It works for me
When i need to drive someone (another couple), it usually very small trips
Local NYC stuff
Parking sucks and it's better to get somewhere using one car

P.S. I dont have "large" friends / family members

Well yeah. You just said it. Small trips in NYC. I've shoved myself with 4 other friends in a smelly cab in Midtown, but I wouldn't make a practice of it. You see where I'm coming from ?

For me with a baby in the back it is a huge advantage, wife could sit in the middle and watch over the kid in a child seat. I see this one as a mega improvement (for me), still it does make an x6 a bit less exclusive visually and the title coupe is less justified. That said, the picture of 3 people seating in the back looks hillarious

Well,
I have slightly different approach i guess
I need to make sure i can safely hookup 2 carseats while my wife can seat in the back with seatbelt on
It's doable with current X6, but not "legal"
Same goes for having 1 carseat and 2 people seating in the back

You see where I'm coming from ?


P.S. this looks ok to me:

P.S. this looks ok to me:
I guess we all interpret comfot differently. I have a 1 year old daughter. We looked at the X6, but compared to the X5 it was not really much of a comparison. The E70 gave us the extra room and backseat space we wanted for our current and possible future needs.

I took into account resale value, as I plan to sell it in two years it would still hold good value. A new x5 is coming out in about 2 years time, so would loose more if I got one now. It is very likely after 2 years I am going for the x5 as well.

I have 2-year-old son and i'm "ok" with my 335i coupe for now
If i had extra 2 doors and bigger trunk, i'd be more than happy
X6 definetelly gives me that, plus more backseat room over my current ride

at this point it really comes down to what my priority is
Do i want more sport and appeal with less utility, or other way around?
I went with coupe, because i hated the look of 2008 335i sedan
I desided to go with more inconvinience over looks and sportiness
I'll do the same again with X6 over X5

Bench option in X6 is just an icing on the cake
