looking for advice of which to buy

This may seem ridiculous to some but Im struggling with this decision.

2 2012 X6's both black on black with every option.

1 is 35i and located close enough for a quick flight and 5 hour drive home. Has 1 year and 15k miles left on primary warranty then 2yr CPO.

2nd is X6M 45k miles and 11 months left on original warranty no CPO - 1500 miles away so will ship.

M is 10k more than 35i - I owned a 2009 X6 5.0 and just sold it - loved the car and I do like the way the 35i handles (wife has 35i X5 2012) so would be happy with that one but the question is - is M worth 10k and less warranty?? I know I will be stoked on the power but its not like I get to race it and I hear that maintenance is costly.

Any advice is welcome - I know that many hate the X6 but I love it!!

dude!!!

M is not a car - it is a lifestyle... it will cost more, give you more headaches... makes no financial sense at all.. but it is still - M

going from 5.0 to 3.5... if you are fine with it, it makes total financial sense (as much a bmw can make financial sense at all)...


I went from 4.6iS to 4.8iS... just could not part with E53, so to say... lol...

Try other M vehicles

I agree with and will echo TerminatorX5's eloquent statement about 'M' as a lifestyle and attitude, not practicality or economy....

Since your wife already has a X5 SAV, why not consider what ard is suggesting.... Test drive a BMW M4, M5 and M6 and see what it is like really fun rear-wheel driving M cars.

Good luck
