BMW, being a global company, will look to the markets that best fill the bottom line. US buyers may have to get used to not being the largest market in the world anymore.
yes but remember all these cars are being built in the US now! So its not an issue of having to bring them from Germany or elsewhere to the US and not having them sell, they are going to be making 35D X3s in the US, why not sell them here? I would understand it if they were still made in Germany. The whole point of building the plants in the US was it being the largest market for the X3, but then why not offer all the engines being used around the world (or at least one diesel and all the gas engines).
