If is going to weight the same as the X5 then is dynamic won't be very diferent, maybe a low centric of gravity will help but about the rest?

Longer wheelbase and lower center of gravity will make it more dynamic and more agile than X5, hence the reason why they'll make an M version...

Dont forget Dynamic Performance Control (DPC), X5 doesnt have this to improve the handling.

I'm holding onto hope that they'll actually be produced, because those sleek mirrors are one of the key elements that reinforce the idea that this is a coupe-like SUV, and not a lumbering off-roader.
Even if those mirrors are not standard on the production model, they could still offer it as an option...
Often they show concepts that are sooo sexy, and when it comes to production they loose all those nice and sexy details.
The option list is already almost endless, so why not add some 'concept like' (individual options), i.e. those mirrors, or mashined aluminium knobs in the dashboard instead of plastic ones..Like extending the 'BMW Individual' idea from special colors and leather to other areas...Not that I have the money to buy it, but....

I still have a hard time believing that this car shares 70% (is that the right percentage) with the X5! While they are similar in some ways, the X6 just looks like a million bucks if you ask me. God knows this will start a new trend, I expect Audi, Benz and Porsche to roll out with their own.

First the M3, then this. What a good few months it has been for our beloved company.

Yep if this X6 is a hit, expect a MLS, MLR or MLE from Mercedes and a Jalapeño, Habanero or Cascabel from Porsche.
