I had the time of my life yesterday. What a great experience. I can't recommend PCD enough. If you are ordering a BMW, you MUST do PCD.

Firstly, thanks to this site. You come for the information but stay for the friendships is so true. X5flyboy drove from Charleston to Spartanburg to share in my delivery excitement. Thanks Mark. I met Diesel guy and his daughter, they took delivery the same day. I met Kaefer for dinner last night and AzNMpower for lunch today. I received texts and calls from B-Line, Ucrew, Michelle, LeMansX5, Kaefer, noncom, Rastagurl and wait....even Gresch. I love you guys!

I missed my calling in life. I should have been a race car driver. I owned the slalom! They split us up into groups of three. My group consisted of me in a 50i X6 and two 3 series. The slalom is a mini road track with cones set up on the straight away that you need to weave through. You can go as fast as you want, provided you don't get sloppy. For the road track, they set up cones as "marks" so you know your line, where to brake and where to accelerate. I started out as the lead car and tore up the course. I did it so fast, I wound up up the ass of the last car. :p: I hit every mark, every time. Took the slalom like a pro and didn't knock down any cones. The instructor took the other guys off the course and made me run it solo. He told me that I was doing great, but he would make me do it better. So as I drove, he called out instructions....full throttle, break hard now...Ray (the instructor) couldn't believe I never had professional instruction. I thought he was blowing smoke up my butt, until my friend Tina overheard Ray bragging to Donnie Isely (professional race car driver and instructor at PCD) how I hit every mark every time. I think M driving school is next. They will remember I was there. And for the record, I DID tell Donnie, in front of a room full of people that I heard he was better than a roller coaster.

The X6 is amazing. NO BODY ROLL and what a beast. I behaved myself coming through Virginia but tore it up as soon as I hit WV. Once I was in NJ :zoom:

I also got 17.5 mpg on the trip. Now that's impressive.

Congrats! PCD sounds amazing! I can't wait to do it next year! :)

Congrats! I think a change in profession is in order...matches your handle. :D

Nice of X6. You look like a pro driver in X6.....better than Danica...Danica will have to leave once you enter pro racing.

congratulations... you look great in your new ride!:thumbup:

i didn't do PCD with my 08 X5 but i'm looking to do it with my 10 X6!

glad you had a great time.... keep us posted in any new developments.

Thank you, drod. You are going to be blown away by the X6. I also went from a 2008 e70. The difference is remarkable. The ride quality is amazing...smooth as silk. The new idrive is so much quicker, the rear camera is a huge improvement, and the handling :wow: I can make it go sideways.

Thank you. Do not pass up the opportunity. I want to do it again. Make sure you reserve a camera so they can video you on the track. I didn't do it :banghead:

Nice writeup, congrats again!

congrats! nice X6 you got there!

Will they let someone PCD a 2003 4.6is? I know it already has 90+k miles but they should work with me! :rofl:

Glad you had a great time, and showed them boys who the boss was on the courses! Something tells me as much as you will want to buy this X6 at the end of lease you will probably switch it up just to PDC again... cmyX6Mgo?

Looks absolutely beautiful, and sounds like an amazing time. The Performance Center rarely disappoints. Glad to hear you enjoyed the ride home and sorry I wasn't in town to join in the festivities with everyone else.

17.5 mpg? How in the hell? :stickpoke

Awesome.. Congrats L..

I know you're smiling ear to ear.

:dunno: I did 10 over the limit - give or take ;) - in VA with a few bursts. Once I hit WV I did about 80. I really didn't jump on it though. Maybe that makes the difference. I was very surprised. I never thought I'd see 17.5. I probably won't again.

You're not kidding. My face hurts from grinning.

Stunning X6!! Congrats, it sounds like an amazing trip :2thumbs:

Thank you. What's up with you? Did you take delivery yet?

It came home Thursday night after some re-programing... I now have sound!
I haven't driven it yet, maybe this morning...I'm still in Summer mode driving the coupe.

You're the Best! Thanks for remembering :yourock:

WHAT?!?!?!?! Are you insane? :throw: You picked up a brand new ride and you haven't driven it yet? Get your sorry a$$ out there. That's an order....:rofl:

Seriously, you should go out now and catch the sunrise. Just watch those deer if you're outside the city.

Congrats L sounds like an awesome experience! Nice to hear you showed 'em how it's done! Great pics.

