Iwant to share my first ever BMW driving experience. I test drove the x6 inline6 I can't explain how satisfy I was. The handing was amazing as well as the acceleration. The interior was great like every BMW. I can't describe in words how special I felt while driving the car was fully equipped with all the options including active steering and 20 inch wheels. I don't know why would some1 choose the v8 the inline 6 was more than fast enough for me 0 to 60 came in less than 6.4sec it felt even faster |

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 CT

I've had the X6 for nearly a year, and while I generally love it, I've been having a recurring problem that the dealer hasn't been able to figure out. When I first start the car in the morning (between 5 and 6 am -- this may be important), my navigation screen will be blank. Even if I turn the car off and on again, several times, the screen won't appear until after I've driven, parked for a while, then return to drive, again. However if I turn on the car at around 7 or later, the screen will start up normally, which is why I wonder if this might be temperature related. Now, it's not exactly cold here in San Diego, but early morning temps can be pretty low  . BMW dealer hasn't been able to figure it out; it's with them for the second time for this problem right now, over one week each time. I'm searching here for a solution because we had a problem with a Prius that also only occurred first thing early in the morning. Toyota couldn't figure it out, either. I learned from a Forum that people on the east coast had had similar problems and the culprit was the water pump. I asked Toyota to check that, and they told me that both water pumps were on the verge of failing and that the car wasn't safe to drive until they were replaced. So, any similar problems, or ideas?

Replying to: xsnerg (Apr 16, 2009 8:43 am) I've read too many of bmw owners saying that bmw can't figure out whats wrong with their cars When I first start the car in the morning (between 5 and 6 am -- this may be important), my navigation screen will be blank.

BMW dealer hasn't been able to figure it out; it's with them for the second time for this problem right now, over one week each time. Navigation going blank in the morning If you leave the car start for like 5 minutes will then the navigation open? I wonder if bmw has similar problems in the hot weather as well? I do not like the idea of bmw keeping cars at the dealer for a week. I'd prefer the problem to be solved right away, or within 24 hours.

I asked Toyota to check that, and they told me that both water pumps were on the verge of failing and that the car wasn't safe to drive until they were replaced. I've been searching and reading about x6 for over a year now, I really like the x6, but too many complications in this car, I've read more negative reviews than positive ones. The first thing to start with, I don't know if the inline6 is a better engine or the v8, I want the engine which can last be longer, I tend to keep my car for around 4 years, btw, not very keen to spend the extra for the v8 I've been pushed by some friends to get the new lexus rx, but don't really know if I'll be happy with it. I am really attracted to this car since it came out, tried to look for an alternate car because of the issues, but keep coming back  Sometimes things get so confusing, I think of just leave luxury cars and buy something thats cheaper and no reliability issues. |
