After months of speculation, BMW confirmed last month that its new mid-sized crossover will be called the X6 and that it will be produced starting in 2008 at the carmaker's US plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
CEO Norbert Reithofer said capacity at the plant would be expanded to 200,000 vehicles "in the midterm." A BMW spokesman said
Reithofer would not be more specific.
The X6 would be the third model for the Spartanburg plant, which also produces the X5 premium SUV and Z4 roadster.