Sounds like a blast, have fun with the new X6.

Congratulations, L!
You and, your new X6, look fine! :thumbup:

Not surprised on your additional undiscovered talents...
Glad you made it back in good stead.
BR,mD

ENJOY! :)

She looks HOT !!! Well, both of you ;)

Congrats L ! Now please post more high-res pics, including interior... thanks!

Any pics from PDC??!!

Thanks all. It was a blast. I'll take more pictures today and during the week. My aluminum pedals and side window deflectors are being installed tomorrow. I really didn't take PCD pictures, I was having too much fun behind the wheel.

It feels good to sleep. I KO'd last night after that drive. I didn't get too much sleep the past week.

Did they give you a tour of the plant ?

Yes, they just resumed production on Fridays. Pretty amazing stuff.

ha ha...I mentoned that yesterday and answer I got:
I am not getting a X6 M
I am not getting a X6 M
I am not getting a X6 M

Weasel, You will get banned if you mention that again. :rofl:


L, BTW, how many years is the lease on X6?

I did three years. I haven't really opened her up yet but doing 90 I felt like I wasn't even a putting any pressure on the gas pedal. I have more power than I need as it is. No M for me. I will do PCD again, regardless of what I get.

I also would love to get a bunch of us together and do the M driving school.

Congratulations on the ride.
BTW, you both (you and the car) look smashing.
Did you get the power upgrade?

Thank you :) And yes I did get the upgrade. The power is amazing. I can't wait to really jump on her.

She's a self-proclaimed leadfoot. The threat of police enforcement kept her right foot off the massive turbos for the hours and hours in VA. (When I met with her in Staunton, she'd already seen three)

gorgeous car, L! enjoy.

Awesome! I am happy for you.

Congrats L!

Congrats! Looks great and thanks for the write up.

So when do you start your new job as a PCD instructor, and teach us how to drive??

Thanks all. What a joy to drive. I'm loving this thing.

As for being a PCD instructor..damn. Talk about finding something you love to do and figuring out a way to get paid for it. What a great job.

Here's the pic I promised (I blinked in the other one :()

great stuff L.. enjoy!!! I dont know how you did it.. the wait... I almost went insane during my 2 week wait...

Very, very happy for you! PCD sounds incredible, thanks for a great write up. Congrats on the new wheels, I love the look.

I am totally jealous!! Thanks for letting me be a part of your journey :)

:thumbup:

Congrats, sounds like an awesome experience:thumbup::thumbup:

M, How did you know you blinked, with your shades on?!

Mom & Son, seperated at birth?! :D ... ;)

Great pic of you and L...Staunton is a pretty cool pre-Civil War town, that
just missed getting leveled during the war. Very nice downtown.
BR,mD

Awesome ride darlin' ;-) Glad you had a great time!

Congrats on the new ride!!! She looks awesome, you are going to have a blast smokin' the guys on the road :) Sounds like a great time burning up the course!

There were two pics; the other one was taken without the sunglasses on and yeah, when I looked at it, I definitely blinked in that one, or maybe it was the glare.

Congrats L! Glad to hear you enjoyed the PCD.

Talk about a boost in sales....

Sexy wheels...looks great on you! :thumbup:

Congrats! Those on-ramps aren't gonna know what hit em. :driver:

congrats L...

black dress + black X6 = hotness :D

Thanks guys. :)

She's at the dealer now getting aluminum pedals and window deflectors installed. And of course I dressed for the occassion. Black dress with silver grommet accents. I love to accessorize. :D

I'm happy to report I did get the Michelins :thumbup: I'm also pleasantly surprised with the appearance of the 19s. I was afraid they would get lost in the wheel wells and look like girlie wheels. They look pretty good. So good that I'm going to pass up a set of X6///M wheels I was considering for summer.

Beautiful car and beautiful driver...:D

congrats L!:thumbup:

Thanks Stevev and Josh...

It's too nice out to be stuck in my office when I should be tearing up some entrance ramps....

CONGRATS, L!

She's beautiful!

Sounds like the PCD was well worth the wait!

Thanks Michelle. It was definitely worth the agonizing wait.

Let's see: Hot new X6....Hot chick in a hot new X6...Man, this Forum is one awesome 'Grand Theft Auto' style party....
LOVE it. Can't wait for the 'BMW Girls Gone Wild' video.

