Similar to csimon, I've had my 35i for about a month (PDC was on 12/15). I'm almost at the end of the break-in period - it has been really, really hard to be good.
Ask your SA for an X6 with the full sport package (ie, including adaptive drive) and the 20" wheels. In terms of handling, that setup will show you what the X6 can do. Unreal for a vehicle that large.
One obvious caveat: you won't get the full performance capability out of the summer 20" performance tires at winter temperatures.
Quite a few people have bashed the X6 for not fitting in an established vehicle category. I think its a great combination: great handling, more than enough acceleration to get into trouble, SUV ride height, very comfortable for four adults, and if you need to, you can fold down the rear seats for a trip to Home Depot or Lowe's.
Be sure to share your thoughts after your test drives.
