Did he actually show you the fax?

I have not heard anythig like that. I think he just wants you to buy the X5 now rather than wait. Dealers do these games a lot. Not the first time I have heard of this.

Let's see, X5 debut was August 8th, 2006. X5 was in showrooms mid-November, 2006. Both X5 and X6 are made in Spartanburg. If X6 was built in Germany, then you could say that it will be a while. This should give you an idea.
