Pity about the daft X6 xDrive50i nomenclature. What a mouthful. "So, what do you drive?" "I drive a BMW X6 xDrive 50i" "Wow - 12 syllables - that's quite boastful. Is the number of syllables synonymous with status? If so, I'm off to buy a Subaru WRX STI Spec C Type RA-R! I'll see your twelve syllables and raise you five!" "Whatever..." "OK, so xDrive 50i, that makes it a 5 litre-what...V8?" "Well actually it's a 4.4 litre bi-turbo V8. BMW wanted to call it an xDrive-four-point-four-eye but that would've made it 13 syllables which was considered unlucky." "Ohhh... so this is the same engine as in a 650i?" "No, that's a naturally aspirated 4.8 litre V8..." "Erm..." ![]()

To all my fellow GCZers who will be at the NY Show, you'll def. know it's me, I'll be the selfish gal who won't let anyone else sit in the driver seat, and hugging it like it's all mine, now don't touch or else I will snap ![]()

What is next? M3 rDrive42i? I think the not so fine line of difference between a 'name' and a 'description' is lost on these fellows. A name doesn't have to cram in every attribute of an object. |
