The BMW X6 is like a Mercedes CLS. If you want the practical version you go for a BMW X5 / MB E-Class but if you want to ride in a car that looks sleeker, more dynamic and sporty you take the X6 / CLS over the X5 / E-Class.

In my book the X6 is till on top since all we got is one comparison saying something else. And that is an American article - values differ. Infinity being a great example. So, lets face it and get real with ourselves... | | | | | Me for President

That's the way I see it.  | Thats true,mate..more or less 
X6 on paper doesn´t make any sense IMO..but,when you see it for the first time in person(like I did 2 months ago on ZG Auto Show) you begin to see its purpose..and its beauty..and power..  | | | | | Fanatic

Sunny my man.. Thats such a wide arguement with no basisn at all!
In order actually prove that the cars would have to be tested on the same day under the same conditions.. Even if you want to compare it to the SLK..
But then again what does the SLK have to do with an All-Wheel drive hybred
that weights 800-to 1000lbs more and has 4-doors.
We need to stay on topic please. | | | | |
