The fact that you have only seen two in a major metro makes the whole point on the X6......niche market and exclusivity.The point was never to see 20 million X6's like you see 20 million 3 Series at every traffic light.YTD thru Aug 08 BMW has sold 24,375 X6's, BMW numbers.Full production did not really crank up until Feb or Mar of 08.All X6's are presold before they are built.Try and find an X6 on the Dealers lot...none.There might be insolated cases of a few X6's sitting around,but most are presold or sold the day they hit the dealership.Based on the Aug 08 YTD numbers...the X6 is tracking to sell 36,000 or so cars in it's first year of production.BMW projected 30k to 40k X6 sales upon the announcement of the X6.Right on the money.BMW is building 200 X6's per/day right now...max production for the car based on the way the car moves down the production line.BMW feels sales will tail off to about 25,000 cars annually...not bad given the economy and $4 gas.Thanks.
