I could see them scaling overall production numbers down, or slow down daily production speed but to stop altogether would just seem unlikely to me at this point..
I could see them ramping up X5 and Z2 production and killing Z4 production in a couple of years. They could also start building the X3 there and simply make it an SUV factory. But...I do hope they keep the Z4 (or equivalent).