:hawt: Congrats on the new ride!

Thanks Stan, and all the rest for the kind words. You guys are great for my ego. :hug:


And thank you, Wabbit :)

One hot car and driver.:thumbup:

Great write up. You showed those 3 dreamers. X6 sounds great!
Enjoy my dear.:thumbup:

looks awesome! i want an X6 so badly. Ive driven one and i cant agree with you more about it. Prob the best SUV on the market for handling..

but, i will have to go ahead and disagree with you on a wheel change. Bigger wheels will look MUCH better on it. Pull up to one with the 20s or 21s, you'll see

get the 21s....get em...get em.. get em... quickly!!


or worse case, get the 214s 20s... they look great on the X6!

Not the bee-hive/floral 214s.;) The less spokes the better the wheel looks.

Thank you Mikey and Blue.

As for Naz and drod...:shutup: :rofl:

I will not get a summer set of wheels
I will not get a summer set of wheels
I will not get a summer set of wheels

Are you guys conspiring with LeMans to push me to the other side :confused:

Did you sell your other set of wheels from your E70?

I never got a summer set up for the E70. I ran the stock 19" non staggered wheels with all seasons.

Summer wheels are pretty pointless especially if you drive mostly in the NY/NJ area. The roads are so awful, I don't know how y'all with 20s manage it up there. I already think Maryland roads are sh*tty but NJ and NYC give a whole new meaning to "pothole" (actually, Northeast states have bad roads in general). When I drove my X3 on the Belt Parkway, I felt as if I was actually driving with square wheels.

the belt parkway and the cross bronx have to be the worst roads....and I do have 20's...well...they are probably 19's by now...

Cross Bronx Expwy doesn't count as a road, it is off-roading. So is the BQE.

Don't forget the Jackie Robinson

L - Congrats on the new ride! Can't wait to see it at the next Meet. So what's going to be your first mod? ;)

Interborough (Jackie) is bad, plus extremely tight for my X between the van wick and forest park. BQE is horrible, Cross bronx is very bad. The van wick between the cross island and jfk was terrible a few years ago. Even the grand central/northern parkway is bad is some spots.

I don't think it will be summer tires or wheels... :rofl:

Did you say Mod ;)

Thanks C. No mods. I did the aluminum pedals and window deflectors. I'm done.

hahaha agreed. that road kills me

Enjoy..

Thanks Tom. I should hit 1000 miles this weekend, then I'll throw her around a bit.

The exhaust note is sweet, it gurgles. ...I love the top view camera, pretty cool.

Lady in black with black on black X6 = SEXY:D

I hate the merges on that road, everytime I get on it, it's like I have to use kickdown to merge.

Another peeve is the "omg I'm going to crash into the bridge support" corner at the eastern end near I-278 and the Grand Central Parkway.

There needs to be much, much stronger speed enforcement on the Jackie Robinson. I don't know what the speed limit is, but I would set it at 60km/h (40mph) and then strictly enforce that. It is narrow with limited visibility and traffic flow is heavy. Clearly NYC doesn't understand "speed enforcement" like VA.

Thank you :hug:

I dont think anyone could ever get tired of that sound :) Gratz on finally getting your car - I hope you will enjoy it :)

How are you people going any faster than 10mph on any NY highway with all the traffic to notice any potholes? :D

Congrats on the ride! I'm sure the exhaust sounds great, maybe ringtone material. BTW, I thought NJ was the speed trap capital?

The sound is intoxicating. Thank you :)In my world, it's home turf :D

I still think BMW can do better with the fitment of the dead pedal...

But what's up with the 1930-ish Ford pickup??? It looks to be in great shape!

The pedals are from Bimmian. BMW pedals don't do it for me.

Thanks Weas. It's a 1936 V8. It's the actual truck my dad learned to drive on. He bought it and had it restored.

Ahh, the flathead V8... It must have been a fun project! Even edelbrock makes cylinder heads for the flathead now! :D

Ah yes, back in the good ol' days..........*goes back into nostalgic mood*

Nice pics, L!! Bummed I missed the festivities, but, as you know, I had no choice. ;)

From that top view camera pic, funny how you've parked :) Was it also at a far-end of the lot ? ;)

I love my end spots! I'll walk a mile for one.

Mod that thing already ....:rofl: ... Must be in the blood.:lmao:

My take after 1000 miles
 

What can I say. I love this vehicle.

