I agree. Honestly I don't know why I've never had a X6 in my stable. I always looked at them out on the road passing by and thought they were cool/nice/aggressive for an SUV. I've had 3 X5's so far all 50i's and all new 18', 19', 21'. Liked every one of them but dont really need the utility aspect of the hatch back for my needs. Maybe thats why the X6 is attractive?

But then you look at the X5 and its beauty/presence as a fully usable SUV...... The X5 is timeless the hatch back SUV got rolled before it will again... Pontiac Too me its like who goes and says I WANT a crossover were the roof line kills space and costs more..

Fairly nice day expected - for December in Wisconsin standards - so why not take it to the office.

I have to admit this X6 50iM looks pretty cool, but have heard others refer it to a Pontiac Aztec!

Friday heading down the 101 to Chandler for a work Xmas party there was a guy/gal in a 2023 X6MC. Going by the 50 anniversary badges for the assumption on the year. The X6MC either has the hottest stock exhaust or it was modded. Either way the sound was glorious and could hear it when it barked in the cabin of my coupe with the B&W pretty cranked.

Tis the season to park in far away places...... Fa la la la la, la la la la!

I have a x6mc and you can barely use that trunk for anything. That shit is great at transporting cabin air - zero real utility. Only thing I've put back there is a backpack for my laptop but have stopped doing that cuz I just leave it in the back seat since no one else sits back there. I'm prolly an outlier here but I like the way it looks a little better compared to the x5mc. Both are beautiful tho btw.

I love the bulldog view--- its not practical but I like the optics for sure.

Irony it's on the consideration list as fully loaded including the executive package (why does that even exist?) puts it at $133K MSP (that includes AR and the grey Individual full leather).

When I was in the market, I was thinking about AR over silverstone but couldn't get it delivered by end of year so ended up with BSM over sakir (off the lot) which I've been thoroughly pleased with. Hope your deal works out.

Not a deal yet but on the short list of replacements for 2024 when the 2020 M850i factory warranty is up.

Should have added that I have zero utility in the coupe now outside of the pretty decent trunk size. Back seats take care of the laptop bag, box of Kleenex and sun visor when not in use. Guessing a XM6 has more home Depot run utility than that. 😜

Finally got my official registration and the trip to the BMV was only moderately painful.

Testing. Can you all tell a difference in clarity/sharpness between the pic in the previous and this post?

there is a bit more clarity in the fonts on the signs in the back ...

Yes, the second one seems more clear/smoother. I uploaded the first one via the app direct from my phone and the second I emailed to myself and then uploaded it via the browser on my desktop. Not sure if there is a setting in the app to upload better pics or not, but the pics via the app always come out wonky.

I find that using the attachment process here compresses the quality...

If you have hosting site then just use that url and wrap the IMG tags around it ...

Yea, it's just extra hassle to take a pic, upload it to a pic on a hosting site and then link from there, especially if it's just a non-exciting BMV parking lot pic that doesn't necessarily need to stick around forever in the cloud on my end as I'd likely delete the pic tomorrow even from my phone. What site are you using?

taking a pic via my process is simple as google hosts my pics and I just right click, copy, click on the mountain icon here and poof its there.

Im not saying others need or should do it but I was just saying, since you started the clarity bit, that the attachment process here is lower quality.

I'll give the process a look. Thanks. I've noticed your pics are always pretty clear.

Thanks and obviously the end user needs a clear viewing device too or the pictures are not brilliant.

Your shots are great too already--- was the BMV one via a cell?
