Hey guys.I hit the lotto at the BMW Factory today! X6's crawling all over the place.My luggage was lost on a canceled flight last night.Had to wait at the local airport today for a Flight w/ my luggage.Rather than wait an hour at the airport or go back home, I decided to see what was happening at the plant.The Airport is right next door to the plant.The White X6 was upclose to the plant and the two guys inside were messing w/ the center console.The wheels were pretty neat.The line of X6's following the Z4 is pretty interesting.I'm certain this was a group of Auto Journalist,Dealers,or some other VIP's.Somebody was getting an early look and test drive of the X6. I think this might have been 2 35i's and 2 50i's,given the 2 back grills and 2 chrome grills.But all of this cars seemed to have the rounded exhaust tips which would indicate the 35i's.I think BMW might be trying to fake us out until launch.These cars proceeded directly to the Performance Center.I found a place to catch a few pic's of the X6's on the track.Whoever was driving these cars were hammering the heck out of these babies!!! The exhaust note of these X6's were awesome.If these were the 35i's, and I'm pretty sure they were,BMW has really upped the growl of the TT I6.The Red X6 is the first XDrive50i I've seen anywhere around here.You can clearly see the rectangle exhaust tips,a TT V-8 for sure.Of course this "heavy metal" was sneaking in BMW's local "Skunk Works",the "Special Vehicle Operations" Bld.I got to find out what goes on in there.The Silver X6 was not part of the Performance Center group.Not sure where it was heading.I thought I had settled on Black as my favorite color,but the Silver sure is looking good!!This might take several post. Enjoy! Thanks. PalBay
