True... you know the V8 versions would have probably done a few notches better, even without AMG or M packages.

| The reason why the X6 won is because the car has a higher load and toe capacity than the S-Class and therefore has very strong brakes. Other SUVs should have comparable brake distances, but nevertheless the car danced through the cones in a pretty manner. So it gets a thumb up from me. |

| In Drivers Republic big SUV comparison , they were mighty impressed by the brakes on X6. They said it was the best brakes they ever tried on a BMW. It's obvious the X6 is gifted with some impressive brakes that makes many other cars jelous. The brakes on X6M is going to be bloody brilliant.
