Updated:BMW AGM release - 2008 X6 quota sold out

[LeMansX5]

CEO Norbert Reithofer said at BMW shareholders AG meeting today that 2008 quota for X6 is sold out.

From his BMW Annual General Meeting release(see PDF attached):

• The X1 will be the fourth member of our successful BMW X line-up. The new BMW X6 is best proof of the popularity of the X model range. Evidently, many customers were waiting for such a vehicle. The total 2008 production volume is already sold out.

Then why are there like, at least 7 of them sitting on Richmond BMW's lot? And no, they did not have sold signs on them.

Probably dealer committments, rather than individual committments.

i can confirm this, last week went to Antwerp bmw dealer Jorssen.(Belgium) ..told me the same thing, if I wanted the x6, had to wait 8 tot 12 months minimum.

I agree. This is what I was thinking too...

Who "hates" it, here?

BigR and a couple others didn't like it, even a little, but
I don't recall anyone "hating" it...

I like it; just wish it was not so pricey.
But, everything seems pricey to me, these days, lol!

Oh MD, I hate it. Something calling itself a coupe and a SUV/SAV when it isn't...

"selling out" doesn't make it good, just popular with people with money they don't need

[motordavid]

BigR, I wasn't speaking for you...now I do recall you
thought it sucked.

I like it; doubt I will ever own one...these $70 G cars
are currently out of my retiredbum budget.

I need a Fund Drive, lol!

Glad they sold the production out; will be interesting to
see what happens in MY 2 or 3, however, when gas is
$6+ in '09.

By the bye, is that "Beck'08" as in Glenn Beck, Beck's Beer,
or Beck Hansen? ... lol!

..... Glenn Beck.
