So the original plan (or speculation of a plan) to unvail at the NY auto show has been scrapped... OK, what now; when and where will this car be unvailed? Have you heard anything LeMans?

Frankfurt auto show in September. LA show for US, which is strange as car will go in production in August. But press release will be much before that.

Which is in November, so people ordering the F15 early on in August or thereabout will be ordering without ever having driven one, gotten inside of one, or even laid their eyes on one (other than in pictures that is).

Basically dealers will get their demos much before the car hits any US auto show. You can feel and sit in X5 at the dealer before ordering. No need to see at auto show. When E70 was released I had driven one at dealer before its debut at US auto show.

800+ dealers in US....1-2+ X5s per dealer....

Dealers already have the ordering guides with options.
