I have BBC from DishNEtwork but it does not have it. Must be a different channel. I did a search for GEAR on all channels and the only one coming up (auto related) is Fifth Gear.

BMW won't call it a minivan, but if seats 7 and has sliding doors what else can it be? They would have no problem building it in the US on the X5 platform and price it in the high 30s, which is not that much above the high end of some of the current nicer minivans.
