Does anyone else find it interesting that

BMW has yet to produce a Sales Brochure for the 2008 X5 in the U.S.?

I wonder if there is something coming as a mid-year change that is causing them to hold off releasing new sales literature? It just seems a bit odd to me that if someone goes in considering the purchase of a $50,000 - $75,000 vehicle, the saleperson cannot even give them an up to date brochure when they leave.

Like on the thread that brian5 has posted, the twin turbo currently found in the 335 is supposedly going to replace the 3.0 engine.

There might be reason for him to state this (like trying to sell a car right now), but none of the 3 dealers I've spoken to know anything about a March release of a new X5 variant. The last guy I asked - and he said everyone seems to ask the same question - he said they would've heard something by now if something is indeed coming for March.

They're probably making an X5/X6 brochure.

If they add Night Vision and the 3.0sd engine, then I'm placing my order.
