I failed to mention that there is a black 50i and a VR 35i in my neighborhood. Recently, i was behind a (sinister-looking-black) 50i...turned out we were heading to the same destination. She was perfectly tinted and dropped just right...It had to be the best theme-looking X6 i've seen in person to date.
I believe BMW definitely exceeded expectations with the X6 and will at least meet expectations with the ///M variant. North America accounts for half of X6 sales...and i believe the number of X6's i've already seen is manifest. Funny thing, even friends tell me about their X6 sightings.
If you're not feeling the X6, i challenge you to test-drive (preferably the 50i)...it should convince you. If it doesn't win you over on it's sheer marvel and put a

on your face, then i rest my case...
