New X6 Photo's including XDrive50i Fresh From The Factory
 
Hey guys.I hit the lotto at the BMW Factory today! X6's crawling all over the place.My luggage was lost on a canceled flight last night.Had to wait at the local airport today for a Flight w/ my luggage.Rather than wait an hour at the airport or go back home, I decided to see what was happening at the plant.The Airport is right next door to the plant.The White X6 was upclose to the plant and the two guys inside were messing w/ the center console.The wheels were pretty neat.The line of X6's following the Z4 is pretty interesting.I'm certain this was a group of Auto Journalist,Dealers,or some other VIP's.Somebody was getting an early look and test drive of the X6. I think this might have been 2 35i's and 2 50i's,given the 2 back grills and 2 chrome grills.But all of this cars seemed to have the rounded exhaust tips which would indicate the 35i's.I think BMW might be trying to fake us out until launch.These cars proceeded directly to the Performance Center.I found a place to catch a few pic's of the X6's on the track.Whoever was driving these cars were hammering the heck out of these babies!!! The exhaust note of these X6's were awesome.If these were the 35i's, and I'm pretty sure they were,BMW has really upped the growl of the TT I6.The Red X6 is the first XDrive50i I've seen anywhere around here.You can clearly see the rectangle exhaust tips,a TT V-8 for sure.Of course this "heavy metal" was sneaking in BMW's local "Skunk Works",the "Special Vehicle Operations" Bld.I got to find out what goes on in there.The Silver X6 was not part of the Performance Center group.Not sure where it was heading.I thought I had settled on Black as my favorite color,but the Silver sure is looking good!!This might take several post. Enjoy! Thanks. PalBay

palbay you are now officially X6 World #1 photographer.
Great work in getting these pics, I appreciate the time you took to get these.
Which colour would you say looks best on the X6?

Nice sleuth work and pics!
Thanks...
I like the sliver one, and the white one...
Those lower valence underbumper light pod deals look
like cheesy StarTrek ray gun mounts, from a distance though, :confused: ...:rofl:

palbay, Great work once again. May I suggest watermarking your pics. Your last pics were at several auto websites and I am sure some you are not even aware. You may replace Lehmann. ;)

Palbay - awesome pictures as always. I totally agree, you need to watermark your pictures. I was surfing the other night and came upon one of your pics. I was like, I seen that before and it dawn on me that it was you. You need credit for the awesome pictures.

Look at it this way, you may have found your other calling.
