Looks good Deda - very nice! Did you order the chrome trim as an option? Normally the sports pack means that trim is switched out for black....

Cheers, Anteater

Deda,

Get used to trips to the carwash.... I've been to the touchless wash 3 times this week alone. There is such a difference between the colour of the X6 when clean vs covered with dried vehicle spray and road salt....
With previous cars I've just accepted that it looks a bit shabby during the winter, but whenever I look at the X6 and see it is streaked and dirty I just have to go and wash it to see that great VR colour!

Cheers, Anteater

Yeah, i know that...i was thinking to open a special thread about VR,because this color is amazing and it looks in very different ways, depending on sun,angle and many other things.

looks good

the chrome window trim goes really super w/ running boards.
i dislike how bmw market different options in different markets
I could not order the chrome trim individually nor can i get the diesel in Canada. Yet the cars come from the same plant. Marketing bs.

the saddle brown interior is not convincing for me.
i wish they have another brown, darker then beige but lighter then saddle brown.

Nice X6!!
Funnny that the config you made "VR/Satle Braun" is not recommended according the BMW catalog, but it looks very good! Hope that mine config looks good as well, because i didn't saw it in the catalog yet "Pearl Silver/Oyster" and i already ordered it. It also says not recommended!!! We will see in about, lets hope, 14 days from now.

your combo is going to be beautiful! i know how you feel...do you have any info about production date,or what day on ship is your car? because it takes 35 days from production to EU delivery!
