My point is that you're negatively debating the purpose and future of a vehicle that wasn't designed for you. And on what basis? Because you feel it's fugly and you don't see many in SoCal? Regardless of how you or I may personally feel...at the end of the day, it doesn't matter...we aren't the demo...I'm sure members: chonko; dmlgc; and countless others on this board can better explain why their wallets voted for the X6. And you cannot compare public companies who made greedy and horrible bets to a privately run company like BMW. Obviously, they aren't infallible...They may not have the resources of, for example Mercedes, during tough times, but they've made smarter decisions and that is the obvious fact...so i guess we agree to disagree.

^^Important to remember that the X6 5.0 was built 'to exceed' the performance threshold, eg 'be sportier' than the X5 4.8i that preceeded it.
This will not be the case with the ///X5M and ///X6M as they will have virtually identical performance (analogous to the M6 and the M5). If you would drive an X6M faster than an X5M, it's the man, not the machine making that decision. Basically it's going to come down to how much space you want, and which one you prefer the looks of. Edit: IMO, if one can swing $80k'ish for an X5M, one can swing $90+k'ish (based on the speculation above about a $10K delta) for an X6M - aka, they're aimed at the same fiscal demographic. My $.02

Just for comparison, lets remember that the E53 4.8is was a monster. It was fast, handled great and had 360hp.
So this new variation of X5 performance edition will have 190hp more than the last performance edition.... I hope those brakes are damned good Are we sure about the $80k base price? That's lower than I expected.. Lower than the current M5's... Isn't it?

EDIT: and I agree with HIRISC, if you can afford an X5 M, you can afford the X6 M, so the economic demographic shouldn't be a factor. Last edited by x5GuyInLA; 04-09-2009 at 09:24 PM. |

Yeah, the Options! You can estimate based on price of these options on other M models.

1) Cold weather package - Is this heated front seats? Rear seats and steering wheel?
2) Rear Climate Package - Is that sun shades or heated rear seats? 3) Premium Sound - how decent will be the standard sound? how much is this upgrade? 4) Active Ventilated Seat - Nice - I like it. 5) Driver Assistance Package - What is that? Laser cruise control? 6) Space Saver Spare - What is that? That's an option? 7) Satellite Radio - Yes please 8) Comfort Access - Not only useless, but annoying.
