I guess if I spent all day every day carving the twisty canyon roads, I might still opt for the BMW, but I'm really not planning to take it to the Nurburgring, so ultimate roadholding is just a nice-to-have.

But don't lose your desire for an X6. I don't want to see the same ML every place I go...

To you for choosing the MB over the X6 for the reasons of costing verse performance/ differences, we must all have just what "WE" like.

I want the X6; ( Mine arrives Monday) and as I mensioned before the Mercs are real poor quality here, and are very close on price speced up to the X6. The Merc's looks do nothing for me i'm afraid, big box.

Good on you! I was raised in Newbury; if I had here in Canada the twisty little English roads I learned to drive on, the X6 would likely still be my choice. But I would croak every time I filled up a 50i...

Classy comments as always Palbay.

I'll be sticking around. I enjoy this board and the ML doesn't arrive until Christmas or so.
