oh well. It's not like we haven't been heere before, eh? In 70s and 80s manufacturers would go bust, others were on the brink. some luxury car makers pulled out of crap by introducing cheap mass level models. I imagine BMW can start selling more Minis and Isettas ...

Porsche was all but gone till early 90s when Boxter was introduced. Has been a turnaround story since.

Probelm for BMW is that their cars are not really luxury enough to be in demand by the elite rich who will keep buying Porsches and Lambos. BMW is a mass market luxury car, therefore it WILL suffer from the drop in demand. So expect factory closures, cost cutting, quality going a bit down. all the good stuffˇ. I imagine that quality wise, E46 would remain as best made 3 series for a while.
