What "assumptions" were you referring to? Statements were made that the new styling (e.g., the beaver face) would negatively impact sales. This Q1 data does not disprove that because increase in sales were due to X Models, 3 & 5 Series.
Interesting to note as well that China sales went up 97% and now accounts for more sales ($230K) than the US ($78K) and Germany ($68K) combined, and almost as much as all of Europe ($239K). It was claimed (which I never saw proof of) that BMW created large grilles because of China but doesn't look like it because the increase has been due to sales of BMW's with normal grilles.
