So if BMW Chairman Zipse is saying customers are the decision makers and never lose sight of them, then why is the Head of Design only targeting 20% of them thus losing sight of 80%?
That's not exactly what he said. He said the 4 series appeals to the 20% of people that like the look. He didn't say the 4 series appeals specifically to only 2/10 of 4 series customers.
