Just got my new X6

pha_roah · 07-20-2009, 11:58 PM

Had it for a couple of weeks now, so far so great.

I chose Tasman metallic because it looks different based on different light conditions, I must say I like it and am glad I picked it.

Still getting used to the stares on the streets though. I understand because I remember my reaction the first time I saw it on the street.

Thanks to this forum for allowing me to browse and research the car before buying.

Nice!

Did you order it or take one from dealer inventory?

SandmanTR · 07-21-2009, 12:02 AM

Congrats! Looks great and love the color!

pha_roah · 07-21-2009, 12:03 AM

Ordered it. None of the dealers I went to had inventory back in May when I ordered it.
It was a long wait to be honest but worth it in the end.

No, not me. This one has not left the North Shore and Vancouver. It had 3kms on it when I got it so I doubt that it ever went that far.

Thanks for all the welcome messages. It's good to be here.

From a fellow Vancouverite,i'm seeing more x6s on the road this summer...must be fabulous on the upper levels if u live on the norh shore, you'll love the drive thru Howe sound...a wonderful car...u sit high on the road yet the x6 handles incredibly like a sports car, not a truck.

B Xtra careful with turns & parking, the rear tire track is wider than most other cars you drive. After a year, i eventually rubbed the curb during a turn & parking.
Can be easily repaired, but it's easy to curb the wheels on this car, especially if u drive other smaller cars.
I didn't need snow tires this past winter either! Enjoy, c ya.
