X6 Sales

Here are a couple of post from GermanCarZone regarding X6 sales.My info is off the BMW Manufacturing website.There seems to be a disconnect between what is listed on the BMW Website and the Monthly Sales numbers that BMW releases every month.I think the difference has to do w/ the different launch dates for the 35i and 50i and the phased release of the X6 to all the Worldwide markets.I guess the only way to get an accurate sales picture will be to wait until full year sales are reported for 2009.The post by Eni is accurate on X6 sales...he works for BMW Marketing in Munich. Thanks! PalBay
The Week of 10/20/2008
Total X5 Units: 1,882
Total X6 Units: 851

Total Units: 2,733

The Month of September
Total X5 Units: 11,653
Total X6 Units: 4,600
Total Z4 Units: 17
Total Coupe Units: 0
Total Units: 16,270

2008 YTD
Total X5 Units: 105,807
Total X6 Units: 29,120
Total Z4 Units: 8,201
Total Coupe Units: 1,474

Total Units: 144,602

2007 Totals
Total X6 Units: 261
Total X5 Units: 131,528
Total Z4 Units: 19,846
Total Coupe Units: 5,895

Total Units: 157,530

These numbers are right off BMW Manufacturing's Web Site....the place the X6 is built.The North American sales appear low...the problem w/ that assumption....I don't know what BMW originally projected for North American sales.The YTD X6 Sales Worldwide through Oct (29,120) are close to being right about where BMW projected 1st full year sales for the X6....between 30,000 to 40,000 units.The wait in North America is about 8-12 months for an X6 when ordered and about the same for international customers.There are virtually no X6's in stock at dealerships anywhere in the US.It would appear that the bulk of X6 sales are international (not North American).Somebody,somewhere is buying the X6.Thanks!
