Spy photos spoil the inside of the new BMW X6

I do hope that's the third row of this vehicle. There's more headroom in a CLS-Class.

Theres not enough room in the back for 3rd row seating.

Does the X6 really need 3rd row seating? Does a BMW SUV ever need 3rd row seating?

The new X5's 3rd row is clearly a running joke. They were just added so they can say that there is one. Whether anyone actually "seriously" plans to use it is another story.

One would think that the X6 would be larger and more roomy than the current X5...thus allowing for additional room for the 2nd & 3rd rows along with cargo space behind the 3rd row...ala M-B GL. The rumored X4 would seem to be the platform for a more car-like X-series SUV to disregard kids and focus on sport & activity.

make all the fun you want... you'll need to come to Europe to see you're in no place to make mock...

This is an ugly looking vehicle. What's going on at BMW headquarters?

I'm just pointing out the obvious.

What does the LX570 have to do with the fact that the BMW X6 is an ugly looking vehicle? I realize this is a spy photo, but if you think this is anything but ugly, I really believe you should question your own taste.

He didn't say it WASN'T ugly! He's just annoyed at your ignorance!

And david999 and I are annoyed at yet another futile attempt to tip a negative German article into a negative Lexus assault.

good one! : )

haha, nice

Dammit you stole mine (ok you got it first)... I literally checked to see if anyone else had put it haha! Good one though and I whole-heartedly agree.

Unfortunately these are not fakes, interior shots snapped while on test in Europe. Click the link and read the article...sheez

No Sevorbeupstry the April Fools Joke were the sketches of the X6 COncept that was to debut at the NYC Auto SHow as well as a VW Cross Phaeton. The joke was there was no X6 Concept....it was a "Con" for the April FOol's KJoke of the day. There were no real life pics with that April Fool's story. PLEASE research a little before you post things. Here is the link if you do not believe me....

Wow, those are amazing rear headrests. Wow. Really spoiled the interior for me.

This will be as successful as the Mercedes R class. They both have that hearse look.

I agree with you, It´s going to be a blast! and bet that once again Bmw is setting new standards.... Go BMW!

To be fair, there is a lot of interior loose fabric, so there probably is more headroom. But that rear screen is miniature. How are you supposed to park it?

Its called Rear cameras! LOL, I don;t know really but I am sure they will have something like that available as an option (god knows nothing is standard worth a damn on a Bimmer, I know, I own one! And was optioned out my arse!)

The X5 has a backup camera available, so there's not a doubt in my mind that this won't have one.

Yes, I have said this in the past- it will compete directly with the Infiniti FX. Super-sporty, super-stylish "SUVs" that can't tow anything or go off-road... but they're not supposed to.

Did I phrase that correctly? "There's not a doubt in my mind that it *WON'T* have one"? Random thing to forget...

The word is Fugly!!! Whoa!!!

The word is Fugly!!! Whoa!!!

One word:

CAMO!

The BMW X6 looks swell and I'll take one just the way it is in the camo.

Wouldn't you want to take the camouflage off eventually..?

There's ample headroom.

Notice how the roof raises above the seats? It's called headroom.

Great observation.

lol wtf, the headrests are as high as the back windshield...isnt this supposed to be an SUV?

I'm blown away by the ignorance on this site...If you can't figure out or realize that the pictures shown here are spy photos & not the finished product, you shouldn't even come to this website.

"david999" & "jasongoudie" are a couple examples of what I'm talking about.

Yes unfortunately there is a lot of ignorance here on this site....And people are so hell bent here to not see what the product is about. BMW states this will be a Sporty Sport Utility in the vein of the Inifini FX as stated eariler by S4cabriofoxone. Or like the Land Rover Range Rover Sport. This car will allow the driver a view of the road in a sporty styled package like that of an SUV, but more focused on handling and fun, not room for all the kids. If you want that, buy an X5, an excellent SUV.

Guaranteed if this were a Lexus we were talking about there'd be 15+ German fans arguing exactly what "david999" and "jasongoudie" are arguing.

I may be arguing it, but not with such colorful metaphors like "fugly" but with a reason I don't like it.

Again, who is ignorant here. I mentioned in an earlier post that this vehicle was ugly in my opinion, and I also mentioned I know these were spy photos you dunce.

I really hope that camo is doing its job cuz if not thats gonna be some ugly SUV

I don't know.

Maybe there is a market for wealthy housewives desiring something faster, yet even more hideous than the Merc R class.

The X5 is nice enough. This is just a waste of resources. BMW, bring back the 8!

People may say that it is ugly, that it lack's room, that the interior lack's in quality but in the end it will be a best seller and guess what, do you know wich be the bigest for this car? Yep, US!!!
By the way, i don't like it either!!!

bigest market, sorry!!

No "Will" I guarantee you not...as most of us German fans realize this is nothing but some camo doing exactly what it's meant to do.

Besides at least myself as a hard core Bimmer fan can come to the realization that BMW has a couple of ugly duckling's in their model line & admit it.

Lexus fans however refuse to admit the ES is ugly, the SC is ugly, the new LX is a major step backwards from a design point of view (not that it was anything amazing to begin with), & the LS's styling is far from anything special.

Not to mention the constant moronic comments made by Lexus fans in which have absolutely no fact to them. I mean as far as I'm concerned the Lexus fan boys are even worse than the Bimmer knuckleheads.

"Lexus fans however refuse to admit the ES is ugly, the SC is ugly, the new LX is a major step backwards from a design point of view (not that it was anything amazing to begin with), & the LS's styling is far from anything special."

Are you kidding?

Yet none of you will even acknowledge the 5-Series was a mistake, the 7-Series was a mistake, the S-Class is bloated, the CL-Class is even more bloated, and the A5 is boring.

Double standard?

Yes.

Why did you mention Lexus? Can we not have yet another flame war?

There are more pics.

As you can see, the dash looks just like my car. (Which is a 2007 X5).

What is the point of the X6? It is ugly and unpratical by all means.

Sure, but I didn't mention the L-word...

Why was this posted here? This was a reply to Will's comment.

So "david999" if you know they're spy photos, then how can you say it's ugly? If I was looking at a camoed Lexus I'd have no comment on the asthetics because it wouldn't look remotely close to the real thing.

When it comes to design I have no bias, I think the GS & IS both look better than their BMW counter-parts. You obviously don't share this trait as your calling something that might as well have a sheet over it ugly, because you know it's a BMW.

Again, based on the photos provided here, I think it looks ugly. Your assumption that I find all BMWs ugly based on my comments about this vehicle are not accurate. I find many of the other BMW models out there good looking.
