Weren't they sold in very limited numbers In the first place? From a corporate viewpoint you really don't need to demo something like that. It sells itself

How many miles have you done at a time on that Priller?

They were originally on the demo fleet this year. It is BMW's corporate policy to share the crack with the public... give them a taste and you'll HAVE them.
