X models are really big here in the Northeast. I don't think they sell nearly as well in our warmer states.

My Ride: 2004 530i
Model Year: 2004
Interesting stats. I'm surprised that only 90% of the cars have Air-Cond. Is that even an option these days? Or maybe that 10% have AC broken, who knows?

And yet a country where they do get snow sells less than 1000 x series. Makes me wonder why we really need them here. Or could it be we just can't drive in the snow and the X give us a sense of security.

When I was a kid and teenager and my father and I used to drive up to Killington, Vermont to ski every other weekend, I was always shocked that most of the cars that had slid off the road were 4WDs. Lots of people driving them don't seem to get it that the 4WD won't help them stop.

I believe they can use chains and studded tires there, and most of them do, so buying an AWD or 4x4 would be a bit redundant for them.
