That's because there is no inventory left. These sales numbers are backward-looking. Since the initial collapse in late March and early April, sales have roared back and now there is no more inventory.
Remember, many of the people who buy BMWs (and Benzes, Audis and Porsches) have been sitting at home for months, still employed because they can work from home, and bored out of their minds because they cannot spend on travel, dining, entertainment or other experiential purchases. What can they do? Go for a drive!
Dealers are now going to have issues meeting their sales quotas not because there are people not buying, but because they have nothing left to sell them. It's actually sort of remarkable.
