Cool BMW X6 Convertible

I realize it is a longshot . . . but if enough people start talking about a possible BMW X6 convertible . . . maybe someday, I could have my dream car.

Fast, AWD for Minnesota winters, sporty, elevated driving position, safe, good looking . . . I want a BMW X6 convertible!

Attention BMW: please, please, please let me get what I want . . .

A BMW X6 Convertible.



(p.s. Don't forget the heated steering wheel )

High center of gravity and roofless body. Hmmm...

Well at least the standard X6 would no longer be the dumbest vehicle in America.

wow, vote for most helpful comment this year! Thanks Mr. Sniffles! It is good to see you don't rush to judgement. You must be a super genius!

Guys, I don't want to race the thing. I want one vehicle to do it all. Obviously, there are not enough real convertible lovers here. The X6 will have a lower center of gravity than the X5. How many of us have rolled our X5s? With the top down, the center of gravity would be lower. In the summer, I could enjoy top down driving in the safest convertible on the planet. If a Z4 convertible crashed into my X6 convertible, guess who would come out on top. Active roll bars would be standard in a BMW X6 convertible. After enjoying any day over 50 degrees with the top down, I could drive the same vehicle through a snowstorm. Heck, I just might put the top down during the snowstorm.

I feel like the first guy who said the earth is round. It is easy to criticize an idea that seems "crazy", but what good are all the two seat convertibles to a man with a wife and two kids.

I used to drive convertibles until an Expedition turned a corner and I saw the bumper coming right at my head. There was no accident; I just felt less safe in a low riding convertible. At the time, I realized my young children need me alive and able to function better than a knee-jerk critic. I love top-down driving like a biker loves his harley.

My post began with the words, "I realize it is a longshot . . ." CAN YOU READ?

Although I am fully aware BMW does not plan to build a convertible version of the X6, I just wanted to see if any others shared my dream of a safe (unlikely to roll over), large, powerful, sporty SAV/SAC/SUV convertible.

I understand many people have no use for such a vehicle. Thomas Edison's neighbor thought the light bulb was a dumb idea. Candles worked fine. Mr. Snotty said that Edison's diagram was the dumbest sketch ever posted at www.lanternworld.com.

After driving an X5 for over seven years, I have never come close to rolling over due to its high center of gravity. I would be perfectly happy with a BMW X6 convertible.

I apologize to those who are offended by my dumb idea. If you cannot think outside the box, and your neuron gaps function at dial up speed, you may never enjoy the fun of toying around with new ideas.

This forum was born when roadfly tried to suppress the thoughts and ideas (and porn ) of some of the founding members. I know vinuneuro knows all about it. Comments like Mr. SNIFFLES vote for dumbest post of the year are lame, unnecessary, annoying, show a complete lack of imagination, and serve to drive away newbies with very innocent questions.

Rant is over. Go in peace.
