My Black X6M w/Sakhir Orange

991GT3 · 10-29-2009, 02:43 PM

Picked up my X6M at the Performance Center in Spartanburg today. That was a very pleasnat experience. I highly recommend it to anyone that has the time. Sorry that the pictures are weak. I'll post new ones when the light is better.

Congrats man! That is a stunning looking car!

autodahn · 10-29-2009, 03:13 PM

Did you get to drive an X6M on the PC track?

727jbh · 10-29-2009, 03:15 PM

Absolutely beautiful. Love the black.

Have you arranged for a private carrier back to ND or did BMW or are you driving the X6M back? I plan on doing the same but having a private carrier bring it back to Florida.

991GT3 · 10-29-2009, 04:14 PM

Thanks. They won't have an X6M until December so I drove a X6 5.0 on the track. It was fun.
I'm driving back to North Dakota in a few days. I'm heading down to Hollywood Florida to visit a friend then driving home. I'll have 3000+ miles on the thing in the first week of ownership<yikes>.

The plant tour was great. I have never seen a production facility before. They're pumping out 600 X6 and X5s a day, four days a week. Spartanburg is the only X5/X6 plant in the world and they'll soon be the X3 production facility too.

Thanks. The interior color looks better in person. I'm a horrible photographer and the sun was strong. It's a deeper red color than the pictures suggest.

Looks awesome!

SOMIA35 · 10-30-2009, 08:10 AM

Yes it is a fun car to drive, I think I put 4000 on the first couple of weeks with a drive from NorCal to Socal,Arizona,Nevada.
Are you planning to drive it in the winter in ND ?

Zirenz2006 · 10-30-2009, 10:39 AM

Congrats..the X6M is sick!

kahunacanuck · 10-30-2009, 12:11 PM

Looks great...I think that color combo suits the sportiness of the X6M!

zaha · 10-31-2009, 12:40 AM

Absolutely stunning!
I was going to go with that interior but thought it would be too extreme. It has grown on me a lot and I now think that the contrast looks amazing!! Congrats!

Congrats on the ride...looks sick!

Especially the interior, is it like the m3's foxred?

Oh and how is the ride quality on those runflats?
Thats the one big thing im worried about, because im thinking of getting this for my mom soon.

TTBear · 10-31-2009, 09:32 AM

NICE. Our X6M is due this week. Same colour, but black interior. We are just north of you (Saskatchewan).
I initially thought the orange interior was way too much, but the more I see it... wow. It's sharp!

991GT3 · 11-01-2009, 12:56 PM

I think these are better representations of the leather color

The ride quality is good. Its not harsh at all. My Cayenne GTS seems more severe.
