Most likely. BMW does a poor job communicating these things.

... i have no idea how thats possible.

I would not be surprised if BMW South Carolina plant is expanded again. The location is nearly perfect to export to Europe, Latin America, and other parts of the world.

WAY more than 500/day (see below) 😱

"…is the largest BMW Group plant in the world, producing more than 1,500 vehicles each day and 433,810 vehicles in 2021, a record"

Today - yes... not if you look at all time average over 30 years.

They are producing way more now than in past.

So what you're saying is that nothing good has come out of Spartanburg since 2006.

Not sure why the PR makes it sound like they just happened to stumble upon the fact this is the 6 millionth car and so they've decided to hold onto it. BMW planned to build this specific model/color/configuration for this milestone and this has been in the works all along.

If it were just up to random,
a) It probably would have been a grey X3 30i
b) They'd have to explain to the ordering dealer or buyer why they're not getting their car

This. The last 3 cars were all M cars, lol.

And they still missed to put on the blacked out grille

It's because the competition package is currently unavailable.

Where were you told the competition package is unavailable? I have an X6M Competition that just went into production. Haven't been told anything about that.

Congrats! You're safe if it went into production.

I order the cars at my dealer and was filling an order when I noticed it was missing. Also missing off the bmwusa builder.
