New X6

Finished the lease on my Wife's F15 and got into 2016 F16. Was going to wait for 2017, but I got a great deal on a 2016 model.

how is the visibility in a X6 vs X5. What kept me from getting an X6 50i.
Seemed to me, had more blind spots ????

I was worried about that as well and made sure the wife took out for test drive multiple times. It never bothered her, she said it feels like the back of a car. Took it out for 200 mile ride east end of Long Island and didn't bother me at all.

Took it out for 200 mile ride today thru highway and winding roads. It definitely handled better then the X5. Don't know if it was because of the 20 inch wheels, but definitely tighter and more responsive then the X5.

i love the dash...

Hi there - How is the ride/handling ? My local BMW dealer here in the UK has a mega deal on a pre-registered X6 however it has the standard suspension (similar to yours I guess although this car is a 4.0d). Here it seems that you can now only order the car in MSport specification which comes with M Adaptive suspension. There's been some talk on the forums about the new X5 being 'wallowy/making folks car sick so I'm a little worried about buying a Non M-Sport suspension car.. With all of that said, I do intend to do some big miles in it, so looking for some comfort ! Thanks!

Honestly, I can't really tell the difference between msport package and non. My wife's x5 had the msport package and the X6 doesn't. All I could tell is you that the ride on the X6 feels stiffer than the x5. I don't drive it often since It's not my daily ride,

I don't know if the 20" wheels or the weight of the car, it drives like a beast.

I sometimes prefer driving it over my Macan s

Aha ok thanks usta, that feedback might persuade me that the SE will be just fine - it's also on 20" wheels. It has some really good options on it and is probably some £4-5k GBP cheaper than an equivalent M Sport.

Interesting to hear that you like it as much as your Macan - that car is often described as the reference over in the UK in terms of roadholding & handling !

I have the same on my '17 X6. I was looking around online, any style recommendation? My car is also white and I'm working on doing some black things (X6 emblem, fender vents, etc).
