What have they done???? It looks hideous...the hunchback of notre dame looks better than this abomination

[Armen383]

Cars like this are a matter of taste. Those who liked the original X6, would just love the new one and I'm sure BMW will sell loads. Those who totally disliked the X6 looks in the first place (like me), will just say "meh" again

I actually quite like the original; hence my reaction

[Deda]

Thnx for pics!

coool. like those TFT displays

The X6 offers zero improvements over the F15 aesthetically and loses interior/cargo space while most likely costing more money. Bmw will say it handles better but people buying suv's don't exactly care for that .02 second improvement at the Ring.

I'll take the X5 over this any day of the week.

First CLS was an still is the best looking "4 door coupé". First X6 was an IMO still is best looking "SUV coupé". No feeling this new one. New MLC is interesting, but interior is old, at least the X5/X6 being old, have an updated interior. Cayenne facelift is just around the corner, and IMO best in class.

For some reason the rear lights look odd, almost too large... I assume the same TFT display will be available on the 2015 X5?

[Baunton]

Is it me, or is that two-tone leather seating combo really naff

So they insist to launch a brand new carwith an outdated instrument cluster. When will BMW wake up that the world is digital now?

Look closer. It is digital ... it's an LCD display ...



As seen eg. in F01 7er:

X5 is getting it too ... with the upcoming new MY.

I have an X5 now, X6 drove a lot better, u gotta take it for a ride before you bash it, it drives amazing

Here we do again with X5 vs X6 comparo
What's different now?
Just another year and newer versions of the same models

People buy X6 because they like the way it looks and drives
And yes, it's a much better drive than X5

Get over it

In the old gen...the x5/x6 looked different up front.

It looks like this time around they used the exact front end from the new X5...

[sand99]

Going to reserve judgment until I see what the M Sport version looks like. I really don't like the chrome trim on those air breathers though. And yeah, I wish they did more to separate the front of the X6 from the X5.

6WB (digital instrument cluster) is confirmed for MY15 X5s in Europe, but the US order guide posted on this forum last week doesn't list it. Similarly, the US X6 order guide didn't mention it either.

Given that these are photos of a non-US spec X6, it remains to be seen if they'll offer 6WB over here, at least initially. We don't even get BMW Individual on the X5 yet...

[JustChris]

All subjective. People buy it as they love it. The side on picture doesn't look too great. Rear 3/4 images are nice. Interior is

I actually think the Previous X6's front looked very similar to the X5 with the exception on the fog lights placement... Just like the New generation X6 and X5 have pretty much the same front.

I really do love how the previous X6 looked especially the rear. The new generation rear looks like BMW design team ran out of time and just came up with something quick.

And I also agree that the X6 drives and handles much better than the X5 due to its better balance and the weight is about 200 lbs lower on the X6. The X6 is lower, wider as well. The torque vectoring also helps. It is a coupe after all

And I hate those full digital clusters. the one in the S class is hideous and the one on the i8 cheap. The one thats digital but keeps the needles are the best. gives it that 3d look. my opinion of course

In all honesty, this new X6 looks exactly like a bigger X4. Notice the rear change where the arc of the rear windows are. They are shorter than previous years. I don't know if they shortened the height or just made the windows shorter. I just think BMW is trying to make their cars look too similar now. The 5 series resembles the 7 series much more than previous years. It seems the X4 and X6 are following the same concept.

I don't think the exterior looks bad because the front definitely copies our F15s, but the interior two tone here looks quite ugly.

Since the X6 drives/handles better than X5. I guess good assumption that X4 is better than X3 for same reasons, I will soon find out. For most, the x6 looks either its a hit or miss, for me it is a big hit. I think the x6 has reduced rear visibility. Two tone, a big miss.

Great points. I know someone with an X6M, and it definitely is a monster and handles quite well due to being lower. You ordered an X4? What are your build specs? Looking forward to hearing about it!
