I'm going to make this simple - the X6 50/M is a ponderous beast. I've never driven an F10 M5 but I previously had an e60 M5 and the X6 50 feels about twice as big.

However, I recently had an X5 35 loaner and I was impressed. This loaner did not have the sport suspension nor the adaptive drive (both of which I have) - it also did not have the incredible sound of the 5.0 (which some have said sounds even better than the M). Still, I think I preferred driving the 35i to the 50i (even though I REALLY missed the sound).

I will admit to loving the X6 for road trips with the family - but as a daily driver, it is just too big and as I mentioned "ponderous" for me.
