no doubt it's one fast good handling car, though i can't say i agree much with his attitude. i definitely agree bmw does more than just snapping the m badge, probably most of the parts are redesigned on the car

but my question will still stand though, why the x5m and x6m, but still there is no m7 (from bmw factory, please drop the alpina sega) especially given the strong reason bmw gave long time ago.

for sure the car handles tons better than most suv and crossover out there, but it will be next to impossible for me to believe it runs the same as the m3 too (if that's the case, then the m3 sux, for its size, weight, and center of gravity, hahaaha)

Nice vehicle but he really went on an arrogant tangent in his thread there.

Clearly there is a small market for this and he is right, its to milk more profits. Nothing wrong with that.

It really has grown on me.

Maserati
645

X6M

all silver? Great cars but what's the logic in all of them together in one garage besides "Just cause I can". I'd rather have one with the rest spread out among my neighbors so we could meet up at the track. But to pick which one of the four????

I am not a psychologist yet, but this fella is clearly in the realm of narcissistic PD. Don't let owning fancy cars get to your head folks.

That beind said, this car just looks awful to me and I don't understand why people like them. Its the Pontiac Aztek of the German world.

BMW wants a piece of the Cayenne pie, and I think they will succeed with the X6M. For those commenting on the ugliness of this car... come on now, it's a beauty compared to the Cayenne!!! And if the Cayenne sells like hot cakes, imagine the sales for this car.

As for the owner... well... let's just say he feeds into certain stereotypes very well. ha ha
