Well.. actually that's exatly what happens..

I work for BMW dealer and each month on the first working day we have to send our previous month's retail numbers to BMW by 10am.

Ok, but are these the same numbers issued in the press releases? That is what I'm getting at. Every car dealer sends back a number of how many retail sales they made, including the ones in the U.S. However the retail numbers are usually used internally in order to determine shipments, not draft press releases.

Re: X6 2008 quota already sold out!

My dealer still has several X6 on lot. The sold out could be dealer allocations?

Re: X6 2008 quota already sold out!

In the U.S. that is all it is, dealer shipments/allocations. They're saying that other markets are different.

Re: X6 2008 quota already sold out!

If all it takes is dealer allocations for a car to be 'sold out', won't all cars be sold out all the time? Cause I am pretty sure manufacturers are not stocking cars.

Re: X6 2008 quota already sold out!

Once the production allocation is sold to dealer, the car is sold as for as manufacturer is concerned.

Re: X6 2008 quota already sold out!



"In its first year of production, BMW will produce 40,000 units of the new X6 Sports Activity Model with half of those heading for the U.S. Dealerships and according to BMW AG chief executive officer, Mr. Norbert Reithofer, it has already sold out. There are still reportedly some dealership that have a few models left although there are some that are reporting they have a waiting list.

There were a large number of doubters about the X6 when it was first launched stating the interior space was too small for an SUV and driving performance could not be strong enough for this model to be labelled as a coupe, but it seems that BMW have had the last laugh. The X6 opened up a new niche in the automotive market which will surely be entered by other premium manufacturers over the next few years.

The success of the new model is likely to spur the German manufacturer into action to create yet another SUV in the form of the X4. Whereas the X6 is based on the X5 platform, the X4 would be based on the X3 thereby creating a smaller version of the SAV."

BMW X6 is Sold Out
