Last year stopped selling just under 100,000 units. That the number of episodes already doubled compared to the same period last year, but the CEO does not assume that this growth continues. He points to the weak first quarter of 2009, making the growth rate this year is extra high. China is the main market sale of the 7 Series. After the launch has left 17,000 pieces of 150 showrooms.
