You can get a new X5 4.8i for the price of the X6 3.0tt.
Those things are overpriced. Less utility than a X5 but more money????

If the F10 is 20% more than now then I think I will change to Audi

Still not really understanding the target market for this car? Not a crossover, not a full-size SUV (but it costs that).

target market is the Lexus RX or Infiniti FX, these things are all over and have no real utility, but women love to drive them, so if you had to buy your wife a small suv, wouldnt you choose a bmw over the current Lexus or Infiniti alternatives??
