Talking UK Spec 2011 X6 Xdrive40d

No white angel eyes on the 2011 models so far - even in Europe. I now have my X6 Xdrive40d and can safely say it's a seriously impressive piece of machinery. Quiet, very quick, very comfortable with the new Comfort Seats, spacious and the 8 speed transmission is the smoothest I have ever driven. The economy is better than my 2005 E53 3.0d even though the X6 is nearly 100kgs heavier and almost 80bhp up on power, plus emissions are lower so moving it down a couple of annual car tax bands. It's even cheaper to insure too .

The 35d was impressive, but the 40d is a surprisingly fast car. With the same engine (though slightly de-tuned and single turbo) and transmission due to come into the new X3 in Europe in April 2011, BMW now have a family of really useable and very 'driveable' for enthusiasts SUV/SAV cars.
