Coming from a 2010 X6 50i and 2013 X6M, I ordered a 2016 X6 50i loaded - without test driving because I assumed they would still be the same. I hated it. It was cushy, floaty, loose steering. I felt completely disconnected from the road. This is why I was on a mission to find the M to test drive. I felt the difference in the M before I even got out of the dealers lot. I will never order a car again without test driving. Funny, I didn't test drive any of my previous 5 BMWs.

Just my $.02
That was actually a joke. But in comparison from an F15, the F85 will not feel cushy, floaty, with loose steering.
