sales have actually been sort of uh
pretty resilient in in Europe uh and for
for BMW in particular I think uh in
addition to the manufacturing costs that
that you flagged uh the weakness in
China is is notable I think uh a 4.1% uh
decline in the quarter for BMW in China
uh for for the the main brand I think
that’s something that we’re seeing uh
really sort of universally at this point
where if you’re an international car
company in China uh you’re you’re not
seeing uh the growth that you became
accustomed to over decades it’s it’s
really tough sledding there um what’s
the story on Toyota this is a company
that is very consistently extremely
conservative in the numbers that they
set so uh it’s a company that you know
is is only and I say uh sort of tongue
and Shake only going to make 4.3
trillion yen this year in profit uh and
I I think we can sort of you know pretty
uh reliably count on them to to uh
exceed that just based on past precedent
