"In a matter of two-and-a-half years, the BMW X1 has notched up worldwide sales of more than 300,000 units."
BMW dropped the ball on this one,
If they would have released here in the US, that number should be 500,000 units. But BMW wants people to shell out $50k large for the X3. Not in this economy!! The "people" majority buying SUV's in the $25K-$35 range. All manufactures have stepped up the small SUV game. Just look around........The X1 is late to the game, in this country.
