deal, like end of year clearing of the old models.

    The Mini next program just gets people out of old R56 and into new ones so they can clean out the carbon and sell it again.

    As long as BMW keeps turning the cars over they will keep making money buy doing all the financing inhouse and making all the interest.

    Nobody, not just MINI owners, wants to payoff and own a car any longer and take care of it. Everyone wants new and under warranty for everything car. A car payment to some people is just like cable and electric you just pay to have it.
