Correct, I basically said as much in another part of the forum, but even with the 'summer' tyres as you Americans call them the X6 performs well. But JC is correct on a few points about the X6's off-road ability, it's not got a proper off-road setup, it's basically an AWD system for the road and nothing else. On equal rubber the RR will out perform the X6 everywhere simply because it's got a proper off-road setup.

But he is right, the car is pointless. It's like the M6, doesn't do anything better than the M5 and is also impractical in comparison but charges more (a lot more) for the pleasure.
