Just tried the X6 3.5...

Not a bad drive! Acceleration is not what i hoped.... but for a "family" car its pretty good!

Would buy it over the Q7 but i want MORE performance!

if performance is your priority, then the gtr is a v good choice, faster than 911 turbo and r8 in most tests. however, its a v6.

Its not a V6 BUT like you say, it performs exceptionally well.

Friend of mine who had a Ferrari 599 said the GTR was just as fast on the straight and cornered faster....

Yeah...the facelifted gtr can sprint 0-60 in 2.9sec. Bonkers!!
The only downside with gtr is 4wd, which not much fun compare with rwd.

X6 is not a performance car and would not shout you. You need some thing even better than that.
have you had a look at the GTR?
I am trying to get mike on Monday but I can not find him.

Also dose any 1 have Danny number new F10 guy?
