I have a production number
Well boys and girls, I pulled the trigger today and ordered my 2010 X6 50i. Performance Center Delivery is November 13th. :D
Black Sapphire Brushed Aluminum Trim Black Nappa Leather including Dash Comfort seats Sports Package (I did the 19s so I don't have to screw with changing tires for winter) Cold Weather Package Premuim Package Premium Sound Rear Climate Rear view camera with top view Running boards Comfort Access Space saver spare Sat radio And last but not least PERFORMANCE UPGRADE :zoom: 440 horses, thank you! I just need to decide on the term of the lease. I did 24 months on the E70 - too short. I really like the E70 and wouldn't have a problem with driving it another year. I'm leaning towards 30 months. Let the torture of waiting begin. |
How exciting, L! It's going to be a very long 10 weeks!
|
You're not kidding. I drove a 50i for the first time today. OMG! The exhaust note is sweet. It growls. :p: The throttle response is much different than my X5, and this was a 2009, it didn't have the performance package.
I'm so excited! |
Congrats, L!
Damn...PC Delivery in SC, (about an hourish from our Mtn Joint), and we are migrating to FL that weekend. :( I want a ride in that sumbitch; I think I'll have to take a number... ;) GL,mD |

somehow. I wish we were "home" during your trip to SC to pick it up, so we could hook up. |
Way to go L! Hopefully you have enough time before the snow flies to enjoy the 440 to the max.

real snow, that early, going back up I-95, etc., are slim to none. A little further west and, a lot higher, you might see some, but I think you will be fine. I miss my ol' leased co. cars, though none of them were in the X6 category. |
I knew L was gonna say that. Man I'm Jealous.......;)

No doubt the girl has good taste.
Younger and rich a combination that can't be beat....... |
Yipeee! Happy for you.

Aw crap I'm just a few hundred miles too far north from SC and 70mi too far west from I-95. :(. Or maybe if it's a weekend I can ride down to Richmond, or I could do my trip to NC. :D
Congrats though! PCD will be tons of fun. I-85 is a good drive too. Virginia autobahn anyone? |
Performance package... :drool:
Dibs on ride number 2 ... :D ... |
L, you'll need to find something to do for the next 10 weeks. Posting on here will be somewhat helpful, but the wait will be torture. Congrats on the new beast!!! As always, keep the peanut gallery posted......Phil

Thanks all. I am excited. I don't think I'm going to be anal and track the status. It's a mute point, I won't get it any faster due to the Performance Center Delivery. The anticipation makes the experience better. I took my E70 off the lot and there was just something missing without the wait. |
congrats, good luck on the wait!

Quote:
It's still in "ordered" status: :banghead: How long does it take for the status to change? :tapping: I can't lock into the PCD date I requested, or any other date for that matter, until I'm in 112 status. They told me they wanted at least 8 weeks lead time to do PCD. I did 10 weeks to make sure I got the date I wanted. Are they holding back because they don't need to build it yet? So much for not tracking. I just added the link to my favorites :rofl: |
DOH! congrats... :thumbup:
I have a feeling that you will redefine the word "impatience" while waiting :) |

As for the twisties, when you get back into the NY/NJ area...The Merit Pkway in CT is fun, as is the Taconic Pkway in NY, plus any Harriman State Park road (from Route 17 in Sloatsburg, NY through Monroe NY.) The Saw Mill past the Tappan Zee is also fun.
Enjoy it! :woohoo: Tic-Toc till delivery :popcorn: |

So in about 10 weeks should we can start calling you cmyX6go? Just a caviat, it gets lonely in this forum. Congrats :thumbup:

Surely there's a new pair of shoes going down to SC for the delivery....:D

I still haven't decided on the term of the lease. Originally I was leaning towards 30 months, so I'd be up in May. Spring is a great time for a new ride. But me thinks I'm going like this bad boy and may want to go a full 3 years. Decisions........decisions :dunno: |

Ironically enough I recently did some maintenance work on an 09 X6 5.0i with the full leather dash etc. Pretty much exactly what you are getting but without the performance package. That thing is sweet as hell and one I would love to drive everyday!
I'm still waiting for the first X6M to be delivered to the dealer, and if I know the big boos man dealership owner it will be black on black and his demo! (must be nice to choose whatever you want to drive) |

The X6M I sat in at the dealer (and refused to test drive :rofl:) was for the owner too. |

