Re: Spied: BMW X6 M
I really don't see any advantage to get this over a 3 or 5 series wagon (assuming bmw would just sell them here). Also, it seems like everybody praises bmw for making small and efficient engines, but I really don't get it, especially when the M3's v8 gets the same mileage as a more powerful GT500 Mustang (14/20) and worse than a comparably peak powered Camaro SS. And their engines themselves are no lighter than an LS3 or whatnot.

Re: Spied: BMW X6 M
Saw one of these the other day... didn't even really know what it was at first. Looks better than pictures... there rear end IS kind of Aztek-weird, but overlal it looks pretty decent (and I'm not a BMW fan).
People love paying lots of money for BMWs with powerful engines... I don't think that fuel economy factors in for most BMW customers... so now they hjave one more way to spend their money on a propellor badge. I'd say BMW made a good move releasing this thing.