Likes:

The power is insane, more power than I'll ever need. It feels as if my foot never presses the accelerator more than a fraction of an inch, like I'm coasting but I'm doing 80. Shifts are smooth and no more lag off the line. She just rockets.

The exhaust note :wow:

The new idrive is much faster than the old one and easier to navigate. The rear view camera with top view is pretty cool. It's much clearer than the old camera was. Big improvement.

I love that I can save my music on the hard drive. Who needs the 6 CD changer?

Handling is awesome. I do feel a difference between the 20s that were on the X6 I drove at the PCD and the 19s I have. I don't feel as glued to the roadway going around my morning ramp to the bridge as I did tearing up the slalom. I'm not sure if it's because of the all seasons vs the performance tires or possibly that I hit the bridge within 5 minutes of leaving my house so the tires aren't warmed up. Obviously the width of the staggered set up plays into it. I'm considering summer wheels...:takecover

The exhaust note :cool:

Nappa leather seats and dash. Love it. The seats are like butter.

Aluminum trim looks great.

Have I mentioned the exhaust note? :rofl:

Dislikes:

No rear wiper. It would probably be an eyesore but I'm so used to it, I hate when my view is impaired, especially having the smaller rear window.

My sideview mirrors. I feel as if the placement is different from the E70. I can't put my finger on it but the view seems off. I also find them very dark at night. I guess I'll get used to them.

The C pillar ( is that what you call it?) Although there is a small vent window, that damn pillar is in my view when I look over my right shoulder to change lanes. Yes, I always look over my shoulder when changing lanes. Again, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

That little gray flap on the lower rear. It really should be black.

All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase, except my jaw hurts from grinning. :D

I love your Week 1/1,000 Mile Recap! I'm totally living vicariously through you. :jealous:

No rear wiper = :luv: :D

Did you not put your famous "bubble mirror" on your side mirrors? Is that why you are looking over your shoulder to change lanes? Ever since I changed my side mirrors to see the lane next to me (not down the side of my car) I haven't needed to look over either shoulder when changing lanes. :dunno:

Oh and...

GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS! GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS! GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS! GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS! GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS!
GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS! GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS! GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS! GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS! GET 21" SUMMER WHEELS!

Thanks, M. I thought you'd get a kick out of the rear wiper comment. :p:

Yes, I did put on my spot mirrors. I bought them up here and brought them with me to SC. :rofl: The PCD driving instructors told us how to properly adjust the side views in the same manner as that thread here years ago, so I adjusted them accordingly.

I can't explain it, the view just seems different. You know how mirrors say objects in mirror are closer than they appear, well the objects are ALOT closer than they appear. I've always panned the the rear view and the side view mirrors so I know what's around me. I think I'm gun shy because of the rear design, I don't have the same field of vision. I'll get used to it.

I'm looking at the X6 ///M wheels...We'll see. Mark (X5Flyboy) said he took his X5 with 20s to the same car wash I go to and he never had a problem. I called the owner today and he said 12.4 inches is fine, with room to spare.
I swore I wasn't going to screw with wheels. That was the main reason I didn't go for the ///M in the first place. :thud:

I'm sure you'll get used to the mirrors.

Re: Wheels.... Why have such an amazing vehicle and not wheels to go with it? It's like wearing flats instead of heels! :stickpoke

You suck! You know my shoes always compliment my outfit. Now I have to get the wheels. BITCH :rofl:

Tee hee. I knew that would be the key to getting you to see the light! :nanana:

L maybe you should trade it for a M?

get the M...

and wow, I didn't know the top view was like that!!

never seen in action....pretty neat.

love the follow-up notes...

I have 20s and love them... but you will notice decent size pot holes...

in New York there are no small pot holes....only man holes!!

my next vehicle will have 19s which I believe is the best combination.

i didn't notice...did you get the twin turbo 6 or 8?

No ///M for me, Blue. I don't know what to do with the power I have. I'm happy with my decision. Please see above regarding the M.

I got the 50i, twin turbo V8...plus the performance package - an additional 40 hp :whistle: Hence the perpetual grin :D

I had the 19" non staggered set up on my E70 and liked it. It was a good cross between ride and handling. I've never had 20s, the biggest tire/wheel combo I ever had was a staggered 19" setup on my E53. They were great on curves but the ride suffered on the straight aways. It's a trade off...I'm not sure I want to sacrifice ride for the few times I want the handling to eat up twisties.

