sorry mate - not for us in vienna. i test drove the car - it was a blast but 20l/100km is just not an option for me.... I am going for the "economical" cruiser: xdrive30d

Don't worry .. you'll spend more money than you'd burn in petrol in 20 years for those car switches trust me .. with the X6, it's the only way to stay satisfied Don't make the same mistake again! How about M3 DCT?

Enjoy the X6. I saw one at my office earlier this week. Not my cup o' tea, but change is good. Love that color combo, though.

ha ha - the m3 dct??? you are aware, the m3 means road tax here in uastria 200 eur per month

the x6 xdrive30d is affordable - only 100 per month... regarding consumption, omney is not the big issue but the psychology is critical. how would you feel to pay 100 eur to fill your tank and only get as far as 400 km?????
I think it's still worth paying the extra .. or buy the M3 here Just make a 100Km trip and you save 2400 eur per year

I hope you will be satisfied with the x6 .. and I think you will! You have a great taste in colors / materials used, this combination will be very nice.

How much have you payed for all your BMWs already?

Great color combo choice! Just make sure you don't opt for the upgrade sound system, it sucks big big time compare to the Logic7 I had on my e60.
