Way to test the handling.

hmmm, not so sure about it again now.
warmed to it again last week when I saw the first roadtest pics, but these pics don't warm my cockles :rofl:
those guys in the pic are either 9' tall or the X6 is way lower than I was expecting ?

That is the camera angle, if you notice. The guy taking pics has to be holding camera lower. Check the pic from Frankfurt show with Adrian Hooydonk standing next to X6, and he is a tall guy.

Thanks for the obvious :thumbup:

Got to love the trailer hitch BMW loves to plop on the back off all testers :rofl:

Will those Black 'go faster stripes' be available as an option i wonder ???

I think they look rather fetching :rofl:

X6 really needs to be in a light color and those E70 20s to look good.

Thanks for the scoop LM. The pics are pretty cool.

The Frankfurt charcoal black colour is my favourite at the moment absolutely stunning. The Hybrid colour didn't do it for me.

Boston X5 4.4 11-19-2007 01:48 PM

Looks like a 'roided 3i8ti in the last pic

If only car manufacturers would make these concept versions, it would be a win win scenario for all. Why do they have to ****ing tweak it!
They know how to make drop dead gorgeous cars, why oh why don't they just do it?

BMW, if you're reading i'm looking to trade in a ML63AMG for one of these beauties, so you better make it good or my ££££ will stay with MB, capiche?
I also drive a 650ciSport so I know what i'm talking about!

Please,please,please don't let us all down with a watered down production version :iagree:

Change the rear view mirrors to the ones like X5 and add the B and C pillars and you pretty much got the production version. The high end ///M version will be much better looking.

Hey Simon, good to see you on here (DoctorD from MBWorld - also with ML63). I am also hoping to trade my ML63 against an X6, but will be struggling to trade down from that wonderful 6.2L engine. I'm not sure if I should just cut my losses and stop buying big petrol-engined SUVs and go for the twin-turbo diesel (or hybrid), or whether I would be seduced by the turbo V8 or V10...

Need to see more of the X6, but I am first in the queue at my dealer.

sirees01 11-20-2007 01:45 PM

Hi Steved,

Still have the ML then, did you get any joy with a trade in price?
I fear I will be lucky to get £55k when it comes to offloading against an X6.

Looks nice in prototype form doesn't it :thumbup:
Good to hear from you.

Simon, in my twisted logic I was struggling to motivate myself to sell the ML and ended up buying an Audi RS4 Avant to show me what a folly it is to own an SUV. Unfortunately the ML63 is a better (and quicker) car, so that didn't work.

I received a valuation of around £57k on my ML, which has covered 17k miles now, but I can see that figure dropping further..
