So if the X6 ends up being lighter (which it should be) with a better CofG and provide a similar amont of space to the E53 X5 then that would suit me fine. I only ever use 4-seats in my X5 so 4-seats is fine.

An X3 is too small, too ugly and has nowhere near enough road prescence.

By looking at the test mule photos, you could obviously notice that the X6 looks bigger than the E70 X5. Who knows? Maybe that's just an optical illusion. We'll never know how large it will be until we read it's first review.
