Hardly 'a boat', no matter what you think of it.

I guess some people just know how to drive and others don't

It most certainly is NOT a 'boat' that's for sure!

The X6 felt glued to the road compared to some other SUVs or even some sedans especially with the sport package.

When will you get the point!
Drive the car and realise that it perform and acts like a sport car...
Time to think outside the box...

To the M purists,

In this day and age of automotive development it takes money to survive and succeed. You had better hope that those of us that have money keep spending it on BMWs of any type. Otherwise you will not have any trickle down toys to play with.

Looks like M does stand for money these days. Seems to me BMW will build what they think will sell, vs just for the love of building great cars.

Not to mention that M3s are sitting all over US dealer lots and not selling nearly as well as originally anticipated. My dealer has 6 of them and is already discounting them.

They also have an alpine white X6 50i loaded with 21" wheels that has been sitting in the showroom for over three weeks

Did you manage to take some pictures of that alpine white X6 50i with the 21" wheels?

I remember you mentioned you wanted to post some

The porsche turbo / range rover HSE sport buyers will love this.. I think there is a market for this... then u gotta say.. F GAS!lol.. Also maybe some previous hummer h2 owners lol. That h2 was such a joke.

It's a TT V8, you can hear the muffled sound and the growl of the V8 in the first video as it makes the 2nd pass. You hear the turbo muffled sound then the V8 growl slightly.

I tried to take several pictures but all I had was the camera from my blackberry and the lighting was poor so they did not turn out good.
