As long as the DPs are OEM, it will not throw a CEL with an aftermarket exhaust.

The E53 X5 4.6is and the subsequent E53 4.8is led the way down the path of the E71 X6.

Overwhelmingly male, the prospective owners wanted more extreme, which led to the X6.

Cut roofline, lower suspension, hatchback and seating for four and later optional seating for five.

Dealers were scared they wouldn't sell and stayed away from them.

Other manufacturers watched as BMW made serious money and exploited and niche market that nobody knew about, but they did since the could develop it from the E70 X5 chassis.

Now the Mercedes-Benz GLC (?), VW's Audi is working on a Q6 and Toyota's considering one for their "Lexus" brand.

Honda tried and failed miserably with the "Acura ZDX" and in its final year on the market it sold 410 units. Yes, that's 410 units.

The American market didn't want a Honda Accord based crossover with beak in the front and rear that was priced out of its element.

With sales of 235,850 E71 X6 units in its lifecycle BMWs competitors and perceived competitors have watched them rake in huge profits long enough and want in on the upscale "SUV Coupe" market niche.

I like how it accentuates the turbos spooling. Sounds good!

I wish the M3/M4 had the same engine and sounded like this. I would buy it in a heart beat.

I had a the F80 M3 then switched to the X5M. The F80 had a very hard time putting power to the ground, even with 295 MPSS. A V8 TT would upset the weight distribution and make traction worst.

The S55 is one of the best engines ever produced by BMW. Closed deck construction, plasma iron deposited cylinder walls, fast spooling turbos, and the DCT is the best I've driven.

It's leap and bounds compared to a regular 335i, making 480HP crank. It does lack in the sound department, which good exhaust like AWE/Fabspeed/Armytryx can fix. In short, I wouldn't cross off the M3/M4 just because it doesn't have a V8. The S55 is brilliant, light yet very powerful..

Well, next to this clip

It's sounds like a sissy imo.
V8 just sounds lazy, give me a I6 or a V12 any day, much much better sound!

To be fair, the x6 only fits four people if the two in back are tiny. If your head hits the roof, you don't "fit". As much as I like the the look of the x6, I think it is more coupe than suv...to its detriment, if you need or want the suv part.

I think I stated that twice that it seats four and seating for five was an option.

And the C-pillar is known for its head-banging angle.
