Wasn't expecting that...

Quite like the look of the X6 M 4.7 to 60 seem quick for cars that size.

not even with the 35d engine ? surely that returns a decent mpg ?!

i do like the X6, if i needed a big family car/jacked coupe/4x4/sports car (what actually is it by the way ) i would have one, but i dont so i wont be

I have a 35d X6 and around town it gets mid-20s mpg but on a long run from the South of England to Scotland the other day it scored 29 mpg driving between 75-85 mpg with spirited acceleration (as usual). Driven more sedately you can get low 30s mpg.

Of note, the bad roads in Ayrshire coupled with the hard suspension really started to get on my nerves as every ridge and pot-hole jarred me physically and mentally!

That sounds no worse than my 325i - impressive stuff
I saw one of these at my local dealership last week - I think they look great, although I think colour and wheel choice is very important.
The example I liked best had gloss black 21" wheels - it looked very mean.

There's a couple of the 35d's around my way and have to say that they look so much better in the flesh than the pics. Like the interior as well.
