Does this mean sales are better than expected? Seems like a large jump.

Also heard the 335 is losing logic 7 as standard equipment.

BMW is tightening the belt. I would not be surprised if the new iDrive system went up another $1000 or more.
I talked w/ a BMW person who works at the Plant during The Hydrogen Road Tour this past weekend.He said first full year X6 sales are tracking at 30,000+/- units and 70% of those sales are overseas (non US) sales.The 30k sales number is slightly above to about right where BMW thought sales would land.Given the worldwide economic slowdown we are all experiencing and $3-$4 gas....BMW is very happy with X6 sales.Thanks!
