Edit: i just googled it. Hard to tell in pics. I wish I could see them in the metal.
Yes the X5 above is Ruby black. BMW is offering individual colors for new 7.

Here's a Canadian M5 in Azurite black:

Does this mean the X6 grew on you or it's just your color combo choice?

I wonder if I might add a question to the owners here ( OK L?)

I was wondering about the headroom... am considering the M version when it arrives so whilst at the dealership went and sat in one, and noticeably had to duck my head to get in (not fun). I'm only 6 ft but found that if I didn't, would bash the side of my head on the roof.

L have you any thoughts?

Cheers

J

Of course you can ask a question..

I don't remember a difference in the head room getting in the front, but you have about 4 inches on me. I'll pay more attention the next time I'm at the dealer. Now the rear seat, that's a different story.

When I sat in X6's at the dealerships I would hit my head getting in. I had to reverse into them (I am 6'3) - not fun and was pretty sure I would hate the car from that moment on. However - now that I have one and have adjusted the seat to my liking (lowest setting) and have adjusted my entry procedure (tilt head when getting in) I have no problems at all getting in. Once inside I have plenty of space as well - I'd say atleast a 2 inch space between my head and the roof.

Just came back from a Chicago-Detroit-Chicago trip and I did not have any size related issues, nor any issue at all really

At 6'1", (well, I used to be ), I duck getting into our X and,I fold myself into our Vette if the top is up...
I have never found headroom a problem in any car, sans hat. I do bump my hip/skinny azz on the vertical door
jamb bulge on many cars, if I'm not paying attention.

L, you would look very good in an X6...course, you would look good
in a Yugo, too.

Thanks, mD. I think I'm going to do it. The X6, not the Yugo
