Not the X6, Fifth Gear's TV test specifically mentions the lack of headroom for tall people (one of the presenters is very tall).

I dont know, those kinds of people always seem to subscribe to the slightly laid back AMG school of Chelsea Tractors.

X6's concept is great but the practicality sucks. First not much room on the inside...second....it only sits 4!!!! Same as my 335 Coupe! I would have expected to at least seat 5!

Because for BMW....X6 is a crossover of a SAV (SUV) with the E92/93.....so that's why there's only 4 seats.....overall it looks aggressive but not practicle at all....

Yeah it sux. I tried to squeeze into an 04 Viper back in the day it didn't last long had to sell it to my brother and get the stupid viper truck to satisfy my needs for that v-10 growl. And yes I bought the car with out driving it didn't have time. Was delivered from the dealer to my house.

now this was a useless vehicle, payload capacity 300lbs. Towing capacity 0lbs.

I 'm sure some folks would look at an M3 and say why make a sedan a sports car. geez when did the bimmer world become so small minded it's practically borg.

Agree I think it looks cheap.

lot of e90/92 folks commenting here about how they don't like the X6 (like that's news). Wonder why they think that's relevant in an X6 forum.
