Not sure if this is such a crazy idea from the corporate's point of view but BMW USA could also start an initiative to gauge the interest. They can basically accept small amount of refundable deposit for the G81 via the BMW USA website with certain terms and conditions (i.e. they reserve the right to make a decision at any time to not bring it here, meaning just because you left a deposit doesn't mean it will for sure be offered in the US). A refundable deposit is still not a hard commitment but I think it would be a step further in terms of seeing how serious people are. Just an idea...