Wow L, this is really amazing... I am reading your review, and I am thinking... "yes, I'd love that too... agree, I'd hate that too".. Your comments regarding obstruction of vision - I am the same ! I even have huge panoramic mirror INSIDE (which btw covers the dimming sensor and my side mirrors dont dim much at night!) and two fish-eye smaller mirrors on the sides. I have virtually no blind spots.

Re 19 vs 20s - I love the looks of 20s, and since my bro got his new 2010 X5 with 214s, I am going on/off every day if I should get them too... But then I have a practical side of me and I dont want to deal with NY/NJ manholes... still undecided.

Have fun, glad you like it.

I bet you didn't know
 

My picture is next to the word decisive in the dictionary. :rolleyes:
I'm arguing with myself again. I have the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. They are both chirping in my ear

Devil: Do it.

Angel: Don't do it!

Devil: Do it! You know you want to. They'll look hot.

Angel: Don't do it, it's not practical, You only want them for the looks, that's shallow.

Devil: Shut up you wuss Angel. She's a shallow bitch, remember.

Someone make them stop.

Its just another pair of shoes, you wouldn't wear rainboots to the beach would you?

Another devil :mad: Peer pressure sucks.

only while you resist!

You gotta drive one to decide if you want it or not...

I love their looks, but am concerned about (a) potholes, (b) tire wear (Dunlops suck!) and (c) precision of steering. The (a) is somewhat a problem, (b) is not much of a problem since I can special-order them with the Bridgestones which last much longer, but (c) is a huge problem for me, as I am a human alignment machine.... (that is a separate long story of laughs).

So yesterday I had to chance to drive my bro's X5 with 214s, all along on twisty road with some minor road bumps, mini potholes etc. (Bro dont worry I took it easy :)). I can tell you that the steering wasnt the same. It was lighter and less precise, and going over the bumps the car needed constant mini corrections. It just wasnt my cup of tea if you know what I mean. One the major reasons I got a BMW is because I love tight and precise steering and handling and I just dont want to sacrifice any of it.

So L, find someone who'd let you drive X6 with summer tires, and let it be another data point to help you with decision.

P.S. BMW of Bloomfield NJ quoted me $3850 for 214s with Bridgestone RFTs, TPMS etc. So far they seem to beat everyone else when it comes to prices of accessories and add-ons.

You'll never guess what I did today
 

I read the fookin manual :p:

It's amazing, every stupid question I have is answered in that little book. Damn, If I did that 4 years ago, my post count would be cut in half.

Carry on .

You are right enjoy the fine car and don't let them tempt you.

I saw a black X6 today on Route 29 headed south and I immediately thought "I met L just last week in the exact same car!"

I decided to pass on the wheels. No need to make a knee jerk decision now. I'll ride out the winter and see how I feel in a few months.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I think I'll take a ride to the beach.

Who needs facebook to annoy the hell out of people with the minutia of their day?

What are you saying by that? :stickpoke

exactly!!!:p:

Hey, if she wants her X6 to wear flip flops with socks for that trip to the beach that's her prerogative. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Your FB comments are pretty cool. I want to be you when I grow up. Some others I see are a different story.

Hey now :mad: I wore my black Harley Davidson high heel ankle boots with silver buckles on the ankles (they're hot) for my ride today. Never made it to the beach.

Wheres the pics from the I-85 cowboy boot warehouse cargo capacity test?

I'm just pokin fun. :nanana:

The Harley boots sound cool. We have good friends in the Harley store down here, discounts!

I went to see Phil today. I'm all clayed, waxed and sealed for winter. :wow:

He did a clip of the exhaust for you, LeMans. Being I'm so challenged, Phil will post it here for me.

Thanks Phil :)

How'bout some pics, L?
Or, maybe Phil did those, too? ;)

Phil took all the before, during, and after pics. He's do his usual write up. :D

Look forward to seeing your new ride, L! :thumbup:

L.... there are too many posts to read
in this thread and I wouldn't be able
to catch the flow of the conversation
anyway. So let me just say Congratulations
on the new ride.

B&R

I hear he is a full service provider;)

Me too :D
Thanks, Barry. Where have you been hiding?

Phil is the the man!

