To: BMW of North America

We, the undersigned, respectfully request that BMW of North America review the lineup of automobiles made available to buyers in the United States and Canada.

Currently BMW of North America does not offer any options for consumers seeking a performance oriented vehicle with an economical drivetrain. BMW AG does produce these vehicles in the form of various 4 cylinder and diesel powered models. While these models are available in almost every other market in the world, they are not available in North America.

Additionally, since 1999 BMW of North America has made no provisions for its customers that prefer a smaller, more versatile automobile. The current 3 Series Compact or the 3 door version of the upcoming 1 Series would be welcome additions to the choices available in this class of automobiles. Once again, these models are or will be available to nearly every market in the world except North America.

Please rethink your strategy for United States and Canadian sales and availability. In these times of increasing awareness of the limits of our natural resources and concerns about the environment, it would be to BMW of North Americas advantage to allow the residents of the United States and Canada to choose from the full range of BMWs more economical models that are available to the rest of the world.
