Maybe since the older X3 lost market share each year (fact) and got passed by just about every competitor (Q5 etc),...along with the public screaming for a better overall vehicle with increased demands on build quanity are what forced BMW to move the X3's manufacturing out of Europe and out of a contract 3rd party and into the USA. Ok...I'm sure cost had something (big) to do with it also, but that comment is really off base.
