I'd also like to know if there are any reasons or differences between 2012 and 2014/15. Is it so much that I should stay around the newer years?
Well I am excited and my X5 4.6is will appreciate the rest.  |
I'm on my 3rd X6, 2nd X6M. I can't talk long term or high miles as I lease. I think there is a huge difference between the generations. I personally prefer the looks of the E71s. As far as ride and handling, I found the E71s to be tighter, firmer and more solid steering and handling wise. The 8 speed transmission in the F86 is smoother though and overall more refined.
Coming from a 4.6 I think you'd be happier in a 2014, which was the last model year for the E71. You need to test drive them both. Good luck!
