X6M over X5M
Had a crazy thought yesterday.. Maybe I should get the X6M instead of the X5M.
Lets be honest, it's a better looking vehicle. Wheels are better and I understand it handles better also. I don't have kids but am worried about giving up that 5th seat.. Am I crazy for even thinking about asking my salesman if he could switch my order? Please, talk me out of it...

A sale is a sale...he shouldn't mind...they can always find a buyer for your slot.
However, while the handing might be a smudge better, the utility of the X5M to me is worth only 97% of the handling of the X6M. Your first answer/thought/gut feeling is typically the right one....stay with the X5M! Good Luck and can't wait to see pics and mods??

I sat in one Saturday. I'm glad it was pouring out or I would have taken it for a spin. I say go for it B.  Take it for a drive.How often will you need 5 seats?

I drove and also sat in the back seat of an X6M a few days ago. In terms of 5 vs. 6, don't get the 6 if you plan to have any six-footers sit in the back seat for any period of time -- the back seat head room in the X6 is not designed for six-footers.

You really think the X6 is a better looking vehicle?? It's one of those things you either really like or really hate, and I have to say the latter! It's a crossover! Not a car, not a van, not a wagon, not an SUV...just something undecided in-between. Every now and then, manufacturers create a fad and while it may be hot when it comes out, nobody could care less about it in a couple of years. It belongs in the same category as the Infiniti FX. If you don't need the cargo space and you don't have kids, then why get somethng that looks like a big beefed up car that's jacked up! Get an M5 instead. Otherwise stick with something that's going to be a classic SUV/SAV and one that will smoke the pants of any other...including the Porshe Potato Turbo And while you're at it, get custom plates that say PRSHETR!

And X6 has less cargo room... And the 5th seat... Dont forget the "utility" factor. Last thing... once you get X5M at your door, you will forget about this "decision"...

The resale value down the road doesn't matter anyway. Just one of the joys of leasing. The residuals must be close for both X5M and X6M, if not the same.
