They have different packages than we do. And even if the package is called the same, they may have different options included in each. Marketing also likes to change the options included with each package from year to year (as well as the pricing)...

I'll check US website. Does he need both?

I guess that would really be up to him

I don't really know what option he likes and which ones he doesn't

As for me, the more the better

Just checked the US site. The options list is like a shell game! They call the packages by the same name but option items are different !

Well, I just pulled out my CC for the car.
Now, I have to wait 50+ days to get my car.

I am getting all the option I listed above + Smart Phone Integrations (150 bucks), + Alum.

I just found out the Side Running board, if you get that as a factory install, its 300 bucks. But if you get it as an Accessories, it cost 560+ Labor.

As for my choice of Color, its White with Aluminum Dash + Beige (Vent seats).

Here in the US, we only have two color choice for Vent Seats, that's Beige and Black.... all black interior is a little too boring for me. Although its more Practical here in Chicago to have black interior (it gets really dirty here in the winter).

But Heck, buying X6 is not suppose to be Practical, it is all about having FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

U sure that alum dash will not be glaring in the summer evenings when sun is coming thru windows @ low angle?
Same reason they have black leather dash, so glare does not reflect off of the windshield or gun metal finish for rifles.
Silver colored cars are almost invisible behind glare, especially when sun is @ highnoon angle. Which was often cited as reason why James Dean was killed in his silver Porsche. The guy who hit his car apparently didn't see him.
Same reason why we have daytime running lights for visibility today.
I opted for Black Flywheel Patterned Aluminum.

They (US) don't have the Flywheel trim option!

My wife's car (3 series touring) has brushed aluminum trim on the dashboard the center console and I believe in the doors as well. I never had a problem with glare in her car in any driving condition.

I just went on to US's BMW site to check these, and I also called up my dealer. For some reason they don't have informations for the above choice you listed

But, Heck, I think i am done waiting. As long as they offer the same TTV6 Engine and the big giant model graded behind.
Everything else is just bouns

Anyway, thank you for your informations.

It's not fair why do we europeans have to wait like 7 months if we order and you guys just 50 days.
I know we have a boattrip 42 days but add there 50 days and it shall be 3 months.
Does anybody know who we have to wait that long it's killing me!!

Puka · 01-17-2009, 10:19 AM

That's unfair and I can't wait, but today my dealer called and he said at most 2 weeks and your car will be here by me... let's see, this two weeks seem to be like 2 years

Perhaps its because you guys are waiting for the Diesel engine? I feel sorry for you man, my dealer called me and said my x6 will arrive at the beginning of March, which is a week delay...

Oh well.

I ordered mine and waited 5 months to get it, 3 doesn't sound so bad to me.

Dmlgc,
You know what, my BMW Dealer just rang me and told me that I can go pick up my car on Sunday. Which, is, a full month ahead of schedule for some unknown reason.

Oh well, now I need to decide weather I should chip out 4k for a set of Ferric Gray 215 or not

Great , it's fun car. Glad you didn't have to wait too long. I have heard that wait times are going up.
