X6 - Twin Turbo V8!!!

Hey guys, the new family car is the meaty tt v8 x6. I'm pretty excited. Any idea if this could keep up with a 335? I test drove it and it's insane. Very loud. On another note, is the CA worth getting?

The brother got his X6 3 weeks ago and loves it. It not the easiest to get into the rear of and the boot is not the best shape but the looks (especially at the front) make up for everything in my opinion.

P.S.
Also the best SUV to drive, and that's coming from experience in owning two Cayennes.

Im a FAN of this car. CA is great if your hands are too occupied by holding a handbag and lipstick.

I think I read in one of the rags, the V8TT is about the same speed as a stock 335i in the quarter mile.

Yeah, the X6 is a heavy sucker and even with 400+HP and all the TQ, its weight slows it down a bit...but it's still insanely fast for a cross-over! Just wait until Shiv and the others adapt their piggybacks for this new engine...OMG!!!!

Anyway, I like the look of the X6, but this thing is really in left field as far as price goes, even for the base X6 with the F/I tt inline-6 N54 engine; add a few options and you get $70k+. I think the X6 v8 with some options is $80k+.

I think it is totally worth getting because it works with all four doors. My biggest initial complaint was that when either I put the car into park or opened the driver door all of the other doors do not automatically unlock like most cars but with CA it is not that bad because if you walk up to any door and place your hand up to the door to open all of the other doors will unlock as long as you have the key in your pocket.

I think someone moved this thread into this forum. The original post is a couple of days ago and I know that this thread wasn't in here on the 24th of August!
