i was seriously considering the 635d but the prices are ridiclous - the base price is 10k more than the x6... I never thought that the 6er was that expensive.. And what turned me off was the fact that in a year or 2, there will be a new model. That was also the reason against the 535d with SAT I was looking at...
But still I think you made a good choice..........

That should NOT be a problem for you, changing cars every half year
But still I think you made a good choice..........

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?????
already did - placed the order this afternoon and wired my deposit. now 24 weeks of public transport before I get the x6...

Very nice. I really like the interior color (Chateu Leather). Is that the black flywheel aluminium interior trim or CF trims? In any case, they come out very good.

Welcome back mate and congrats on the new car
Nice colour combo -- hope you like the red interior this time! What's the drive like after your Active Steering E61... standard steering E60... E90 m-sport... and now the X6?
Have a great holiday!
ps. what car are you getting next?
