The X3 will be unveiled in Mid December.
World Premiere will be at NAIAS 2010.
the car will be manufactured at the Spartanburg Plant USA.

The X1 will be launched in June . Prior to the World Premiere at the IAA in September. The X1 will be manufacturerd at Leipzig.

The recently introduced X3 xDrive1.8d is a vehicle intended to sustain sales until the X1 goes on sale in Europe in November - X1 and X3 xDrive 1.8d will sustain X3 SAV sales until the next generation model hits the market in spring 2010.

With a healthy orderbook already filling up for the X1 - In which Previous X5
E53 owners who have had their X5 since 1999 will be looking to take advantage of the German scrappage situation, towards the new X1 , the X3 xDrive 1.8d has also benefitted from this programme since it's introduction.

As for the current (Outgoing) X3 it is a very successful model which created a new Premium segment which led to increased competition from Audi and Mercedes-Benz to which there interpretations have now hit the market.
Since the X3 hit the market in (Europe in late 2003) Over half-a-million units have been sold to customers in short the X3 has been a very successful product for BMW .

With the X1 BMW hope to follow in the X3's footstep by again creating a new Premium Segment . The X1 is a typical BMW ,great to drive , unique styling , best efficiency in it's segment and powerful and premium through and through.

Due to the economic climate the BMW X1 will not be sold in the North American market. European Sales commence in November , UK sales in early 2010. With Asian markets in Spring 2010.
