Good Pics, A! :thumbup:

Not letting people "sit" in the car? WTF...:confused:
Genius marketing there, imo. :rolleyes:

Great photos, I still don't think it looks that good.

You have all the bulk of the X5 and reduced room, what is the point?

It was a private party for the press, unlimited drinks and appetizers were served as well :nanana:

Drinks and appetizers are for all BMW owners visiting them.

You don't have all the bulk of the X5, the X6 looks smaller when you see it. That's one of the things that appeals to me, certainly in the UK where SUVs tend to be frowned upon based on how much size they occupy, the X6 doesn't cast the same size of shadow over other cars as the X5.

And why question "what's the point?". What's the point of an X5? Surely either a proper truck or Minivan/MPV would be more sensible, but we don't buy these cars just to conform to society's expectation of 'sensible'. We buy them because they suit our needs and we like them.

What's the point of a 3-series Coupe rather than Sedan? What's the point of a 6-series rather than a 5-series? Is there really an answer to that question either than "because we prefer it"?

:iagree: Not everybody likes the 6-series bloated butt. It bigger than 5-series but only has 2 doors. Why? Car companies don't spend millions and throw a new product in market without research and knowing that there is demand.

Looks like the same vehicle they displayed at the Detroit Show. At Detroit they let people sit in both of the vehicles. Incidently, I was negative on the X6 until I saw it up close. I've yet to see a picture that properly portrays the vehicle. Sometimes I think BMW has the worse photographers available. Your pictures are much better than the garbage they included in both the press release and the brochure.
