Delivered New X6 M50d - With Photo! & Another & 2 More & Dirty X6

Hi folks, I collected my new X6 M50D on Mon - one of the first ones in UK. I will put up photos when it is back from the detailers, at the weekend. So far so good 35UK mpg on trip at 70-80mph, pretty good although only a bonus as I got it for its performance and even being gentle I can tell it is fast! Thanks for all the posts and tips over the past 7 months. Voice recognition seems to work well, remarkable. Photos soon

After 400 miles across Europe including snow and ice where the stock continental tyres only just coped! Off to BMW Masstricht Mon to order some 20" wheels and snow/ice tyres.

So you picked up the car from where ? And then handed it over to the dealer ?

Congrats btw :-)

Valerianich Really, how very insightful of you to spot the bl**ding obvious. The fact remains, as alistairg and greentrbo95gst have stated, THIS THREAD IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT PICTURES.

Big sense of expectation building up now! I'm looking forward to seeing them but to start the thread with no pics is :-(

By the way I tried asking BMW if someone could photograph my car which is still at Spartunburg.... Was told it's extremely difficult ;-((((

Was this one of those email deals, where the person's uncle is an auditor at a BMW dealer in a country whose name ends in the letter "a"? Where they discover they have received an extra X6 M50d in the lot, and you all you have to do is transfer 75% of the price, and the title can be sent to you, guaranteed by using an online escrow / settlement service? And, they even guarantee delivery to EU in 12 days from funding date?

We want to see seawalls, tulips, windmills, canals, bicycles, ice skating in the background of your pictures.

Photo At Detailers

As requested and once finished I'll post the shinny version....!!!!!

My detailer just called and all done just waiting on the coatings to set and then lunchtime Fri for collection. He said despite the BMW vehicle distribution centre and dealer not touching the vehicle there were quite a few minor defects. The worst being the bonnet probably where the dealer took off that white protective sheet so that it was roadworthy for me and also around the handles probably from at the factory with workers in and out. However, he advised this is very common across all marques! I also forgot to mention that I do not have that mobile phone thing taking up space in the centre arm rest - bonus. Digital dashboard was also fab and red leather the bees knees.

Finally, GPGT.

Oh, that's Singaporean speak - "Got Picture, Got Talk", as opposed to NPNT which was the case earlier

Congratulations on the new ride!!
