Another year, another cool car BMW won’t be selling in the U.S. However, this time it isn’t going to only hurt enthusiasts. Instead, it’s going to hurt the average BMW customer, as the Bavarians are keeping the BMW iX1 on their home side of the Atlantic. And I think that’s a huge mistake.The second-gen BMW…
