In the production timetable we received a few months ago, the 35i production was being started in mid-December '07 whilst 35d production was starting in early January '08. X50i production is not due to start until May '08, so I expect you will not see many X50i models driving around until nearer that time. |
Any reason behind why they would delay production of this so late, instead of rolling them all out simultaneously? Wouldn't it be easier for a manufacturer to kill two (or four) birds with one huge stone?
