Perhaps the problem is with the current dealers who used to have the MG
franchise back in '80. Yep, many of them are still around. If they didn't
offer the franchise to those, they may be in for some lawsuits, on the other
hand if they do offer the franchise to those old dealers, what are the
current BMW dealers going to say? I'll sue. Could be a no win situation,
and combine that with the safety/emissions issue and it just may not be
financially feasible.
