so what?......these things constantly go up and down. The article says that the major contributing factor is Model shifts and a rise in taxes.

BMW's tax bill increased to 268 million euros from 203 million euros a year earlier. Net income in the quarter was adjusted for new accounting treatment of pension provisions.

the change in the treatment of the pension provisions could have been significant. I dunno how their sales figures are doing but I thought bangle's designs were allowing Audi to steal some market share.

North American sales fell 8.8 percent to 78,719 vehicles, while sales in Europe fell 6.1 percent to 189,437 units.
of course, worst part is that MB is up :-)
