You may be correct...but it has to do with planned/forecasted sales...they had forecasted to sell 20,000 but sold around 80,000. That is 400% over target achievement.

Again, it is a Niche market and has its target audience...it's not a 3 series that sells 100s of thousands...I myself wanted to buy X6 prior to my X3...but as a family, we found the back seats pretty crampy...had it been the two of us only...X6 was definitely on the list.
To be honest, I'm seeing more and more of X6 in the road compared to a couple of years back...not sure if it's because X6 hasn't got a lot of alternative competitors in the market...
I predict that the X4 will have its momentum as well...
