I actually like the looks of it. I looked at one briefly the day I reviewed the M3, though I didn't test-drive it.....the M3 review, of course, came first. Granted, it doesn't have the interior space efficiency of the X3/X5....the roof is too low and too sloped for that. But it DOES, IMO, combine good looks with AWD/all-weather capability, high ground clearance, and (assumingly) BMW steering and chassis sophistication....and, at least according to Motor Trend (who has driven it), a better ride than the X3/X5. If it wasn't for the fact that it was introduced at the wrong time (with $4.00-plus premium gas and a 4800 lb.weight) BMW would really have something here.

 

This is an SUV... only without the utility.

 

SUV = Sports Utility Vehicle.

This is a jacked up 5 series.

 

They need to lower it a bit. Seriously, I'd like to see what the aftermarket does with this car. I lowered my RX330 and thought it looks and handled much better. I think the X6 will look nice lowered about 2-3".

 

The X6 last I heard was being marketed as a SAC. Sports Activity Coupe. Much like their SAVs Sports Activity Vehicle. So technically BMW admits that their "trucks" are not utilitarian.

Looks good from the front and from the rear, but not from the side.
