New guy saying hi
Hi All,
I'm a fairly new owner of a fairly new ('09) X6 35i, and just registered and wanted to introduce myself. It looks like this might be the most active online community for X6 owners, as I haven't found a lot of traffic on other sites. This is my first BMW; I was a long-time Audi driver (allroad from '01-'05, S4 cabriolet from '05-'11) until my beloved S4 became the meat in a 7-car sandwich. (Used to go by "Inquisitor" on Audiworld and Quattroworld, in case any other former Audi folks are here.) I've really been enjoying the X6- my wife and I actually flew to Portland, Oregon from the SF Bay Area to pick it up and drove it back home. Fantastic ride- got to test the sports mode out on some of the windy roads along the coast before switching to regular mode to blast down the highway. Even though I miss the V8 from the S4, one of the first things I did was to get a Stage 1 Dinan software upgrade. Might not have the same great sound, but the "woo hoo!" factor is now pretty damn close. I will say too that the attention this car gets is very different from the understated S4. Surprisingly, I've only *ever* seen 3 others on the road, and none since I picked up this car at the beginning of April, which might explain the number of "Hey, what is that?" questions. Despite the reviews claiming "polarizing" looks, pretty much every random stranger who's talked to me has loved them. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and looking forward to being a part of this community. Have a great weekend! |
