I've seen a couple around ATL, all have been Black or dark colors, with rims and dark tint, I think the car looks good, I think in this segment of niche vehicles, people with money want something unique, and I hope BMW is not rolling these things off the line thinking they will sell like a regular 528.
With expensive cars I have found you can easily accept the car, if it drives like a beast, but if it's slow then ugly is all it will ever be

I don't think the X6 and 5GT are that bad anymore. I think they're unique which is good given that so many cars started to look very generic.
I agree they're not for everyone but if I were such a person that might need to put things in my vehicle and I didn't have a Rover, I would consider the X6 and 5GT; but perhaps there lies the problem, those that may be alright with their looks always have other options or the vehicle isn't really appropriate for them.

1) Stick a BMW badge on it and I will buy anything
2) I'm blind and got sold this BMW
3) I couldn't decide between a sedan and a SUV so I bought this instead
There are much better statement cars at the price point

That deep discounting just shows that the X6, like many upper-level BMW products, is simply overpriced to begin with. Yes, that includes the 550 GT. The 550 GT is a superb car (if you can get over the awkward, Honda-Crosstour-like rear end), but not, IMO, worth 70K +.

That is being nice to say the least.
