understeer problem

Swains · 10-20-2009, 10:54 AM

Hello,

I just bought a BMW X6 50i 2010 and I was wandering!, does the new 2010 model have the understeer problem? I know that BMW got rid of it on the X6 M model and Im hopping they did the same with all of them!

Thanks

I am an '09 and don't have the issue, I hope you get it resolved quickly!

I have 08 and don't have this issue. I checked with my SA there isn't an SB on understeer.

I think unless u r driving at the limit on a track day, understeer is not a problem even in spirited day to day driving. DPC is capable of handling mild understeer. thats why i think we all love the way the x6 carve an on ramp!

Agree if you are having understeer and you aren't really pushing it then go visit service dept. As anyone that has driven an X6 for a while knows the most amazing thing about this car is the handling.

You are driving it to hard then and it is not an M.

I think the OP just wanted to know if we have had any experience with understeer with our X6s.
I don't think he/she has taken possession of it yet.