I guess Phil got busy and hasn't gotten around to posting my exhaust clip :tapping: :rofl:

Anyway...OMG! The power in this thing is unreal. I have to be careful when I kick it. It can get away from you real easy if you're not careful. I can't imagine the ///M. I'm actually glad I didn't go for the ///M. I have more power than I need as it is.

One scary thing...I filled up yesterday morning. I have 52 miles on the trip odometer, and I'm showing 3/4s of a tank :thud: My OBC is now down to 14.7 from te 17.5 I got on the ride home from PCD. And it still shows 250 miles to empty. I guess it didn't catch up to my actual city driving yet. It probably didn't help when I showed that Mustang GT who was boss yesterday. He was not happy :p: He started it....Or I wouldn't have wasted my time with a pesky GT :whistle:

Ouch L... Did you read that it is rated 12/18, while your X5 was 14/19 !?

I wonder what my 335i will do next to your X6. 0-60 are 5.1 (yours) and 5.4 (mine), close enough...

You know the 20" (X6 ///M) wheels also contribute to power. ;)

Careful when its Wagner at the wheel of Mustang.

I knew going in it wouldn't be pretty. I was getting high 13s in the E70. It doesn't help that I recently started playing with her now that I have almost 1400 miles under my belt. I wasn't a priest, but I went easy on the rpms for the first 1200 miles. In addition, I don't seem to have much open roadway lately on my commute. For some reason there's been heavier traffic lately. Lots of stop and go when I just want to go.

We should go to a track and check it out. A friend of mine races Vipers and goes to Pocono a few times a year. I'll see when the next one is.

:shutup:

:rofl:

Soooo your not changing your wheels to 20"?? :stickpoke:stickpoke :p::D

19 is bigger than most of you

2 weeks in Hawaii......:thumbup:
Now having good weather withdrawals.......:(

I'm so jealous. Welcome home. :)You're going to torment me, aren't you?

To be honest with you, I'm considering it. Lots of power going to the rear wheels. If I kick the accelerator going into a curve, I sometimes feel like she's going to break loose on me. The X6 I drove at the PC was glued to the road going through the slalom and the track. I felt in control at all times. It had 20s, but didn't have the extra 40 hp. I'm sure the additional power and the narrower tires are both contributing factors.

I have to ride the 19s out for the winter, I'll consider it over the next few months.

Just think, it can only kick out so much with the trick rear diff and x-drive... :D

After a couple snow drives you should be able to say if and how much better the rear diff makes it for snow.

No no....just tormenting you from the various member's pressing you to get the 20's... :D

There's nothing wrong with 19's. Its not the size that counts, its how you use it. :popcorn:

Congrats L. See you at the next Tri-State meet. Only 6 months away. :dancing:

Thanks, Clint :wavey:

Lotsa choices....

If I do it, I'll go for the ///M wheels. I know you have a set now, but I'm just not sure yet. :dunno:

if....if you decide to do something...and while I'm a big fan of the OEM choices...I saw these on Tire Rack while shopping for my winter wheel setup.. Similar in concept to the M wheels, but with space between each spoke arm.

Thanks, but I do really like the ///M wheels :thud:

No pressure. I posted them in for sale section

The breaking loose feeling doesn't last long, then the rear differential and x-drive kicks in and rights the wrong.

///M wheels = :luv:

{CHANTING}

DOOO-IT! DOOO-IT! DOOO-IT!

{/CHANTING}


:D

Hey L, I haven't been following this thread for a while. I hear you're getting the //M wheels! Awesome!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::r ofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

:pullhair:

:drama: :nanana: :D

I'll get you, my pretty.....
 

Oh jesus, I watched that in German the other day. Good thing it came with glühwein.

:boxer::thud::boxer::thud:

This has got to set some sort of record.

153 posts in a new car thread.
:wtf:

I'm shooting for 10,000 combined views between this thread and my "I have a production number" thread.

http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...on-number.html

Less than 500 to go :p:

Just say you're gonna put up some bikini pics of you and Michelle with the X6 and everyone who isn't already subscribed will... That would double your view count! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

That'll do it.........:thumbup:

But that would be teasing....I can't do that ;)

I had another comment re: the
next step but never mind.:D

What a beauty! Congrats on your new ride--

From one shoe lover to another...thank you :)

So boys and girls, I was checking out 0-60 times on other vehicles and was surprised to see my 0-60 is 2/10ths of a second faster than the SL500. Is that possible :dunno:

SL550 0-60 5.3


Pesky SLs :rofl:

I think we need some of these pics of beauty here.

