2009 X6 xDrive50i in Production!!! Exciting.....

Matt The Car Nut · 10-15-2008, 09:53 AM

My Dad's Cayenne Turbo replacement is FINALLY in production. The 1-800 number estimated the completion date to be October 22nd. He needed the X6 in August but decided to wait for full leather (all autos this expensive should have full leather standard). I've been specing cars for my parents since I was 12, and this is what I've ordered for my dad:

2009 BMW X6 XDrive50i $66,200
Vermilion Red Metallic (A82) $0
Saddle Brown Leather (LUD3) $0
Dark Bamboo Wood (4AZ) $0
Sport Package (ZSP) $3,200 (Keep the comfort seats)
Premium Package (ZPP) $2,200
Full Leather (4M5) $1,900
Comfort Access (322) $1,000
20" Star Spoke Rims (259) (2LE) $950
Soft Close Doors (323) $600
SIRIUS Satellite Radio (655) $595
Heated front seats (494) $500
Rear-View Camera (3AG) $400
Running Boards (328) $300
Destination charge $825

Options: $12,470
Total MSRP: $78,670

Installed at delivery:
*Tint
*Clear Bra
*Ipod Adaptor

I can't wait for it to arrive. It's going to be one amazing, unique vehicle.

Look for pictures when it arrives....

I would have gotten premium sound which includes the iPOD adapter. The basic sound system is too weak for a large cabin.

+1 Agree , premium sound rocks.

He couldn't tell the difference between the two systems. Therefore, I decided to save $2,000. Car manufacturers make a lot of money from people who think they need every option. Had he noticed a difference, I would have speced it.

He could not notice a difference between 300 and 600 watts?

I did the same, I could not really see the quality improvments over cost, so left it off, I play most music through the IPOD anyway and sound quality is very good standard.

nice post MTCN

Should have ordered the Heads-Up Display. Of all the options I ordered, and I ordered most of them, this is by far my favorite one and I am really glad I ordered it because I use it everyday and it is great with Nav.

freedevil · 10-20-2008, 03:52 AM

The base stereo is 200W

Matt The Car Nut · 10-20-2008, 10:51 AM

I strongly disagree on that one. Premium sound has almost twice the power. Put in a CD like John Mayer or something with strong vocals and turn it up and you will notice a night and day difference.

Still an awesome vehicle even without premium sound. I love mine!
