Photos of my new 2016 F16 X6

bmw_za · 12-17-2014, 12:24 PM

U mentioned quirks? What are they?

stupot · 12-17-2014, 12:41 PM

Congrats on the new car.

Looks great, although as someone else has mentioned, the wheels look tiny. Same as on my X5, wheel/body just don't sit right.

F15/16 really need 21"s, wish BMW would make that a factory option for small price uplift instead of dealer fit, which costs a fortune.

Is it even possible to get the analog speedometer in the new X6? In the USA and in Europe? Is it the same with the X5? Because I am not a fan of this digital one.

Maybe I'm too into the detail... But how did you manage to take the photo without a CF card? (And it should be a DSLR...)

+ 1. The needles should b there. That said bmw's are the best looking fully digital. The S class are hideous.

Lovely combo! Do you have the HK system? Are you happy with it?

Of course you can. It just be a step back.

You just need the 6WA cluster then coding.

good god that front bumper is ugly.. i have a feeling a lot of people will be swapping that to the x6m or definitely adding lips/splitters/anything to make it look better.

love the white and the interior for sure! thanks for sharing the photos with us

Falafel Combo · 12-17-2014, 02:37 PM

Congrats!

IMO, the X4 cheapens the X6 tremendously. My first thought when I saw your car was, wow looks like a bigger X4.

VMRWheels · 12-17-2014, 02:58 PM

Congrats, looks awesome!

agree 100% the 20's on M sport look tiny. Ironically though the 20's on the xline look fine, chalk it up to the wheel design I guess

Beautiful!

Great looking X5! Like the wheels.

turbotoy4me · 12-17-2014, 06:33 PM

X6 looks Awesome. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Love the interior!!

Wobbles · 12-17-2014, 06:46 PM

Now I wish I had fewer free-loading relatives to cart around so I could be seen driving around town in an X6 instead of my mini-bus of an X5

- jokes aside, the X6 looks simply awesome. Congratulations @barbja

templarklimek · 12-17-2014, 06:55 PM

Sorry, got mine a few days ago!

@-=DC=- Can you share some more pics of your car, maybe in your on post, i haven’t seen that red wheels white f15 combo before, would be interesting to see from some more angels.

The long haul · 12-17-2014, 08:15 PM

Interior is well done. Looks great overall but that front bumper is just terrible.

Bimar · 12-17-2014, 09:50 PM

barjba when you get a moment lets us know about the quirks.

ARMASPEED · 12-17-2014, 11:49 PM

is that a LED dash board?

templarklimek · 12-18-2014, 08:44 AM

Mine is, 2015 x6 50i

TonyX6 · 12-19-2014, 11:21 AM

Just bought a new X6 2015 Xline 5.0 and when I drive with the window open it makes a weird whistle. The noise sound like it comes from the mirror. Anyone having the same problem or no anything about it?
BTW the V8 is the bomb !
I had a X6 3.5 for the last four years and was so upset when I traded that in !
