On the highway the 6 cyl does great (BTW, it is an inline 6 not a V - so very smooth). Some have said it is a bit lethargic around town. In my test drives it was just fine and I'm sure it would have been great. But then I heard the V8 on start - wow. I upgraded for the sound alone.

Pex and I disagree on the Adaptive Drive. I love it and claim the ride is perfect. He claims some sharp bumps while driving.

But here is the point - that Adaptive Drive will now add $4K to your order. I don't expect very many people to order it. Even I would have a hard time jumping up that much (I never drove a NON Adaptive Drive X6, so I can't comment too much on the roll). For 2012 and 2011, it was part of the sports package, so much easier to obtain.
