very impressive , im loving it.

Here are the measurements : (Quote from Autobild /Eni)
LxWxH = 4875mm x 1990mm x 1676mm (X5: 4854 x 1933 x 1766)

Length and width are almost identical, small differences are probably caused by slightly different bumper...the width difference is probably caused 100% by slightly expanded wheel arches...
The height is 10 cm lower...5cm are caused by lowering the seating position (lowering the suspension) and the other 5 cm by lowering the roofline.

Judging by the 'extensive modifications' to the front facia, I would bet that the interior is also almost unchanged...

I tried to photoshop the front zooming in to microscopic level to find a difference to the X5 front....I am really surprised to see that they did not even change the head lights substancially... Maybe under the tape is some little design feature hidden , maybe a little eyebrow thing...As you see, I am desperate trying to find even a little modification of the front......
OK they changed the front bumper....this is how the X5 M-Sportpackage should have looked like



Don't get me wrong...I love the X5, imo its the best designed SUV, interior and exterior- wise out there.....and I am sure the X6 will be a very nice car...but in relation to the expectatons created, its a serious disappointment...

But maybe this is the ultimate camoflage... putting the original X5 bootlid and original X5 headlights on it just to confuse us......;-)
If I think about it, thats the only solution that makes sense....and in September they will surprise us with the real beast

don't put your hopes up mate, the past has shown that the nearly unmasked prototypes are what we get
the other thing that has proven to be true, is that the 100% tabe free cars look 100% better

What is going on in BMW?
I am disappointed with the X6, and the reviews from the M3 have not being stellar.

I was just kidding and venting my frustration....I am sure it will still be a stunning car in the right color and with 20+ inch wheels.
The one in the photos seems to have a quite high ride (does not seem to be lowered in comparison to X5.)
Lowering it would contribute to a little more agressive stance

Those are very tiny differences and I hope that BMW have design related trixs making the car look wide and sporty IRL.

It is wearing very little camo now. does it mean that it will be launched before new year?

don't put to much into reviews, in the last couple of years reviewers got very wierd - sometimes it seems as if they don't see the forest because of that many trees

1. Yes, the stance is very sporty & aggressive, despite being only an "X5 coupe".

2. Yes, press release is expected after IAA, sometimes in October (perhaps early November). 1er cabrio, M3 cabrio & MINI Clubman press releases also coming in the next months. Plus the special IAA press release. X6 is expected to hit showrooms in late February / early March 2008.

When is the X6 going to hit dealerships?
Will we get both the N54 and N64 engines with the release?
Is BMW going to announce the release with the 2008 X5?

First Infiniti EX then Audi Cross Coupe and now BMW X6. Sport Activity Coupes are style over function with the lowered roofs.
