The VR is actually one of the post popular colors out there for the X6.

I actually really like the VR. I usually hate red cars with a passion, but I think that it has a level of class to its color.

Not like I'm running out to buy an E70, but if I were... VR would be #2 to special ordering Carbon Black. (IMO)

The color to have for an X6, but absolutely horrid on the X5 imo. Might look marginally better with the aero kit.
