This is common in test vehicles.

Its just easier for them to do test a staggered set up... Rather than make a test rim in different sizes they just make different rims at different sizes which gives them more combinations at lower cost...

We need a new name for this category. Take the concept of an SUV, which was a crossover vehicle to start with. Morph it into an SAV when BMW designed the X5. Morph that into a coupe, but add B pillars, then subtract the Activity and the Utility because it has 'severely limited cargo and rear passenger space'. You now have a lifted up sport coupe. What acronym should be applied to that? Perhaps it is an SLV?

It's sad to see the focus on style over function from BMW.

I agree...not a great first sighting. Though the wheels will make a huge difference as they do to the X5.

I think it looks terrible, but at least it's not useful.

Cerberus will be relieved that the Jeep Compass is no longer the dumbest car in America.

Yes, I was sleeping. I don't get paid for this. Although, my contacts did email me about these pics at 3:16 am my time. Lucky you.

X6 is longer, wider and sits lower than X5. Wheel base is same.

BMW had a change of mind. CS style grill will begin with F01 7-series. Although they may include in X6 M.
