Does the ECU need to be removed to be flashed?

One ugly car! Purely based on the X6 package it was built from, nothing but nothing but NOTHING will ever make this car look good for me!

Sorry, just stating ones opinion.

X6M has been returned to the owner, I'll see if he can drop by for a followup and we'll get some video/audio.
Hope no one is holding their breath..
I know of this guy and he's not the type to bring the car all the way back for some clips.

To be honest.. my opinion with the newer BMW suvs is that, because of how all the 3D physical lines are laid out with the vehicle, I think it requires a color that is 50% darker than white to really look nice and sleek because of the way the paint job is with the massive waxing look.

When the vehicle is closer to 50% white like pure white, the lines don't really show and looking at the vehicle from the back makes it look like just red lights and the bumper exhaust area. It looks dull and plain.

You know what I mean.

The rump on the X6 is huge! I think the lines on the X5 looks better but thats just me.

Good choice on parts though, and it must sound epic.

That's a good picture of a black car, but I also think black doesn't show off the lines very well on this car. I test drove a black X5M, and it just looked like a regular X5. I could barely see any details. On my DG X5M every line stands out.

That is beautiful. Jesus.

I think the X6M would look awesome with an M4 Style wing how it isn't just a poke up it goes down abit with the boot also.

I had the ER Catless Down Pipes on my 17 X5M paired with the Eisenmann Race Exhaust and it sounded like a pack of wild wolves fighting. Vicious! It was to much for my wife so they are currently for sale in the classifieds.
