Unfortunate, but it is what it is I guess.

SCOTT, can you shed any light on why the MY 2012 535i/xi GT are ending production in February 2012? It seems unlikely that it would be due to the model year switching at that point, especially just for one particular model and trim level. Is something set to replace them at that time? If it were the 550i/xi GT being discontinued due to low sales, I could see the rationale. But I have to believe that the I6 models are getting much more of the sales in the US (and everywhere else for that matter) than the V8 models.
