Core Viewpoint - The recent price reduction by BMW in China, which saw a decrease of up to 301,000 yuan for 31 models, is primarily aimed at attracting customer traffic rather than significantly lowering actual transaction prices in the market [1][2]. Group 1: Price Adjustments and Market Impact - BMW's official price cuts have not substantially affected the final transaction prices, especially for popular models, as dealers maintain pricing strategies based on inventory and market dynamics [1][2]. - The BMW 3 Series, X3, and 5 Series, which are key volume models, have not been included in the price adjustments, while the X3 and 5 Series have seen slight price increases due to strong sales and tight inventory [2]. - The high-performance M series models have seen increased discounts, with the M2 model's discount rising from 60,000 yuan to 80,000 yuan [2].
