For the sake of the argument, even though it doesn't really matter, here is what I found on 3 series sales:

2018 was the beginning of the sale of the G20. 2018 and 2019 were lower in sales compared to 2017, the last full year of the outgoing and aging F30. Does that mean the F30 was the better car? No. It could mean more people are buying SUV's. I'm just saying, the heavier, bigger G20 didn't really help despite throwing us the M bone with the M340i. Reviews were slightly better than the F30's when it was released, but too much has changed at BMW. No, it doesn't have to go back to the BMW of yesteryear, it just has to be better.
