Hey guys spotted this production level 50i X6 out on public roads.The first production 50i I've spotted.Beautiful VR,Non Sport w/ 19" Style 257 wheels and running boards.Means 50i production is well underway.Hope these pic's upload ok....I'm in Alaska on a family vacation and the internet connections are poor in the places we are staying.Thanks!!!!

Finally ran into this DSB X6 I've seen around town a few times.Not seen many X6 owners post up DSB pic's....not sure if DSB has turned out to be an unpopular color choice or just limited production by BMW. Thanks! PalBay

I said I would periodically post pic's of the SC BMW Plant Expansion.The new 1.2 Million sq/ft Assembly Hall has reached a milestone this week.It has started to go vertical.The big building in the background that is still under construction is the Paint Shop expansion.The 2nd Gen X3 will be built here starting in 2010 and a yet unannounced 4th "X" brand.Thanks!

haha yea they are absolutely well underway. I've been working with these bad boys for a while. They were all supposed to be shipped abroad though! These things sound ridiculous if you haven't heard one yet. At idle, I'd argue it's the best sounding BMW out there right now. Haven't been able to rev them unfortunately.

Or those pics taken on Woodruff rd? If so, I think that's where I got my haircut the other day. Really enjoying my job and Greenville!!

Yep,Woodruff Rd.Without a doubt the 50i X6 has the most intoxicating exhaust note.... at idle and WOT,IMO of any current BMW and most other Sports Cars I've heard.BTW, Greenville is a VERY nice place to live.Been in the area approaching 20yrs.Very hard to beat....given the size of the town.Thanks much!

So I got to drive a V8 TT, Mineral Silver Metallic on Chateau Nevada leather and it was absolutely the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The color is pretty hard to capture. I didn't even know it was Mineral Silver rather than Ti Silver until it was in the lab under bright lights, then it reminded me of the Individual color Moonstone. And the red leather just made it irresistible. Fully loaded, I mean every single option was checked apart from heated seats since it was destined for the Middle East.

What a car. I'm absolutely in love with this thing, even over Black Sapphire. .

Interesting you should mention Mineral Silver.When I pull the trigger on an X6.....Mineral Silver has always been my first color choice.I saw the color early on in the X6 development timeline.Loved the color....but did not see any other Mineral Silvers until BMW was pretty deep into the X6 launch.Got to be the "Classiest" color on the X6.I've test driven several 35i's but no 50i's.Can't wait to drive the TTV8.Thanks!
