    It’s because only the rich in Europe buy new cars, buying a new car is a very rare thing.

    In addition to that BMW and Mercedes are known as luxury brands and by far not common in Europe.

      Totally made up claim, the average passenger car age is 12.2 years in the US, and 12 years in Europe. BMW market share is 2.4% in the U.S., 6.7% in Europe. Similar figures for Mercedes are 2.5% U.S. vs. 5% Europe.
