It may not have the visual pop some want, but its just as subtle as the M5 and M6 to my eyes. The important thing is how does it drive. Based on my drive of a X6 35i model this thing will be ridiculous. I like it myself.

The wheels are simply too small!

It needs 2" bigger, definitely, the gap is simply too big.

But why did they offer old M6 wheels for this car.
They look similar, but not exactley the same.





As for the monster, looks like as expected. What I want to know is performance and how many sports cars/sedans it is going to humiliate.

BMW is gonna annihilate everyone with this one, maybe even the Panamera Turbo. The X6 50i is already a great car, this is gonna be even better.

If you think about it, it is really only the E30 M3 and, as a parenthesis, the M1 that really stand out. This is of course except the CSL and GT models.
