You put summer tires on performance cars. The X6 is a big, oddshaped SUV, so why does it wear summer tires? You're spending M3 money for a vehicle that doesn't drive half as well, yet doesn't give you anything in return... like the ability to go up a grassy hill or across some snow.
So out of the factory you're buying a car that lacks the pros of a sports car and lacks the pros of an SUV. So the only thing it's good at is being unique. Such a product from a non-boutique manufacturer is pretty pointless. And thus, the comments of it not being a car for the current era.

Well put.
The point you all are missing is that this vehicle was driven as it comes from the factory. Why put summer max-performance tires on a car that is not going for great skid-pad numbers. Surely if I ever buy a car with all wheel drive, I at least expect to be able to drive in the most moderate inclement conditions, which is what was shown in this episode. They didn't throw a foot of snow at it, but a wet grassy hill. That IS fair people. Sorry that it upsets you.
I am a fan of the X6, but if you buy it, pass on the sports package so you can actually use the car, not just look cool.
