Most people posting here hate the X6. I actually like it. Drives and handles better than anything this size should. Why am I buying a 2010 X6 5.0? Because it has enough space for what I need, is faster than hell, handles amazingly well, and is big enough so that the aggressive idiots driving around the DC metro area won't be able to run me off the road anymore. Almost went with the X5 diesel. But the X6 blows it away. I suggest that you test drive an X6 before you pass judgement. OK. Most people posting here hate the X6. I actually like it.

Hats off BMW,I'm having that.

We’ll see it in late 2010 and it’ll hit the market in 2011. BMW will be busy with big launches in 2009, with the new Z4 (Geneva show) and the progressive activity sedan (PAS) about which I’ve blogged before here.

I think that BMW are wasting dosh on designing all of these soft-roaders/4x4s. Why can't they just concentrate their money on bringing out new coupes and saloons-what they do best. Although I have heard of the new 8-series concept, I still think that Beemer are wasting their time with the X1 etc. Whats the point of a car that is of the same size and ugliness as the X3?

Mainly, due to lack of demand... i mean who is going to pay for an X1 when its basically and even smaller more rubbish version of the X3? why would one pay good money for it when the other cars in the range are a far better choice? and once again the price will be at a 'Premium' since this is BMW...
