Couldn't agree more
The X6 is a beauty, Well not to everyone, Some people will always say its heavy can't compare to a sedan ugly will be a flop useless etc etc...
As for me I would always choose the X6 rather than a large or sports sedan.
X6 is unique unbelievable car like handling only cayenne has similar abilities.
The only doubt I have bmws don't have such good reliability or electronics history.
Those turbo lags in the engine

I'm amazed that you guys think the X6 is larger than the X5?? I've seen them at my dealer in Fairfield County CT, and that car looks bigger than the X3, but slightly smaller than the X5. How could it possibly weight 5,000 PDS???
Anyone that can afford an $80,000 car -- more power to you guys. It's the epitome of only one thing: ostentation. Period. Simple as that, and I'm a devoted BMW owner. People look at someone driving that vehicle, and say, how much money does he make, in a way they don't comment on the 5 series, or really any other BMW model. My two cents.

Gardis,
Is the Porsche Cayenne GTS an epitome of ostentatiousness, or the Range Rover Sports or HSE?
These vehicles cost an average of $10k more than the X6.

People look at an X6 and say how much money does he make. Really? Which people? How many people have you witnessed asking that question? Has anyone ever rolled down their window at a stop light and asked you how much money you make because you drive a BMW? Do you think this happens more often for an X6 than for a 750iL or an M5? Really? Maybe you get asked that question if you drive an X6 through the hood.
If you really are a devoted BMW driver, then you know that driving a BMW is more about how you feel when you're behind the wheel than how you look. It's about looking forward to getting into the driver's seat and being part of a driving experience. So some people look forward to getting into a BMW that is roomy, quiet, comfortable, and has signature BMW handling. That's the X6.

Does your crossover have launch control? Does it, like the 2010 BMW X6 M, have 555 horsepower? Does it, during this "worldwide crisis," have the ability to "pick up your spirits," as one BMW official says?

I love my new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8. 420HP. 0-60 in under 4.5 sec. Out the door at $40K. I'll buy one for my partner too, for the price of one ugly BMW X6.

Yeah not worth 90'gs.
Now that Jeep SRT8 is pretty cool, and Im not really a fan of Jeep unless they are the old school ones. I bet they are even cheaper that $40k for a used one.
