And the Z4 is also not new; it went on hiatus after the prior generation ended, so sales were lost at that time.

They are increasing sales by creating new models. It's fake.
Nonsense. If increasing sales were as simple as creating new models with reckless abandon, then they’d have hundreds if not thousands of models. The very essence of running a successful enterprise is carefully investing into products that will resonate with buyers at the time they hit the market. Oh, but the X7 is a no-brainer, you say? Sure, and so is the rest of the SAV lineup that has been added over the past decade-plus, so we should deduct all of those sales too because hey, those were obviously going to sell.
