X6 & 7 series surprise appearances

With the upcoming New York International Auto Show the rumors we have been hearing have been numerous. Most have not been confirmed: an early release of the new 7 series model because why else would BMW be shooting brochures (and get caught) for this car already? But others have been.

We have confirmed with sources that the X6 will be at dealers far in advance of the dates that had been originally released. How does next week sound? It seems too early but the X6 will be at dealers some time next week. We believe that the day will be most likely Wednesday. It is the opening date for the press at the NY show so an announcement may be made there.

It is also worth noting that many dealers are having launch parties for the 1 line up on this date so do not be surprised if you have received an invite to see the 1 and the X6 is hanging out as well. Whether all dealers receive the X6 for this date is not known but some will definitely have them.

We are still ironing out the details and will keep you informed as we receive more information.

Since the X6 release to dealers has been moved up the 7 series launch may be eminent as well. BMW is more actively trying to get CA’s to move the current model by loading up kick backs and incentives this month. This is normal for an outgoing model but this seems to be early for such tactics unless there was a move to introduce the model sooner. We will be keeping our eyes and ears open for anything we can confirm and bring it to you first.

Further information we just received indicates this may be specific to the NY market and not a nationwide roll out of the X6. We are continuing to investigate this story with our sources as BMW seems to be exploring a variety of launch dates and concepts. We will continue to update you with the latest news as we hear it.

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
