Don't believe the hype... As you and I both know, their is no such thing as lifetime fluids. I have always followed what Mercedes-AMG has recommended for my E63. My regiment is:
Oil change every year, but I change mine every 6 months.
Brake Fluid, Power Steering Fluid every 2 yrs.
Engine Coolant, Transmission, Transfer Case and Front and Rear Differentials every 4 yrs.
I would also recommend changing out the Intercooler Fluid every 4 yrs.
This is just a good maintenance schedule to follow. 
I asked BMW of Fairfax, about changing the tranny fluid, and got the same answer. So I purchased and transmission service kit; filter, gasket, and bolts, etc.
And will get the TF fluids sometime next month. I don't trust what BMW is telling me. They are waiting, for us not to change the fluids, then when the inevitable happens, you have to $$$$ pay up. |
from my understanding on paper the RRS SVR should better in terms of performance on paper.
interior space : SVR
interior practicality: X6.. the touch screen functions on the SVR are terrible while driving.
The exhaust sound on the SVR is a symphony.
you would need a tune or an upgrade for the X6 to match the sound on the SVR.
in terms of handling the X6 should be better on corners.. can someone confirm?
regarding snow and bad roads, it all comes to tires and your style of driving.
nonetheless, I would not buy any of them without warranty.