I'm torn...
I'm seriously considering changing my trim from brushed aluminum to bamboo. :dunno:
I'm getting a bit spooked by all the posts lately about easily it gets marked. |
Stick with the aluminium. Brightens up the interior and gives it some contrast.
http://www.qtl.co.il/img/copy.pnghttp://www.google.com/favicon.icohttp://www.babylon.com/favicon.ico |
As much as I love the aluminum, it looks clean and sporty... But the ebony stained woods have a real soft spot with me. I absolutely love the black stained woodgrain whether it is the burl wood of the bamboo. Has a more warm feeling than the aluminum.
I guess it all depends on what your preference is... the clean contrast of the brushed aluminum, or the blended warmth of the dark wood. Either way you will love it as soon as you are sitting in the new beast looking at it so there is no bad choice between the two. |
Quote:
Do yo know what style wheels you are getting? |
Quote:
This damn trim choice is really getting to me. I keep changing my mind. I think the aluminum will look great, especially once I get my pedals. It's a nice contrast like Weas and Matt said. Bottom line, do I try something different or take the safe route? Today the choice is try something different. Let's see how I feel tomorrow. 8 weeks from today I'll be driving that bad boy home. |
Bamboo :thumbup:
I'd be concerned with the posts too - for me I figure it's only a matter of time till I scratch it up myself - then I'd be like DOH... I knew that was going to happen. Maybe go back an look at how bad the pics look of the aluminum trim that is scratched most and see if you think you would be ok with it looking like that. Good you still have some time to work this out. Excited for you, pretty cool! |
Quote:
|
True, I hadn't thought of it that way. Then the day after picking it up you can start deliberating what's next and if it gets scratched (still trying to take great care of it of course) you aren't so emotionally attached that it matters a great deal. Smart. A bit more $ to go this way but you get that great new car smell frequently and get to drive the newest and greatest if you want. So it sounds like you might have your answer?
|
Quote:
I do take good care of my cars even though they are leased. If I bought used, I'd want to get one of my lease turn ins. I'm not too concerned with little dings and scratches, but I will be replacing the trim if it gets nasty. Like I said, today Aluminum wins. Can't promise what tomorrow may bring. :rofl: |
Well only (approx) 1344 hours to go then, tick... tick... tick... !
|
So how did you like your current X5?

You can check available styles here Select Light aloy wheels for X6 to see 19" options. Style 212 http://accessories.bmw.com/internet_...imageVersion=1 Style 232 http://accessories.bmw.com/internet_...imageVersion=1 |
My favorite wheels for the X6 are the Style 259s. Don't know if they're available in the US.
I like it how BMW AG charges extra for real aluminium or wood trim and a moonroof for the €58k X6. |
Quote:
http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s...6/DSCN2902.jpg |
The Style 257s are another option but those are the base wheels of the X6 5.0i in the US, so I don't know if that floats your boat.

I'd say get the smaller cheaper base rims for winters, and by the time spring comes around again you may be itchin for some 21" 215's or 275's anyways. :wow:
|
I like the X6, sorta...esp. in certain colors, but I am surprised the
wheel offerings are so hmmmm, unless one goes to 20s. But, I wanna ride in L's big HP car one of these months! GL,mD |

If you want a quick visualiser just click on the wheel designs: BMW X6 : Außenausstattung If you want to be very, very special, the Individual wheels are 19" as well, style 265. Might be pricey. |
Thanks Matt. I'm waiting to hear back which 19" wheel comes standard with the sports package. Unless I hate them, I'll keep them. I could live with the 258s or the 232s.
EDIT: I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Dealer said they don't have the info yet on which wheels will be standard. Maybe they'll have a new style.... |
20" with all season rubber will be just fine in NJ-NY winter in your area.

I run 20's on 295/Vredestien Wintrac's on my 4.6iS. There's a fella in my parking garage with a 50i on staggered all-season 20's. He says he has no issues driving in snow...i know a couple people that tried running a similar set-up as the X6 on their 4.8iS but it failed miserably in snow...must be those wonderful upgraded electronics :D
|
But if I change the order to 20s, they come with performance tires. I'll have to buy a set of all seasons. I can't swap them out because of the PCD delivery, they will already have 600+ miles on them.
I'll just stick with the 19s, until the bug gets me somewhere around April 2010 when I decide I want summer shoes. :rofl: |
Congrats L. I'm only about 20 days late to the party. :D

Congrats, cmyX50go! I also have a 2010 X6 5.0 with just about all options, including active ventilated seats and active steering, in mineral silver. Still in 112 order status, but have been told by my dealer that product should begin in week 43 (which is next week). I don't think that will happen, but at least it should be built by end of November. I decided to go with the 19" wheels with all seasons RFT's with the sport package instead of the 20" performance RFT's since I'll have to drive into northern Michigan several times a year. I've done extensive research on the new generation 3 Bridgestone RFT's that are going to be put on most of the 2010 BMW line of vehicles, and it looks promising...at least better than the crap that Bridgestone was making before.

L, I'm surprised you didn't take a look at the 2010 Jag XJL Supercharged Neiman Marcus Edition. It's a must have for the people with fashion ;) The 50 of them probably already sold out, if previous BMW-Neiman Marcus models have been any indicator. Comes with 470 bhp, Celestial Black metallic paint, and most importantly, a 5-piece set of Jaguar luggage in navy.

L, this thread will go down in history. Who would've thought that having a production number would lead to 190 + post. I think your style :cheer: and the fact that you're a woman that can talk horsepower with the guys, has changed the game around here. Once you post pictures, I'm going to lobby to make this a sticky. We've gotta see if one of the fellas with a production number will top this......Phil

I think I'm getting old; a fair number of the time, I just want a luxury cruiser that soaks up bumps and is driven slowly. A BMW just isn't a car that I can really relax in nor drive slowly. But that's a topic for another thread another day. |

Not sure if it's the PCD experience or the ride itself. I've wanted the X6 from the first minute I saw it at the market survey thing I participated in. My goofy friend Tina is coming with me. She already thinks I'm sick. Just wait until I tell her she has to play Joe Photographer so I have pics for all my BMW buddies. She will never let me live down not being able to decide between Jet Black and Black Sapphire Metallic. Non car people just don't get it. 28 days TICK TICK TICK |
