Palbay's X6 Pics and Videos Thread

[PeTo_H]

Hello everyone,

I am pretty excited about this new X6, just wondering what to order (btw. I am from Slovakia, Europe), if 35i, 35d or to wait for 50i... currently stuck with old 528iA (already driven over 300 000 km so quite a time to change it
I like petrol better than diesel, but there is a question if the 35i is as fast, or lets say as flexible in acceleration between speed as 35d... and as I have read somewhere the 50i production should start in October, so that means for me Delivery December 3008, and that is quite a while until then

Please give me some advice. Thanx. Peter

PeTo_H, May I suggest you take a look at X6 World.A person posted a great writeup on just this subject regarding the different engine choices for the X6.This person post under Steved.This person resides in Europe and is much more knowledgeable about all things diesel than I am.You'll just need to ck the post under Steved.It's a long post you can't miss it.It's been within the past 30 days.One point I'll add.If your into Sporty and that includes the exhaust note,you will want either the 35i or 50i petrol.Both have awesome exhaust notes.The diesels are much more subdued.Thanks.

Tanks a lot Palbay for you post, as well as for all you pictures, videos (hepled me to hear the sound of 35i) and all you work regarding the X6. Good job (Y)

[Palbay]

Glad to help.I think you will really like the X6 if that's the direction you decide to go.Thanks. PalBay

I will order X6 thats for sure, but it is hard to choose between 35i and 35d ... still not sure, at best I would take 50i but thats means longer waiting and also a little more money to spend on it.

Steved is also a member here under different name.

Caught what might be the first X6 commercial being filmed at the Performance Center today.Based on these pics and vids,it is clear who BMW believes is the most direct competition for the X6 xDrive50i:The Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Infiniti FX45.The pics show what I think are the interior stills being shot,the vids show the movie camera hanging off the door of the X6.I'll get the vids posted tomorrow.This also might actually be a training vid for dealers,I'm just not sure.Thanks.PalBay

Ooooooh....be careful. BMW isn't going to like seeing this on the net!
