Auto Spies Agents Spy First BMW X6's Hitting Dealerships

Beautiful cars!!! It looks so good in red!!!

If it sucks so bad, why do you keep coming back? I'm sure the site won't miss you.

Saw one in my dealer early last week. The 3.5L version. The back isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Definitely has a purposeful stance to it. Only negative I've heard so far is that Car & Driver found the V8 TT to have a slight lag to it, as compared to the inline-6 TT.

Saw one here in Austin one week ago at the dealer - incredible!!!!

ask them to lend you one for that fox television show you are always on...

There's my next BMW.

bulldogz, I just listed a $1,650,000 2 bedroom and 2 bath condo woth a 180 degree Pacific Ocean view.

Lot's of interest already from rich people.

I just did the "build your own" thing-o on the BMW site... $67K+ for the kind of options a care of this class should reasonably have.

Does that seem insanely expensive to anyone else? Maybe I just don't see the point of this thing. Anyone care to explain?

But it's a BMW, I'll love to be seen in one of these!
;-)

Yes, it is definitely ridiculously overpriced. Anybody who cross-shops the Infiniti FX50 will buy that one.

Yes, it is ridiculously enormous. I don't see it as a positive that the 5'3" salesman can barely reach the hatch handle. Sure, the hatch might be automatic - but it is simply too big.

Car and Driver said that the front seat console knee-pad things are stupid and annoying and I agree.

Funny how everybody's saying they see X-6's at 'their dealer'. I suspect you'll be seeing more and more of them their because nobody's going to buy them.

Deboost away :-)

That's odd. I saw the X6, 135i, and M3(2dr and 4dr)- all over 3 weeks ago at BMW of Arlington in VA.

It looks amazing! LOL I'm 5' 3" as well.

The truck/car/crossover/suv/wagon looks awesome in red. Wow!

With such a small spare I could only imagine how weird it would look if one of those 315 rear tires blew lol.

I saw a black X6 last weekend at the dealership but it was a corporate vehicle that was making its tour around DFW. It looked AWESOME especially with the sport package and side steps. But $62K??....that is steep...

It look really nice in person. I went to the car in atlanta ga on sunday it looks really good. the picture don't do it justice. you have to see it to appreciate it. I was wanting to purchase an X-5 I think I am going to purchase the X-6 instead.

lol i'm not a hater and love the beemer but that thing is ugly as hell in person , it looks like aztec , it just looks retarted , doesn't even look mean or gangsta , if i had money i would never buy one , but that's just my opinion.

I sat in one yesterday and was very impressed. I had my doubts from the beginning but this car is reallly growing on me. Looking forward to driving the TT v8....

Op and Main,
I think you both make good points. It does have a higher center of gravity (than a car) while having the weight of a truck-like vehicle, and I certainly don't think the higher CG adds to safety. Having stated that, I also think this is the shape of wagons to come. The "old-style" wagon with a slightly higher ground clearance (the Audi Allroad and Volvo XC 70 come to mind) will be replaced by this type of wagon-SUV crossover. This is the wagon shape of the future, and I too find it eye catching, unusual, and pleasing to behold. I think it will be a big hit for BMW.

Can someone please define practicality, is it being a bachelor and having a minivan as an everyday car, or is it being married with two kids and having a corvette as the primary family car. practicality is different to each customer, and so is the price they pay for it. Its amazing how people whine and gripe over such matters, A young married couple with 2 kids, nice house, great paying jobs, and don't want a camry, but instead something to express their youthfulness would purchase a car like this. I know I would. A nice Armani suit is practical for a business meeting, and not for a construction site. BMW is only creating a market for those who might have been searching for a new kind of vehicle type/genre( perhaps bad choice of word). It looks nothing like an Aztec, thats like saying every suv looks like a horse carriage, grow the hell up please. New car segment, this is 2008 people, get with the future, 90% of the type of cars we have now didn't exist in the initial years of automotive design, because they weren't needed, now they either are needed not just for utilitarian purposes but for recreational purposes and sometimes for eye candy. But to sum it all up, this car is beautiful to me, i know pics don't do it any justice. It may be hard to believe but when the new 3 series coupes were first released, they were ugly to me in pics, but the first time i saw one in real life, it was the most beautiful car in its price range i had ever seen, then came the A5 and snatched that title. lol. I also was skeptical about the A5 when i saw it in pics, but seeing it in real like is another story, just an amazing car. So if you haven't seen a car in real life, make an intelligent criticism based on the circumstance.

This car is everything. If it were last year and I would have jumped all over this thing. Now with the uncertain economic times and high gas prices, I think I will wait until I can pick up a used one

$62K.....that's nothing, at our dealership we have an X6 for $74K+ it arrived on Sat. and it's already sold.
