I guess my contacts have become a little too vague & not really trustworthy lately.

Regarding Huck: I guess AutoBild got some of the spy pics well in advance (exclusively), before they hit internet & other media. So Huck was able to made his CGI based on partially uncovered X6. Or even more possible: BMW "moles" provided AutoBild exclusive "spy shots". Just like MB & Audi provide such pics, or "unofficial" sketches.

Remember Huck's first X6 impressions?

This indeed is X5 coupe, not X6.

X6 initial design was different - more individual.

But I guess cost cutting is a priority right now in BMW AG. The AutoBild's claim X6 would share 70% parts with X5 sounded kind a disappointing to me: meaning X6 would be only a coupe version of X5, not a new member of X-family.

Now I'm going to change my avatar to "X6 sucks!"

j/k

I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!

the headlights are REAL

the bumper and foglights are REAL

the grille is REAL

Lol, i don't want it here... On CS? Hmmm, that's completely different story...

On topic, i want the front to look like this:

I'd rather say that these guys are spot on, look better at this and then spy pic...

klier · 07-19-2007, 07:43 AM

Why are you guys so sure the headlights are fake on this car? What make you say that? I really don't know. Looks real to me, besides to obvious tape/cladding around it....

BTW, Tyc, that last pic you posted looks hot imo.

PanterroR · 07-19-2007, 07:44 AM

Look at the trim inside headlights, look at size of them...

I have a feeling BMW are pulling our left leg here.... i think were going to be surprised come reveal
