Which version the 6 cylinder or the behemoth turbocharged V8?

In my opinion for an SUV I always recommend a V8 because, a more powerful engine is better for overall performance.

3.0L engine is better for me, I dont want to spend too much money on gas.

I would get a black/black V8 X6. I use to hate the X6 when it first came out but my opinion changed when I seen one in the showroom, wow did it look good.

X5 4.8 ftw. What's the point of a truck that has the same amount of seats and headroom as my coupe?

To start, it's got 2 more doors than your coupe so your passengers don't have to climb into the back. It's got a lot more trunk space.

If you've ever sat in the back, it's a lot more spacious then it looks. I believe it's got more leg room as well. I'm 6'2" and I'm comfortable in the back, as for the e92, I can't sit straight up when I'm sitting in the back. I think it's got the comfort of a SUV. It's a little odd that such a big trunk has only four seats, but look at the high end sedans, a lot of them have only 4 seats and that's the exact reasoning behind it.

My only complaint is rearward visibility. Other than that, I love it!

Love the X6 except for the loose feeling steering.
It just doesn't have that tight 3 series steering feel, too bad.
