I am not sure of FX but in case with 2007 X5 every one wants to be the first one on the block to have one. A small showroom in Perm, Russia was flooded with orders and deposits even without having a vehicle in the showroom. I know BMW North America does not like it but if you have $70k for a 4.8i another $35k for docs, customs and shipping and three weeks later you have your car in Russia, thus saving at least $25-30K.