Let me add my congratulations... She's a beauty !!

I didnt read through all 17 pages of comments so forgive me if this has been asked already..BUT how is the vision out the rear glass given the slope..any blind spots..?
Also, I'd be interested in how she does in the snow - assuming we get something more than a dusting...

All the best and drive safely..
Edco and Patty

Thanks, Ed. The view out the rear window isn't bad. Changing lanes to the right takes a little getting used to. The C pillar causes a nice blind spot when I do an over the shoulder glance. I adjusted my mirrors outward and have my spot mirrors but I'm still not 100% comfortable.

I'll let you know on the snow question.

Now why didn't I think of doing that? Thanks :)

Please excuse my stupidity...What is PCD?
Thanks

Laura, we will just call you....Wonder Woman....Yep, you're correct: you've got a 0-to-60 edge on both the SL550 Roadster and the S550 sedan both of which have a 5.5-litre V-8 rated at 382hp. The S550 is listed at 5.4 seconds. Those Mercedes panzies will need to upgrade to the respective 6.2-litre AMG versions to beat you out of the toll booth.

Thanks Stan. I'm amazed at how fast and agile such a big, heavy vehicle can be. :wow:

Drum roll please

This thread is like a train wreck. :bustingup You just have to look :rofl:

Carry on

:iagree: ...L, a few more pics of you in/around your new ride would
refresh/reinvigorate the view count, imo. ;)

Thanks, mD. :hug:

I figured you guys know what I look like. Besides, when I ask people to take pictures of me with the X they think I'm a shallow b*tch :rofl:

Since most of us are male and piglets, on here, we are visually driven,
as they say in Psych 101, ;). So, never enough pics, imo.

What's wrong with being shallow?! :D

My brother borrowed the X6 and drove out to Long Island today. As most of you know, he busted my chops for months over my decision to get the X6. He's a BMW guy too, 7s :yawn: Anyway, he hated the looks of the X6. I kept telling him to drive it, he'd see.

Well, when he got back to the office today, as he handed me the keys he said "I get it now".

So to all you X6 haters....shut up go drive one :D

I hope he doesn't like it too much. He may want to trade for a while. Not happening :p:

So how many miles do you have on the X6 and what is your average MPG?

I just turned 2000 yesterday. I'm at 13 mpg for my city/rush hour hwy travels.

She is almost as hot as L

So that's what she said to Chris Brown.

Can I put my head on her body :rofl: That girl has killer eyes!

Thanks, Blue :)

You should have seen her on course!! I get the feeling this is the way she drives everyday! Enjoy your X6! It is awesome!

BMW Driving Instructor

Thanks to you and Ray. You guys rock.I had a blast. See you at ///M school in the spring.

Glad to see you're a member.

Welcome to the forum Donnie! As a fellow BMW employee I hope to make it there sometime, but with the number of school locations used dropping I'll likely only be seeing Atlanta in the future... Oh well.

Is this thread still going??

Damnit...I just added another post... :rofl:

5000 views, here I come :p:

Remarkable...er, maybe sort of expected. ;)
Jeesh, even your S'burg team/admirers are coming out of the woodwork...
This thread ought to be a Stickie. :rofl:

:noadd:

Yep - I have nothing to add...just trying to help out the "pitch count."

That's right, 5211!! :nanana:

5232 :rofl: Men :tsk: :)

My BMW is getting a wash today at the local hand wash.

OH


MY


GOD


I love this thing :D




Just saying. :p:

Views......its all about the views. :stickpoke :rofl:

It's got a life of it's own....it doesn't need my help. :rofl: I just thought I'd let you all know what a great 3300 miles it's been.

Off to Yonkers for a lunch meeting today. I'll take the Parkway to the Tap and enjoy a nice ride. I don't care if it's out of the way.

You seem to be racking up the miles and may be over on your lease.

That's a nice drive. Careful of cops...they like to hide there. But you got the jail free card anyway. ;)

Yeah, I like that route. I HATE the GW....

One more post
 

I'll be ordering my 50i in 3 weeks (or so).

:bump: for ///M Wheels. :nanana:

Right now I'd be happy with an intake boot. :tsk:

Thanks for the bump, M. This may push KYZRSOSE over the edge :rofl:
