RE: Driven: BMW X6M
Discussion
I love this car. Don't give a stuff what anybody else thinks. Nothing will part the red sea...sorry third lane quicker than this thing!
People have stated that they think it is pointless! You just don't get it..& that's not a real problem. Myself & lots of others DO get it though!!
So next time your in your ML or Panza..sorry Audi Q7 or Range Rover sport & the Big Bad M needs to get though..just move over.

My wife knows loads of milfy types who would love such a thing.
I have a default position in such matters but oddly, not today.
Tbh, I quite like the X6, in the way that one might prefer the sartorial tweaks of an SS Gruppenführer's jacket to that of his equivalent's trenchcoat in The Gestapo.
To wit, it's certainly effective at what it does but there's an antisocial side effect best left unrealised.
Back to the milfs and their vaccuous, lightly sautéd, himbo hubbies: yes, awful people.
Impatient, angry and aggressive with no fundamental wit or other, redeeming characteristics who probably utilise Wii technology - the cretins.
I've thought about this long, hard, good and proper and I'm with the trado purists - this is cock nobbling central, first tier and no matter how much fiddling a chap may do, he's got to be some kind of inveterate disciple of Pendle's Premium Pud Pulling Syndicate to have the brazen nuts implant to order up such a thing.
It's an affront; it's tragic and I f@cking weep at the significance of its birthing.
LOL!I have a default position in such matters but oddly, not today.

The X6 is everything a car shouldn't be. A totally pointless waste of ALOT of space and now BMW has added very sickly icing on a really bad tasting cake. Yuk!
A lot of cars are generally pointless, like the G55, or the Murcielago, and many others. I personally like the X6 look (it took a while to grow on me) and having a huge engine in one would be great fun on the streets. Edited by alexpa on Wednesday 23 December 09:10
This is PH, though, where anything more expensive than an MX5 and less traditional than a Land Rover is frowned upon.
Henry, forgive me if I'm misreading your situation but as an LA bod I'm bound to jump to the conclusion you am be ein American.
If you lived in Britain and appreciated the nature of our ridiculous society you'd equally comprehend why such a thing leads to so much tooth gnashage.
It shouldn't, on one level but it does and quite frankly, that's what makes the British so bloody interesting.
However, it is another sad reflection of a brand/sub-marque diltuion which however commercially wise is anathema to the appreciators of the broader, general automotive art, at its most subjective.
I think.

I love it.
I love the fact that they can build it. I love the fact that it exists.
We should respect everyones freedom to have one of these if they want one, without criticism IMO.
With over-regulation and the nanny state seemingly just around the corner, this car is a definitive "up yours" to the government and the eco-fascists.
For that reason alone I think it should be welcomed.
Well, I never thought along those lines but now you mention it I love the fact that they can build it. I love the fact that it exists.

I am sure cars like the X6M will soon be a thing of the past..

I think the X5 (and similar cars) have a place as, while it's not particularly good at any one thing it does pretty well everything you could ask of a car in one vehicle. They're family utility vehicles.
The X5 certainly has a place (but not in London). The X5 M and X6 M do not.In my list of things that I want when I win the lottery (Zeppelin crewed by pirates and wenches, own race track, etc) I want an X6. Just a base one mind as that one tarted up looks silly. The original however would be the ideal platform for my post apocalypse battle wagon. Out with the Bimmer plant and in with a LS9, it has to gurgle and idle lumpily as f**k. Also the standard blower has to go in favour of one that pokes through the bonnet and has a switch on the gearknob to turn it on and off (many will already know where this is going). Then armour, straight out the side pipes, huge tanks and a mangy dog. Yep, I see that as the spiritual successor to the V8 Interceptor. *WANT*.
But like that, no. That's all a bit sh!t.

It's a niche car for a niche market. You want 5 seats get an X5. You want economical, get a diesel SUV. You want good looking, don't get an SUV period.
I'm without kids, can afford, want big, want fast, want engineered, want 2 or 4 seats and don't care about pretty. All the expensive cars i've owned have been dynamically good at what they do, iconic or both.
I'm going to drive one ASAP next year and I believe in what the worlds press drivers have said, it will be fabulous.
Un-PC and not a great looker, but who cares. Not me, the niche market!!
