Well,

As many of you know, I did not like Britney Spears at all...but she grew on me. I would not mind taking her for a coffee at the local joe's cafe shop.

Anyway...now this is the main event. THE X6 is growing on me to a point that I think I will say bye to my third e6. Yes Yes I am falling in love with her. What F10 you are talking about? How can I fall in love with some one I barely know? At least I see the X6 daily.


Am I getting to carry away talking about that? Time to get my medicine

X6 is growing on me as well. I will seriously consider it when my other lease is up in less than 2 years.

I have to put my hand in front of my eyes to stop the pain each time I see one. There's a white one I (try not to) see about once a week and it's really hard not to puke at the sight of it.

Vlad and I saw a blue X6M at a BMW dealership on Saturday.

I thought it was really good looking.

Would I ever get a X6M over a F10 M5 (what I hope to get when my lease ends or if AWG turns to the dark side, changes her user name to CBG (Carbon Black Girl) and assumes the lease of my Carbon Black 550 meaning that I'm gunning for an E60 M5)? Not a chance.

I gotta have me a low center of gravity for the twisties. Incredibly, a recent test this month of the X6M in one of the national car mags indicated that the X6M has a higher lateral acceleration limit on the skippad than the E60 M5. Then again, by the end of a hot lap at the track, the X6M's brakes were fading fast acording to the car mag. Big brake fade is a deal breaker for me as that would not work on a road for Pa State Route 125. No big shock given that that thing weights more than 5,000 pounds.

I have to say I agree... It's a tremendous piece of engineering, but it truly is a horrible looking car.

I agree ... the engineering is great but for me it just doesn't synch up with the styling exercise these new cars are becoming.

It's one thing to be seen in the car ... but I'd prefer to be able to see OUT of the car - something nearly impossible to accomplish in these newer style Coupe-ized/SAVs.

I wonder if in the future we'll call them BMW's Gremlins (aka AMC) of the decade?

I see there are quite a few X6 haters in here.
