Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing , Marketing/Advertising , Crossover , BMW When the second generation X3 goes on sale early next year BMW wants more of its American customers to start special ordering the crossovers rather than buying them off the lot. Custom orders are more the norm in Europe where about half of all BMWs are spec’d up before being delivered to the buyer, and BMW has been promoting its Individual program which allows customers to pick and choose the colors and materials in their vehicles. The advantage to BMW is that these optioned vehicles have much higher profit margins than the standard configurations typically stocked by dealers.
