My new X6 5.0i

Just got it this week. I ordered it back in June, and I absolutely love it.
Jet black exterior, black Nappa interior, pretty much loaded. Was thinking of changing the wheels, but I am actually starting to like these 20" wheels.
Thoughts?
Jeff

I saw one of these in white around my neighborhood. Damn they look a lot better in person. How's it ride? I think the stock 20" wheels look fine, but with a minor drop n a set of nice rims are always going to be a nice addition. Congrats on the new car

The windows seem to have a rather dark tint. They should make the chrome around the windows available as an option, especially with Black. I would think you would have wanted the running boards?

I too am wishing the vehicle ride height was lower from the factory. Enjoy it!

JeffCBH,
congratulations had mine for 4 days and I love it.
I have the same wheels, they are really easy to keep clean.

The wheels are growing on me, but they do seem a bit small for the wheel opening...my wife's Cayenne GTS has the 21's and I think it looks great.
I also wish I could have gotten the full leather dash in the X6, like the 2008 Cayenne GTS we got...it makes a big difference...but I didn't want to wait for it on the X6...of course my dealer had no info on availability of this option, even though it is in the brochure, and I wanted the first X6 possible from my dealer...which I got.
To answer an earlier question by someone, I got the following options:
HUD
Soft Close Doors
Power Tailgate
HD Radio
Sirius
iPod
Premium Sound Package
Sport Package
Premium Package
Cold Weather Package
Active Steering
Heated Rear Seats
Rear View Camera

Think that's it!
Jeff

Thanks.
No, I haven't...everything is working fine, aside from if I move the seat before I lock the car, and then unlock it again, and open the door, the seat/mirrors/steering wheel don't move back to the memory position unless I press the memory button on the seat...this should be easy enough, I just must be missing something, and the manual doesn't tell me anything. Suggestions or thoughts?

Good Luck!

Sorry then your wrong... The car is not even close to a SUV or TRUCK.
Its a clean sportcar with a lot of space and real large backseat where two adult will sit perfect without rubbing but at each other
But if thats what you looking for...then you got a dream machine.
