To follow up on this post, the March leasing numbers are out and appear to be largely the same as February. I think the dealer was feeding you a line about the 2012 lease rates.

I ran this through the new google translator for sales-speak...

"It's the end of the month and I have no hope of making a sale today if we talk about future product, six-months should be enough to dissuade this potential customer from waiting..."

BableSalesman.com had an alternate translation...

"My job is to sell cars, not keep up on the information BMWUSA sent us last week on 2012 X5 changes, pricing, and availability, so I'll make something up."

I too am frustrated about having to wait until fall or settling for a 2011. Resale, on the other hand, may not be an issue- I was originally looking for 2010's used and have found that they are BARELY less than ordering new....and they seem to be selling quickly.

The 2011 that I would order stickers just under $64K and I can order for about $56-57K net of the eco credit. I can't find a used one (other than going to the pre-new iDrive 2009s) for under $50K and most are in the $52-56K range...some even more!

We're talking about the diesel. It's all over several forums and everyones dealer is telling them that both gas engines will be '12 next month but the diesel will not be a '12 until Aug-Sept.

oh, ok. yeah, diesels are delayed.

BTW, heard from a birdie that X6 facelift coming later this year will have a diesel version, along with a diesel 6-series. Tri-turbo 45d is the engine they are supposed to get. So a few months wait may be good.

Any idea if colors like Carbon Black are still restricted to the M Sport Package? I wouldn't mind it so much but the aluminum color roof rails that come with that package look ridiculous and I also want the running boards which can't come with that bodywork.

Yes. But you can order custom colors by paying more. It has happened with E53.

I reordered (long story) my '11 3.5d for week 14 production (mid-April), so looks like 3.5d is '11 until fall.
