They look like complete crap and sale figures speak for themselves.
Should be scrapped from production.

The Germans love to fill any niche they have. Even with the smaller sales numbers, the demand is there. People want their sedans to be coupe-like, and their SUV's to be sedan-like. Love it or hate it, this is probably the most successful niche the Germans have created. The days of a simple and understandable lineup are pretty much over at BMW, MB and now even Audi and Porsche. Surprisingly Mercedes even stated today that they made a mistake in chasing every niche possible as it devalues the brand and misplaces where they should put their resources and money (

I do wonder if the X4/6 bring in more money for BMW since despite their sales numbers are smaller, they cost about $5k more than their more "traditional" counterparts on which they are based on, and likely have similar build costs.
