different rims ? They are same style. They are staggard and therefore rear 11" wide wheel is deeper. X5 have the same deal for years.

I have to agree that the rims are different not just size but the style as well.

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.

Nice pictures. Is X6 overall dimension smaller than X5, length, width, track and wheel base etc? The front kidney grill doesn't look Concept CS inspired, more like ordinary X5 style?
