I fail to see anything wrong with that beauty. I wish they made the X5 in that color.

I would TOTALLY get that colour on an X5, X6, M3, Z4 or maybe even an M5. It is hot....and I am not a red kinda guy usually!! Just hot!!!!

My E92 was Crimson Red. First red vehicle I ever owned.

Wowzers. STUNNING!!

Pretty, but it's a double cop-magnet... BMW grill AND bright red.

That is like sex on your face!!! LOVE IT !!!

I love red cars... my favorite color :)

There is no color that can make that car look good, imo. I would much rather have 2 e9x M3's.

WRONG

Xoutpost fail.

X6 = BMW fail, imo. Sorry guys.

Your gonna have to explain your self after some negative hate post like that. What's not to like? You don't like the ass end?

Yes, everything about the rear is what bothers me most. I personally think it looks horrible from any angle. Straight on rear, 3 quarter rear, etc. Bad from literally every angle, imo. The side profile is just slightly better, but the front is beautiful. Basically, it only looks good in your rearview mirror, you know, when it looks like an X5.

The styling of the X6 has grown on me, more so than the 5GT (ugh!). I did see two big downsides with the X6, one the lack of rear visibility, and two, if you need a large vehicle for utility, go for the X5, especially now with matching engines. I don't really see the point of the X6.

OTOH, the X6M I drove at the BMW Performance Center was an impressive drive, other than a VERY harsh 3-2 downshift. It was THE same X6 used in One Lap of America. Although the X5 50i seems to have 95% of the usable performance and handling, at a lower cost and more day to day civility.

:iagree:

If I'm buying a large SUV I expect it to at least seat 5 and be somewhat useful behind the 2nd row seat...

:iagree:

I like the x6 if it were my personal car, but we needed the space for our family so the x5 it is....

Love it!!

The X6 never looked good and it's actually more hideous to my eyes than when it first appeared. Thankfully, there aren't many of them on the streets around here.

Think of the vehicles a person would have to say "no" to before arriving at that. "No, I won't have an M3". "No I won't have a Jag XF-R". "No I won't have a Chevy Corvette."

Now someone's got to find a way to rid the streets of the X6's japanese cousin, the Honda Crosstour that I do see around here.

only looks good from certain angles... the rear slope really kills it. The Acura ZDX is just as bad.

Anyway, the color is hot.

Where's the love? :rolleyes: I get :thumbup: everywhere I go. To each his own but don't hate on me. :mad:

I think it's hot in red but would never do it. Too much of an attention getter. I agree on the double cop magnet.

Exactly. I wanted either an X6 or a 550i. But with our daughter, my wife stressed to me that the extra room was a must. We just took our first weekend getaway in it last weekend. She was right. Our belongings are so much easier to transport in the X5. But damn, everytime I see one of the new 5 series, I get a tear in my eye .....
