x6 50i xdrive is fast!

[lsdless]

I drove my friends x6 50i x-drive today and it was awesome. I drive a 335i with JB+ at 100% and my car has some good torque but this x6 so strong. It made me laugh every time I floored it. I can't imagine how the x6 M feels. My friend works for BMW and gets a new car of his choice every month! He just traded out an M5 for this thing. We had matching 335i's but that was short lived. He is going to get the X5 M next. I can't wait to drive that! Anyway I just wanted to let y'all know I had an awesome experience in that X6.

I don't think he will want a different BMW after he drives the X6 or X5 M!

I just picked up my new xDrive35i on the weekend. I deliberately didn't test drive the 50i because I knew I'd want it if I drove it. Traded in a 2007 335i convertible. The X6 isn't quite as fast as my 335i (+1000 lbs) but it's not bad for a TT6. I keep reminding myself how much money I saved by not driving the 50i! But I'm sure it's just awesome.

Problem is you will always wish you would have gotten the 50i if you ever ride in one. I was in the same boat as you and after driving the 50i I couldn't even consider the 35i, even thought it cost a lot more.

I know... it's a very real danger. When I bought my 335i convertible I also drove the 328i, and there was a HUGE difference. I suspect it's the same here, but for now, I'm going to live in denial.

His title is "Regional Aftersales Operations Specialist." He wears a BMW lab coat to work. I'm not sure exactly what he does but when there is a problem with a car that the dealer can't figure out, they will call him in for help. He is like a BMW scientist.
