Do you know if the X5 and the X6 are nearly the same ?

Meaning that X5 wheels will fit the X6 ones and vice versa ?

Thanks.

Not sure yet. Although they are using X5 20" Style 214 for X6, but it could still be different.
X6 wheel styles (more coming for M-sport pack)
128 - 21"
214 - 20"
232 - 19"
257 - 19"
258 - 19"
259 - 20"

So who's going to be first to retrofit the paddle shifters to an E70?

Panoramic roof?
X6 is a coupe, not an SAV. Nor sedan or wagon.
Coupe with panoramic roof? No, no no.

Why, why why?

Look at the porsche targa, WAY smaller than the X6 and that roof is more panoramic than the X5!

This car is supposed to be a fusion of a coupe and an SUV (coupe with 4 doors? No, no no). So why not include a roof that will just help propel it ahead of the competition?

If they really are going 'all-out' for performance, a targa roof reduces chassis stiffness by a lot.

LM,
Interesting...no "standard" IL 6.
Diff. mkt., I suppose.

Imperial gallon?! For a US view, take the
estimated Imp Gal mpg and multiply by .833 or so.
