The silver looks very sporty on the X6, better than Space Grey, but Vermilion also looks sporty. I feel the X6 needs a sporty colour otherwise it looks too businesslike.
My other favourite in your pictures is the troop of 4 X6's following the Z4. That's a great photo showing the family resemblance and also how much presence the X6 has on the road.
Now, about the sound you refer to. I'm in an eternal dilemma whether to stick with the 35d that I've ordered or switch to the 35i. Common sense says stay with the diesel (which I'm not a great fan of), but your mention of the 35i sounding good is making me doubt that decision (again!).
Could you perhaps elaborate a little more on the sound? (are you sure you weren't listening to the 50i going around the circuit?) |
Steved,I appreciate the nice comments.Glad to help w/ your decision,these things are expensive!I cannot for sure confirm that all the X6's on the track were 35i's.Although the line of X6's had two black and two chrome grills,I cannot say I had the presence of mind to look at the tailpipes as this parade when by.I was expecting to maybe see 1 X6 come through this drive.I about pooped in my pants when this convoy drove by!!!!! I have not seen a 50i anywhere until the pic of the red one going in the gate.That does not mean that BMW did not build a couple to show to whoever these VIP's were.The one good pic of the X6 on the track seemed to be a 35i based on the tailpipes.At the location I was standing next to the track,the cars were moving so fast I was having trouble just getting a few decent shots w/ my digital camera. I just could not get enough of a look to confirm the exact type of X6.If there were two 35i's and two 50i's on the track,it was very hard to distinguish the difference in the sound from where I was standing.I know that's not much to sink your teeth into.I'll keep my ears open for the exhaust notes.Thanks.Palbay
