Call it coincidence... or was it not?
A couple of years ago BMW introduced the sexiest 4x4 on the road, the BMW X5. It beats the crap out of other luxury utility like the Toyota Harrier, Lexus and Mercedes M Class.
Following the success of the X5, BMW will introduce a smaller SUV dubbed the X3. Designed along similar lines, the X3 is due to be released in 2004. It will go head to head with the likes of Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, Mitsubishi Airtrek etc.
The X3 will come in three flavours 2.5i, 3.0i and 3.0d.
Now check this out, about two years ago Dell made a debut into the handheld market by introducing their Axim X5 Pocket PC. Coming up this fall, is the successor to the X5, the new Dell Axim X3.
Now how much do you wanna bet, all BMW execs use Dell handheld or a Dell system in their office?
And how much do you wanna bet Michael Dell's official car is the BMW 7 series, and/or his family car is the X5 and/or his sportster is the BMW Z4 and/or he is in the waiting list for the all new 6 series coupe?
Dell IS ubiquitious, KaZ, so I wouldn't be surprised. Or does this somehow reek of s conspiracy between the Bavarians and Michael Dell? Is this also linked to video game consoles, with the PSX (not the PSone) debuting behind the Xbox?
Are we also doomed to another series of X-Treme movies and sports? (cue XxX music)
Am I insane?

I wouldnt be surprised if it is just one incident, but to follow the progression exactly... hmmmm
and yeah, Dell made a few hints of their next handheld in line. It is called Axim X7. Across the pond, the Bavarians are designing the 4 wheel drive version of the 7 series. It will be called... (you guessed it right!), the BMW X7
:)
