  Best Lux Crossover Out There - 2009 BMW X6
  By X6Owner - March 1 - 6:51 pm

  Just picked up my 2009 X6 35i and am loving it. Lots of people dont understand why this vehicle exists but it has everything I personally look for in an everyday driver. Ive got utility when I need it with plenty of cargo room for a weekend ski trip, no kids yet to worry about messing up my nappa leather, physics defying handling for an SUV that must be experienced to be believed, a peppy engine that begs to be put in sport mode and thrashed, BMW quality/service/maintenance, great sound system (cool seeing your ipod tunes integrated into the audio system), the latest technology and something you wont pull up next to 5 of at the local supermarket. I cant wait to drive again in the morn!

  In A Class By Itself - 2009 BMW X6
  By Mark - January 14 - 7:19 pm

  Of all the xDrive BMWs Ive owned or even driven, this one is a sublime blend of sure footed panther and raging bull. Fit and finish is above even BMW standards. It feels like its hand made on the inside and looks like it was left behind by advanced intelligence from another galaxy. Drove both engine sizes and went with the big one 5.0 V-8. The roar alone justified my decision. The slack-jaw looks it earns from the ignoratii are priceless. Forget about cargo space. This is not for soccer moms. This is for a single individual to get out and have fun quickly. Sport package is a must on this car. So is Technology package. Logic 7 premium sound is a hedge against any conversation. Get 1

  Early review at 1240 miles - 2009 BMW X6
  By Vincento - January 4 - 4:31 pm

  Bought this car 1240 miles ago. Best handling SUV that Ive driven to date. I am 6-2, and having to drive from DC to Richmond VA at least once a week for work makes sedans and other lower riding cars tiring on my legs/back. Thus, was looking for an SUV not for cargo space or off-roading, but for the ride and seat height. With sports package, it is a blast to drive, especially considering its height and weight. It corners better than my 06 TL, though some of it is due to the massive 20" 315 tires on the X6. Suspension is on the firmer side, but supple enough, once again especially for an SUV. Compared against MDX, FX50, FX35, X5, ML550, narrowed down to X5 vs. X6, and picked this.
