Could have something to do with falling short of the contracted number of units through Magna.

Good to see the SRX has BMW rethinking it’s strategy. It’ll be impossible to match the quality, reliability and performance along with the good looks.

Really, I don’t understand why BMW doesn’t just pack it up and go home like good little nazos. Cadillac has already exposed the inferiority of BMW at the performance end and Buick is exposing the inferiority in the luxury end. Sh1t, Chevrolet and the rest of General Motors have already exposed BMWs inferiority in quality, reliability and dependibility. What’s left for them to try and compete with? They are the laughing stock of the auto industry!

Pack it up. Go back to Germany where you belong. Get the f*ck off our shores where you don’t belong

Be American. Buy American. Buy GM. It is your patriotic obligation

i’ll second that, jake…especially perusing used car listings it helps to know what you’re getting if there are just a few option packages to track…take a mini, for example, they’re a nightmare…so many individual options you never really know what a particular mini has unless you get full disclosure and pics of the interior to verify…few folks really document that thoroughly, though, in their ads…

*shrugs* Thanks @$$holes. Now I have to wait till 2012 for the X1. WTF??!! Now they are doing the same sh*t that Lexus is doing. Showing you all these pretty options available but guess what…”Oh. they’re not available in your area unless you special order them and wait months for your car.” Luxury car my @$$. Big dissapointment BMW.

It is not delay for a year. It is a delay for 3-5 months. In US X3 is not an expensive vehicle, in Europe it is. What BMW is trying to do is customer tailored cars. Those of us who don’t like packaged options, i.e. slush box, sunroof packaged with stereo upgrade and dvd will be pleased.For dealers and majority of consumers it is probably a headache.

Go back to your diamond earrings online shop and leave…
BMW is pretty good, X3 and X1 are not par with other models.

Hope to see some style borrowing from its bigger brother X5.

Heres a theory….delay every BMW planned for the US. That way we wont have to be plagued by sub-par quality and design that they give us.

Maybe BMW should take a page from Acura and Honda and only make their cars with 2 option packages unlike the nightmare that is ordering a BMW today. Make everything standard and have two option packages would reduce the cost of the options, raise the average price of the cars closer to their market value and cause less leftovers to sit on the lots at the end of the year due to poor packaging.

An ordering system wouldnt delay the launch a year. Something else is up!
