They were supposed to build 40k units the first year. 20k for U.S. and 20k for overseas markets.
If overseas is already at 30k units, holy smokes, This might be a run away hit like the X5. They expected to sell 100k X5's over 5 years, They sold 100k the first year of production.
If BMW does not have capacity I see why raising the price $3k to make a little more margin makes sense.
