Yesterday we had the UK🇬🇧 companies fighting back with increased sales, from previous stuttering numbers, can they keep this up?

Meanwhile, Cars & Bids yet again having a stellar day selling 87% of their listings. Can we now say that they consistently have the highest sell-through rate of all platforms?

Today, I plan to embark on a concise exploration of this month's sales, or at least one particular make.

The top five car makes below consistently make the monthly leaderboard, albeit with some variation in their rankings.

Just the other day, we cast our lens on Porsche, as detailed here. Now, I'd like to shift our focus to the next make on our list: BMW.

While I was aware that the 3-Series had a reputation as BMW's crowd favorite, I was taken aback by just how much it outshines all other models in the popularity stakes.

Below are the top five 3-Series sales in July so far.

Diving deeper into the data, we can identify which specific 3-Series models were most popular among buyers. This analysis offers a fascinating glimpse into the preferences of car enthusiasts and collectors.

The clear winner in terms of popularity was the M3 model. With a total of 32 sold, the M3 embodies the balance of performance and luxury that the 3-Series is renowned for. Following the M3, the 330Ci and 325i models also proved to be popular choices, with 11 and 8 sold, respectively.

These findings illustrate the enduring appeal of the BMW 3-Series. The M3, with its blend of power and elegance, continues to be a fan favorite. However, the variety of 3-Series models sold indicates a diverse range of tastes among buyers.

Here's a chart showing the breakdown of the specific 3-Series models sold:

It's summertime! The season when the sun is shining, the skies are blue, and the open road beckons. When such a day arrives, there's nothing quite like driving a convertible with the top down. This sunny scenario got me pondering about BMW 3-Series convertibles, their popularity, and how they're priced on the market.

To answer these questions, I analyzed all the BMW 3-Series sales so far in July. In total, 86 BMW 3-Series cars were sold. Out of these, 25 were convertibles and 61 were non-convertibles. A variety of models from different years were sold, ranging from the classic 1987 M3 to the more recent 2018 M3 CS.

The most popular model was the M3, with a total of 32 cars sold. Other models such as the 330Ci, 325i, and 328i also made the list. The prices varied greatly, with the highest-priced 3-Series convertible being the 2012 M3 Frozen Silver Edition, sold for approximately $105,000.

The chart below provides a detailed breakdown of the BMW 3-Series convertibles sold, their prices, and the platforms they were sold on.

Each car tells a unique story and offers a different driving experience. Whether you prefer the raw power of the M3 (like me) or the smooth handling of the 330Ci, there's a 3-Series convertible for everyone.

So, which one would you like to take for a drive?

Exploring the BMW 3-Series wouldn't be complete without spotlighting a selection that's up for bidding right now. I've handpicked a few standout models that I'll be highlighting below.

In my quest to curate this list for you, I ventured onto the Hemmings website - a task that, truth be told, is seldom enjoyable. Today's experience was particularly challenging to say the least! Take a look at the screenshot provided below. It's hard to understand how such a layout could make for a satisfactory user experience.

It's mind-boggling to witness not just one or two, but a whopping five ads invading your screen while visiting Hemmings' website. To add insult to injury, they even have a competitor's ad flashing at the bottom of the page. It's a bewildering choice that raises serious questions about Hemmings' brand integrity and business acumen.

Imagine walking into McDonald's only to be greeted by someone holding a big Burger King sign, urging you to ditch McDonald's and head over to their restaurant. It's an absurd scenario that defies logic and leaves you scratching your head.

This decision by Hemmings is undoubtedly one of the craziest and most questionable business moves in recent memory. How can they allow their own platform to be cluttered with ads that distract and potentially divert customers to their competitors? It's a contradiction that undermines their credibility and casts doubt on their commitment to their own brand. Look at all the other online auction companies websites. Do they have a user experience like this?

And just in case you're imagining they're raking in a fortune from this, think twice! The returns on these types of ads are surprisingly modest.

If you run a business targeting a similar demographic, it's absolutely mind-boggling that you can actively choose Hemmings as an advertising platform through Google AdWords. You can actually do this today- try it! The irony is hard to ignore. It's like entering a realm of sheer madness where conventional business wisdom goes out the window.

Is it a coincidence that sales at Hemmings are at the bottom of the sales heap?

This serves as a stern reminder that even established brands can make perplexing decisions that leave consumers bewildered and questioning their motives. It's crucial for companies to prioritize brand coherence and customer experience to maintain their reputation and build trust.

Looking on the bright side, there's still time for them to change course. They can take a page out of the top performers' books and mimic their strategies. It’s really not that difficult.
