It is pathetic! I have to wash my wheels every other day if I want them to stay clean and can wash the car every 4 or 5 days. I am going to ask m dealer if there is anyway to replace the pads with ceramic once they go. Perhaps they will do it for free or possibly for a minimal charge.

Different pads may help some but not a lot. I lived in Dallas for a few years. It is dry and flat and there is a lot of dust and dirty air. This contributes to the issue.

well,guys,looks like we need to clean our alloys weekly!

[gnjuss]

man your car looks great,but why didn't you choose a darker shade of brown for the seats,or something in black...Looks like the Mrs chose it,to go with her new purse,ewww.

black interior is to boring for my taste!

[Puka]

ooooo I love it...and I don't think black leather seats are boring but it is matter of with what exterior color you match it.

[Deda]

well i have had black seats in my previous x3,so i wanted something new!! black seats are ellegant,but i wanted something diffrent.

[Puka]

Yep i love it, it is elegant and it matches with all colors of my clothes:P

[Deda]

ha ha..nice!

[Greeney]

09 X6 doesnt have the newer iDrive yet?

[dimitrik]

I actually wanted to order black leather due to how easily the beige got dirty on my E92 but I just didn't like the look of VR with black interior. Maybe I should have considered the darker browns, but hell I love it the way it looks!

[Deda]

yes..me too...my original order was with black interior,but i have change it to saddle brown!

[Puka]

If you ordered black leather on VR. it would be the biggest mistake you could have done, but in one point you are right because it gets dirty,that is one reason i love the black leather on my MS. But i love your X6 looks beautifull times 10

PS-How do the girls like it.
PS 2- MY second choice for the exterior color was VR but in the end i choose MS because it looks more elegant in my opinon

I've only seen one in MS here in Paris and it looked great. I just fell in love with VR when I first saw it on the catalogue and since the French don't tend to veer from the standard black, mine was the first VR X6 delivered in France.

As for the girls, the car sure does seem to impress!!!! Looks never stop driving around Paris, but I did find that in London it's a different story. Far fewer people look but then again the cars in London tend to be much more expensive. I found myself at a traffic light on Park Lane with a black Merc SLR on one side and a dark grey Aston DBS on the other with a Lambo somewhere around us because I could hear the engine. In that company, even I was looking outside my window!!!
