gross monstrosity, completely useless and denegrates the entire M brand as nothing more than a \\\Marketing scheme...a true tragedy of Shakespearean proportions
nonsense! Lots of 5000lb+ cars are nimble... NOT

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

My last car was a 545 SMG and my next will be the F10 550, just couldn't pass up the 535 with software for the in-between car.

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...

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.
XM5 and XM6 would just make it sound like a radio station
