It's good to hear about all the information available. Even if negative. . This will help us get over issues, with less headache.

I guess the biggest 'issue' I had with this car is that my wife absolutely HATES the X6 (and she told me so EVERY TIME we saw one on the road!)...
The second issue (for me) was the iDrive. I mean, why should I buy a (new) car with an old iDrive system when I know that BMW has a better one already available???
Especially when they already put them into the current 3series (and other models)?
Take a look at these links/posts and you see what I mean when I say that the current iDrive in the X6 is OLD, SLOW and WAY outdated:

You only need to spend a minute with the new iDrive to know EXACTLY what I mean.
And lastly, I think what really made me pull the plug on the X6 was the fact that this car seems to have WAY too many issues. If I look back to when I started posting on this forum, pretty much EVERY ONE that has bought this car and posted here has had some sort of MAJOR problem with their car since then...
Now I'm not saying that BMW makes bad cars, after all I just bought another one and I'm not foreseeing to change brands any time soon (although I did drive a MB S550 4Matic fully loaded with AMG package for a few days and I can't say that I'm impressed with the S550). Now I sure hope that the new 7 will have a better (or at least slightly better) track record than the current X6 in regards to reliability. I guess only time will tell...
In the meantime, I hope, for the sake of all those that bought the X6 that BMW can figure out all those pesky issues (small and big ones) so that every one can get back to enjoying their ride!
Who knows, maybe in a year or two I'll go back and look at the X6 again, though I sure hope that BMW will take the X6's DPC and stick it into a 7 series ... preferably the upcoming 760i TTV12 ... NOW we are talking!!!
Anyway, there you have it, my main 3 reasons for switching to the 750i Individual...
