+1 My X6 3.5 drives like my old E46 vert. I am amazed at the handing of the X6 every time I drive it.

I like the option of fitting 3 people in my back seat. I sat in the back seat, I am just over 6-foot. My hair brushed the roof, very annoying. The vehicle honestly makes no sense at all. The poster above only defense was the attention he gets. Hardly a reason to buy a vehicle. |

I am looking for high performance, more utility then a 5-series, and something that drives much better than an X5 without feeling top-heavy and this fits my criteria perfectly. |

I was looking for an all wheel drive car but not quite an SUV, with some sporty attributes and still a descent amount of cargo space. So the X6 fits my criteria perfectly. It 'only' fits 4 and that's just perfect for me and my family. I do drive around some customers sometimes and I absolutely hate it if I have to squeeze 5 into a car. The X6 will have plenty of arm and leg room in the back. In regards to people complaining about the back seat head room, this is after all a 'COUPE', so of course there is less head room but at least you have your own doors to get in and out! Sure I wish the car was a little lighter but hey, I for one think they did a fantastic job... On the other hand, I'm glad not everyone 'likes' the car, means there will be fewer out there and it makes them more special I mean, just have a look at how many 335 are now out on the road...

Perfectly said. I was just thinking the same thing earlier today. I have only seen 2 X6s driving on the road so far.

Another note. Although th X5 makes more sense to a lot of folks, when you look at an X5 inside and out it has a lot of volume compared to the X6. A lot of the volume can never be utilized, it is wasted space. I would rather have less volume and better handling. 3rd row seats are a joke and dangerous in small to midsize SUV's. Cramming 5 into a car made for 4 does not make sense either. The X6 is not for everyone. Nor is the X5. Nor is an M coupe or M3 which get less MPG and have less room. But to each his own. I think they are all fine vehicles intended for a specific market demographic.

Of course the X6 will have less trunk space due to the sloping roof line. Another point I find odd is when reviewers say that the trunk is high and it is hard to load stuff into it. Have they looked at similar sized cars, for example the MB ML or GL series, the X5 and so on? They all pretty much have this high bumper but you don't seem to see them complain about that ... strange! I agree, it is high, but at the same time, it is almost flat from that point on, which should make loading and unloading somewhat easier. Compare that to some other sedans where you still need to lift up stuff to get it over the rear loading lip and then drop it into the trunk. Unloading means you first have to lift the stuff up inside the car before you can get it out. In that regard, I find the X6 easier since you can slide your stuff to the back and simply take it out...

This is what I heard as well and posted about on BimmerFile. That they are test the KERS system for serial production and for F1 at the same time essentially giving them a leg up on the competition.

That would look utterly ridiculous. The boys need to stop looking at this vehicle as a "why would I ever do that" kind of mentality. There is always a reason behind someone wanting/getting something. This very discussion I recently had with male frieds of mine, and it kills me that boys actually believe M3s and M5s and M6s were made just for them. Well aloha, X6M, here's one that's made for the gals that balance work/life/fun. Never was a fan of the M5 (I'm not a fan of the 5 series, period). As for the M6, that wasn't around when I wanted an M3. Thank You BMW!

this car is the stupidest and redundantestttt thing I've ever seen.
The X6 is already too fast and too furious too be improved any further. Although...I'm sure we all have that idiot friend who would buy such a thing. |
