only as funny as the X1 and X2 being considered cars.


BMW claims the curb weight ranges from 5,370 pounds for the base model to 5,617 pounds for the V8 version.

" Light duty trucks are described by the United States’ Department of Transportation as vehicles having a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 8,500 pounds designed primarily for the transportation of property—or a derivation of such a vehicle. "

Look at the models not new and exciting... the buzz had died down, so does production and sales. It would be nice if we could see some consistency with the sales, no matter the number. You'd be surprised at how many of those cars are being punched as loaners too. I wonder if this includes demos. Dealer volume targets have been lowered too. Not everyone has their head in the clouds.

Let's not forget that the X1/X2 models are based off the same platform as the Mini Countryman. And if the Countryman is a light truck, then I'm completly confused
