When I order a car and have time to kill I end up exploring every little minutia of my decision and then changing my decision a dozen more times. I like to make sure my salesman really works for his...

No, I'm going to go with those Style 214 Y-spoke wheels in 20" (£895 factory option).

Using mine (and my sons') crap photoshop skills we created a montage of wheel options. I think that the 214 Y-Spoke wheels better balance the weight of the bodyshell, so will change my order to suit.

I have gone for 'Dark Ash Trim' which isn't available in the US and was the darkest wood I could choose. I don't like aluminium trim since it looks cold and stark, would much prefer either a CF trim...

palbay, I'd be eternally grateful if you could get a better picture of that Black X6 with its 20" Style 214 wheels. Your first pics made me rethink my order and I'd like a clearer shot just to...

Well I take your point if you're comparing maximum interior volumes, but then wasn't it inevitable that the X6 would be smaller in that regard?

I use the 'fridge carrying' ability of my SUVs once...

No, the trunk is considerably larger than the X3. X3 has 480 litres of space compared to the X6 with 570 litres, and the E53 X5 with 460 litres. E70 has 620 litres.

35i vs 35d engines

Right then, exhaustive comparison completed. I used the 3-series to perform a comparison between the 35i and 35d engines and help me decide which to go for on the X6.

I had on loan today a 335d...

Extract from BMW's dealer mktg material

Looks a little loaded in some respects and doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know.

It worked for the Rover P5 back in the 1960s, so its not a new thing. And use of the word 'Coupe' on the X6 does reflect the original meaning of the term (i.e. a cut design).

I agree, either Saphire Black or one of the blues would be useful. I wonder if anyone will be brave enough to try it in white?
