8.35min around the 'Ring..
 

I had to smile when I read about the X6's ring lap time in the press material yesterday. BMW were comparing it with the Maserati 3200GT and claiming that the X6 was 2 seconds faster around the infamous 'Ring. Priceless, just what I need it for..

We're aiming to upload a video and first drive of the X6 to our site next Monday, and just trying to sort out a deal to keep an X6 at the office for a few days next week. Meanwhile mine has arrived in the country but I can't take delivery until 31st May when the official customer launch is run. :popcorn:

p.s. I am delighted to say that I now have an official X6 model on my desk, compliments of BMW's press launch. And it's Vermilion Red too..

Did you order V6tt or V8tt? Looking forward to your review!

Well I suppose 'technically' speaking I ordered the twin-turbo six cylinder, although diesel (35d) rather than petrol (35i).

BMW will be keeping my car locked away for two weeks whilst we wait for the customer launch, unless I can persuade them otherwise. :stickpoke , but we're trying to sort one of the press cars to be in our hands next week when we can do a more comprehensive review and let the rest of our team drive it.

We can see model pics till you get your VR X6.;)
