Regarding the spacers, it gives the X6 a more aggressive stance, looks better.

Love both my Bimmers. 2012 750i mineral white/oyster,black and a 2013 X6 5.0 Performance Edition.
Regenerative braking has nothing to do with your question regarding spacers - because it wasn't for you - it was for the OP who wrote this:
"For instance, the brakes and the transmission are (and feel) very different from those on a traditional gasoline vehicle."

And the fact is, Regenerative braking is annoying and I find it worse in the X6 than in any other BMW I've ever driven - plus when I step off the gas in my manual transmission cars, I tend to clutch in, so I don't feel it at all
