Middle East sales for the first halve of the year= 596 units
So I guess Europe and Asia must have accounted for the rest.
Interesting....The 26,251 number is straight off the BMW Manufacturing Website.Usually very accurate info.Where did you get the sales info broken down by country? Would be interesting,per your post and sales numbers, to see X6 sales broken down by country YTD. I'll see what I can find.Thanks! PalBay

Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door GT
That Surprises me about the X6. I don't see many around over here.

If what you guys are saying is true, BMW may very well build this car.... I personally don't know why they feel the need to compete with mercedes during a global economic meltdown by building a completely unnecessary cross over vehicle. Now is the wrong time to be throwing money at the luxury segment, especially right after the 7 series has come out.

If they do, I'm disappointed. Im disappointed that they build this car over 1tii or a CSL M3 or so many other cool cars that have been thrown in the garbage bin. Now we have an SUV coupe and a sedan coupe thing coming. Where is this company going?

But there is another aspect towards improving profitability: We are reviewing all product projects again.

And we thus have decided that there will not be a series model of the Concept CS.

A recent analysis has shown that:
  • First: Despite the great feedback this car has achieved so far, it does not match our ambitious profitability targets.
  • Second: Our three premium brands have a strong brand image all around the world. This has been proven, for instance, by the latest Brand index analysis. So for the time being, we can do without this “brand shaper” since we have many others in our portfolio.
  • Third and most important is that we want to focus our resources primarily on future projects and new technologies.
  • In other words: Currently, our top priorities are EfficientDynamics and project i.


But instead BMW Group will offer a Megy City Car that will be offered with two different drive systems - an all-electric powertrain and a highly efficient combustion engine.

Re: Preview: 2009 BMW four-door GT
Let the riots begin... there's going to be so much btching and moaning.

Although I don't like the thought that this beautiful car will never see the day, I personally understand. I'm standing right in the middle of the storm we are seeing aka the car industry meltdown and at this point, everything needs to be done to survive the rest of 2008 and 2009.
