And with new models, ordering just a few is common enough - they don't want to fill their lot with models that might not sell.
With the X1, they come from Germany, so it's not like he can call and have more cars delivered next week.

Then there's the dearth of BMW dealers in some areas. People in areas without BMW dealers may drive quite a long way to buy their BMW. There certainly isn't one near where I live. You don't see these BMWs, because they're not anywhere near you. This is perhaps especially true for crossovers and SUVs, which are more popular outside the urban areas where the BMW dealers tend to be located.

So they may sell like hotcakes, and you still don't see many.
yea I know what you mean, but you can't tell me that's a salesman tactic with any car
