Why the hell BMW doesn't put as standard on X6 the Night Vision with an object detection sensor (based on a laser beam, I guess) and the electronic automated braking system (from the cruise control with brake assist) , when a collision is imminent!!! Is this technology so expensive?!? Kids nowadays have access to all these computer games packed with space age gizmos, but in real life we still have to rely only on our senses, when driving at night.

The X6's run about $65-$75k. With the other options folks want like night visions, lane departure, etc. the truck would be $75k-$85k. I think BMW realizes most won't go that high for these other options but would for an M, diesel or Hybrid version. My guess is that is where they are focusing their efforts.
Even the 6 series was left in the cold with a lot of options despite its high price tag.
