I think X6M has a much more aggressive stance and a different character but I am obviously biased.

In reality, I just like driving a mini-bus, truck, SUV, SAV whatever. Ultimately, in my humble opinion, when we end up signing on the dotted line for a car purchase, we more often go with our hearts, and less with our heads. I mean, there's just wifey and me, no kids, no dogs, nobody else - and I drive a big bad ass X5. Can't get more environmentally unfriendly than that! For that same reason, a family of 2 + 2 + the family pet might find it perfectly acceptable to barrel down the highway in an X6 - to each their own, and that's what makes life interesting |

Yes, X5 has more cargo room, but it's not like it is twice as much When I had it as a loner, I felt like I was driving a bus. Cargo wasn't that impressive. As for MPG, it's not 30, but I'm getting 23 on the freeway. I'm sure you can squeeze more from the new gen. After all, how many times you do road trips? |

X6M very wide will NOT handle as well and as you say does not have the luggage space of the X5. I now have the M6 GC CP and use winter 20" michelin Alpin PA4's on it for winter., no problems so far. PS) 3''+ snow and it stays in the Garage though, I then use a KIA Rio 1.4 Diesel, it goes anywere but slowly

Ray knight, I think you'll be very content with the X6M choice. It's a very nice looking vehicle .
I really do like this X5M Individual Pyrite Brown though...very elegant/unique. You'll enjoy this video as well:

The X6 does handle well for its size though. I agree that its super-wide. I've said before, I'd prefer if it were 3" smaller in every direction. If they produced a car that's an X4 on the outside (with double square pipes) and an X6 on the inside, I'd buy it even if it were more expensive than the super-wide version (you know, like when smaller cell phones used to be more expensive than big ones).

I love the look of X6 but it just defeats the purpose of SUV, which then I'd rather have a 6 series for fun. |

The X6M will behave just like the M5 in the snow as long as the X6M has the summer performance tires on.. If you get winter tires on the X6M then yes it will be driveable... Same with your M5... put on winter tires and you can drive it during winter too..

I think a guy with a GL will always look at an X5 and wonder how there is ever enough space for a fully loaded trip in an X5. After all, with the third row seats down, there is so much more space in the GL. It doesn't make the X5 any less useful. I feel the same way about an X6. it's useful in 90% of times unless you are always hauling a tone of things and need that small extra that an X5 offers.

Good eye, I just noticed it on the windshield top area as well. Still, pretty decent Photoshop. I would love to see that color in real life on a BMW.

The new X6M has a great interior, updated engine and better dynamics. It can't match an M5, but if you don't use it on tracks, it's a great toy!

opasha, what is the name of the color on the first picture? Do you know if it is available in the US?

No clue. It's a custom color someone made through photoshop on top of the original Laguna Blue.
