I really am interested in the N20 engine in the X3... I actually had another sales guy tell me he heard rumors the engine would be available in the X3. The guy I plan to order from says it ain't gonna happen on the 2012 models.
The downside of that position is that the car sells like crazy and if you don't buy somebody else will, so they're unlikely to move in any dramatic fashion. I can't see a situation in which BMW will offer an X3-specific promotion anytime soon. So you may have hung tough, but you gave them a no solution position and they likely just moved on and sold somebody else a car. No problem if you really don't care. Waste of time and effort if you want the car!
