awesome engine. dont like the look of it. basically a sedan put on a 4×4 suspension, looks strange. we have the twin turbo diesel x5 which i think is so much better, especially with such awesome fuel economy while still nearly being as quick as the v8 x5

Who needs a wanker machine when you can just write in forums for nothing?

Andre, you’ve demonstrated just how effective it can be!!

I borrowed one of these for a weekend. Could not fault the handling and drive. I just wish they were built in Germany and not USA. Generally, the quality of US made BMWs are much more inferior compared to the Germans. I have an X5 and a new 325i coupe. They are miles apart in quality. But X6 is an amazing vehicle. Get one before oil runs out!.

Saw three of these while driving through Toorak last week.

Hideous in the flesh.

Whoever suggested putting bigger tubos on this thing is kidding themselves. They are quick spool like the 3 litre TT. Very hard engine to remap as well but the experts will get around that as they did the 3 litre. Don’t take as gospel what BMW quote the figures as, they are only for the glossy brochures. There have been many who have driven 335i’s straight off the showroom floor in the states to their mates dyno machines and ran numbers 10-15 % higher than what BMW have claimed. I think you will find thay have undertstated the power of this car as well.

Being turbo charged it will also be heavily affected by altitude and temperature.

GTRmon, I disagree because we didn’t have stability control 15 years ago and that changed things alot so maybe they’ll invent something else. I suppose we’ll find out.

The more you see of this pig, it doesn’t get any prettier.
