Two unconnected people have told me they know people in the USA who own 4WD 3 or 5 Series BMWs, made only for the US market.
Is this true, or are they mad...?
They aren't mad but they are wrong.Is this true, or are they mad...?
BMW make 4x4 3's and 5's in most markets - the UK is the exception (currently). In the past they sold the 4x4 cars here too, but years ago.
BMW 535i XDrive anyone? http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/vehicles/20...
BMW 328i xDrive? http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/vehicles/20...

They do sell them over there. There's a few 525xi's in this country too!
Certainly no RHD E9x or E6x exist. Same with the two previous 3 series and one previous 5 series. I have seen ONE RHD E34 xi model but not sure if that was a conversion.RB5 said:

Imported, all LHD.RB5 said:
I've only seen E34 5-Series models.
Also seen E30 iX models too.Admittedly, not seen any of the newer iX models (E60/E90 etc) here in the UK but as mentioned above, plenty in Switzerland where it appears to me the X3/X5 are (unsurprisingly) not the vehicle of choice for the Alps.
In a thread from a while back discussing the 'merits' of the X1, I questioned whether sales of the X3/X5 would suffer if 4WD versions of the 3 and 5 Series were sold here. Me feeling is no.
