I still love the X6 M though
Ah, see, now you've gone and opened up a whole new Pandora's box of arguments. Luckily, I'm a huge turbo proponent - you may even say I'm a twin turbo proponent

BMW is running a X6M in the One lap this year being driven by the M-school Instructors from the plant there in SC....
Should be very interesting to see how it holds up. Last year they finished 3rd in the "sedan" category with a Fleet M3 4door that they got from the M-school... needless to say it had been Ragged the F... out before they got it. They would have finished higher if not for a slip up at the one of the drag strips... they did a big burn out then activated the Launch control...The cars computers would not launch the car due to extreme temps in the gear box and M Diff. the car bogged and the got a horrid time... They lost out to some "lightly" modded Audi's...

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
(WAAAAAYYYYY better than my previous MB E350, but quite a bit more expensive :( )
i'd buy the X6M if it came in manual transmission! It's a HOT looking car! It's HUGE and looks like it wants to eat you alive!!! I still think they should call it the XM6 or XM5 not the X6M. And definitely not MX5 or MX6. Makes it look like a Mazda.
Oh yeah. BTW, from now on, I will never buy an AMG. I'll only purchase cars with manual transmissions. There's no more fun driving without a clutch IMO. I dont care what anyone thinks.
