In 5 years it will be a 5 year old BMW. Lots of BMWs are
sold in Florida and then traded in 5 years. I doubt that
they are anymore worthless in Florida than in more
northernly climates. Also, the Germans are not stupid. I am
pretty sure they understand that their cars are sold in
climates that actually have more intense sunlight than
Germany and have adjusted the composition of the materials
to compenstate.
