Regardless, I still hope you're right!!!
Are you SURE you looked at the configurator on the NA site? because I just went to BMWUSA.com and sure enough you can build a X5 or X6 (both made here) with carbon black, doesn't have to be the full M edition. just need the M Sport package to choose that color...
