that was indeed the marketing strategy in the last century...
the #s from september show an increase in US sales of something on the order of SIXTEEN THOUSAND X1s this year over last year to date. not bad for a boxy looking vehicle.

6 series (includes gran coupe) up 1600 models (28%) over last year whereas 5 series remains at the same level... and 7 series is up a modest 5%.
Look for a boost in 2 series sales of course over 1 series as the new model comes out.. ... and then a continued bump just like the 6 series when the 2 series GC comes out the following year....
