40% of BMW's vehicles are going to be crossovers in 2016.

BMW of North America expects 40 percent of its 2016 U.S. sales to be crossovers, up from 34 percent last year, said CEO Ludwig Willisch.

"In a couple of years when we have the X7, it will be even higher," said Willisch during a phone interview, referring to BMW's first full-size crossover, which will be produced at its U.S. factory.

Demand for BMW's X crossovers has exceeded supply -- even with the slowdown of the Chinese market, Willisch said: "In the first nine months, across the board, we had too few X1, X3 and X5s."
