Curious, considering BMW seems to be making a push for PHEV's. I wonder if the belief is that it will pull from X3 PHEV sales?

I'm looking for a replacement for my 2017 330e in June and the probable price point of the X1 PHEV would be very attractive. I saw from one of your posts that you had to go looking for this info, as it hadn't been part of a press release. I think I saw that the X1 was BMW's second-best SUV seller (to the X3) in the USA. One wonders if shipping of these lower-price vehicles from Europe eats into the margin too much. Hence the move of 3 production to Mexico. Are there reports of moving X1 production to Mexico? Also, will the upcoming 330e be produced in Europe, or Mexico? If Mexico, it would require shipping of the battery modules from S Carolina or Europe, I suspect.
