You may have missed that the story was updated with comments from BMW stating they had not yet made a final decision on a X5 diesel in the US. So no, its not "pure bullshit" at all, and additionally, you may wish to adjust your tone.

Furthermore, the vehicle you photographed is not a US spec vehicle since it is an X5 30d model which had never been a candidate for US sales to begin with. A large percentage of SAVs built in South Carolina are for export. It's no surprise to see a non-US-spec test vehicle with SC plates like this out on US roads occasionally, especially on the east coast.
