I was afraid the results might fall the way of the article.

The standard X6 is a marvel compared to other SUV's and crossovers. A huge difference. But the difference between an X6 3.5 and the M version is marginal considering the cost. At least that is what I get from the writer. He might just be a truck hater.

Wow was the writer in a bad mood when he wrote it or something? He basicly says it sucks on the track , but it can cope with an M3 on the nurburgring ... Imho he doesn't like trucks and handled this review from the perspective of a sportscoupe or regular (super)sportscar not taking everything in consideration.

I might have been more impress with the article if the writer knew what he was talking about .
"The X6 M is four-wheel drive and feels it. Torque is shifted between all four of the X6 M’s wheels through the clever Dynamic Performance Control system"

DPC shifts torque between rear wheels, xdrive shifts torque between all four wheels. I do agree from what I have read in other articles is the the raw HP numbers (0-60 , 4.7 ) is kind of lackluster for the price.
