In Reply to: Re: I just read the "official" production schedule posted by Bruce on January 21, 2000 at 22:20:54:
:represented the production start dates (that's what it said). I don't think November represented the start of sales for 3 conv, even wierder, it was start of production. So sales to begin 2 mos later in January? Nah! I specifically asked about the X5 3.0 and 330 for the same reason you state but all they know is what BMW NA marketing told them (what was on the paper). They wouldn't let me write down any of the info because they did not want to get caught sharing it with a lowly customer. It is possible my memory failed on the X5 3.0, but I don't think so.
I can't say much about the veracity of this memo--it can only be taken as more grist for the rumor mill.
The SD car show starts Wednesday and I will be there that evening. It is supposedly the "5th largest" in US but there will be nothing knew I am sure over LA or Detroit. Certainly not the M3. If there is anyone from BMW NA willing to talk, I will look for them.
