This is common in test vehicles.

Its just easier for them to do test a staggered set up... Rather than make a test rim in different sizes they just make different rims at different sizes which gives them more combinations at lower cost...

We need a new name for this category. Take the concept of an SUV, which was a crossover vehicle to start with. Morph it into an SAV when BMW designed the X5. Morph that into a coupe, but add B pillars, then subtract the Activity and the Utility because it has 'severely limited cargo and rear passenger space'. You now have a lifted up sport coupe. What acronym should be applied to that? Perhaps it is an SLV?

It's sad to see the focus on style over function from BMW.

...i don't get it...

hope better pics surface, cuz i'm ;puke;

im with you .... i dont know whats going on,, it looks cheap , i didnt

expect it to look like that ,, ill wait until its official to make my final judgement ....

I agree...not a great first sighting. Though the wheels will make a huge difference as they do to the X5.

I think it looks terrible, but at least it's not useful.

Cerberus will be relieved that the Jeep Compass is no longer the dumbest car in America.

Those fog lights are straight from the Cayman. :damn:

I did notice this...

Yes, I was sleeping. I don't get paid for this. ;) Although, my contacts did email me about these pics at 3:16 am my time. Lucky you.:rofl:

X6 is longer, wider and sits lower than X5. Wheel base is same.

BMW had a change of mind. CS style grill will begin with F01 7-series. Although they may include in X6 M. :dunno:

X6 is Sports Acitvity Coupe- aka SAC per BMW.
