xdrive50i? xdrive35d?

The engine displacements are shown as xdrive something i or d. Why do you think BMW started to use a new model designation style, rather than just writing 5.0i or 3.0d ?

I think they want to put the x-drive forward since audi is selling a lot of cars by using their quattro tag.

the naming schema is the only thing I see wrong with X6, that and the interior I was hoping it would be more like the concept alas u can't have it all.

the interior is exactly the same as the concept?

I agree that the naming scheme is a bad idea, and it's most likely going to infect the rest of the X range.

Imagine: X3 xDrive35i, X5 xDrive35i, X6 xDrive 35i... all instead of a plain 3.0i! It was even difficult to type!
