There's no difference as far as I could tell, although the knee pads on the centre console make the space feel closer than in the X5.

It looks better in the metal, but even then its a difficult car to look at and understand. You need to see it in 3D or it doesn't always work, but I'm not joking in saying that it was the most...

Yes, the roof rails are optional and a dealer fit. I will consider them once I know the price (which is still unknown). You can see the channels in the roof on the last picture of the white 35d,...

I understand that the height is adjustable, so it doesn't have to go that high.

Hey, that's Geneva. I'm surprised I'm not in that photo, given the amount of time I spent around the car and asking questions.. :rofl:

Yes, sorry I should have mentioned. Rear cargo space was absolutely fine, bigger than a Cayenne and just as large and practical as the ML63 I used to have. Provided you're not comparing the maximum...

I hear what you're saying LeMans, but the senior BMW engineers I spoke with seemed certain that DPC would not feature on the X5 for several years to come. In their words "BMW have no plans to offer...

From the front it's not wow, since it looks almost identical to the X5 (I was told that the bonnet is the identical part number as in the X5), but from the rear and sides it really catches your...

Style 259s are the 5-spoke ones in the launch brochure. I stood looking at them both today and ultimately its a matter of personal preference, but with the 214s initially the X6 looked like part-X5...

I was over in Geneva and took some time to sit in the X6 and discuss BMW's plans with some of their lead engineers.

Palbay has single-handedly created more paperwork for my dealer than any previous transaction I've made. First I chose VR with 20" 259 wheels, then I changed the wheels to 20" 214s (after seeing...

Remember BMW are only planning to gain between 25% and 30% of the volume of X5 sales, so they have no intention of selling anywhere near as many cars as they would if it was an X5.

I will see for myself when I sit in one in a few weeks time, but at just over 1.5" less headroom than the X5 I'm not worried about space in the X6 - it strikes me as being on a par with the 5-series...

This is getting to be a real 'urban myth'. I haven't sat in one yet, but according to BMW's published figures the rear headroom in the X6 is 1.77" less than the X5.

Or to put that another way...

Setting aside the sound of a petrol engine which is much more pleasing than diesel, the other downside of diesel used to be its limited rev range.

The 35d has negated some of that disadvantage,...

The risk is too high to order a 35i without driving one, so I suspect most of the initial orders will be for the 35d. I drove hundreds of miles comparing the 35i and 35d engines in the 3-series, and...

I managed between 23 and 24 mpg in the X5 3.0sd (i.e. 35d) that I drove recently. There isn't a 35i engined X5, but I used to average between 18 and 19 mpg in my old X5 3.0i.

That ties with my original expectation that the X50i will be priced about the same as the Cayenne GTS.
