More than 150 customers and BMW enthusiasts attended the launch. • BMW of Freehold General Manager Bob Fleishman provided com- mentary as he directed silver tarps — draping each vehicle — be peeled away, literally unveiling the three new models to the enthusiastic crowd. The center of attention was the X6. The all-new vehicle redefines the rfasy-gry notion of a coupe — with five doors and four sculpted seats^a, higher ride and loads of cargo space.
