Re: X6 2008 quota already sold out! - 05-09-2008, 08:00 AM

Right. This thing is whether or not this "sold out" means that other half of the 40K units (20K) are all BTM orders for the rest of the world outside the U.S. I seriously doubt it. They would have to be a combination of the 3, BTO, DTO, BTM, IMO.

Second thing is what exactly does BMW's sales press releases give a record of?

If the BTO is about 50-55 percent in Europe then the press release can't possibly just include these numbers because they'd be way too high. Seems to me at the end of the day it is still what BMW shipped, with all the other details being kept internal as to what percentage of those units were BTO or DTO or BTM.
