Saw the X6 in person
Went to the local dealer for an event for the 1 series and they had a couple of TT V6 X6’s on display (Black and Silver). Though X6’s were not available for test drive yet, it was absolutely worth it since it was my first time seeing the X6 in person.
The design is amazing! My FX pales in comparison. The X5 (Which I was/am considering) looked like a generic SUV in comparison. As much I love Black, this color hides a lot of the details of the car, the X6 looked better in silver. I was disappointed for not seeing it in VR or Space gray since these are the colors I’m leaning towards.
Space: I am 6’6” and fit very comfortably in the driver seat. The back seats are, as one would expect a different story, you need to be 6’ or shorter to fit. The trunk was surprisingly spacious.
Though this post does not provide new info, I am sharing my experience for those who have not seen the car in person and still on the fence. Not to mention, I’ve noticed a slow down in the activity on this forum
In summary: Pictures don’t do this car justice; the car is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait for a test drive…. The sales guy (which was very knowledgeable) said they’ll have them pretty soon!!
PS. For whatever its worth: The cars main demographics, based on the small sample I observed, are guys in their 30’s/40’s or empty nesters. No soccer moms!!
