Here's a real life observation that defies explanation: Making petty conversation whether its foundations are true or false.
Why? I went to the largest Northeast BMW dealer in the US earlier this week, and the manager was telling me that while the US launch for the X6 won't be until next year (which we know), he said the UK launch was next month, and they would be available for purchasing.
My response? Nothing, just a polite nod. If it weren't for this forum, I would have been all overly excited-for nothing. I guess he was just trying to make conversation, since the only thing I wanted to get were the free Cirque du Soleil tix that were accompanying every scheduled test drive by invitation, and I hadn't done the drive. He was being nice for me.
To anyone in the UK, let me know how the purchasing them shells go
