PS.. the more I look at the pics, the more I like the car.. and I already like it a lot.

wait I thought punching the car in 6th was the only way to tap into the flux capacitor and reach top speeds past light speed all the way to ludicrous speed?  no?


and then I thought that putting your hand on wheel at the 12 position while leaning way to the right was the best way to navigate turns?

damn I have been doing this all wrong....



really, really nice car.  I love seeing them drive by here.  Love the extra carbon...all factory stuff?  damn nice.  would pick different wheels but that is a very minor thing on this beaut...

nice review, glad you're loving it.  It looks like a great car

Ammusing review
I wonder what your friend drives
Down-shifting to 5th, haha
I drop to 3dr if i'm below 80mph
Anything below 50mph i sometimes go for 2nd if i really need to get going/pass

now THAT was amusing

You mean that 5 series thing?  (I think they called it a granturismo which doesn't make too much sense given that's italian and I'm not sure how or why a hatchback 5series qualifies as a GT)  It's pretty uh interesting looking (I'm not a huge fan but reserve judgement till I see one).  I'd have to see one in person.  I actually wrote about my buddies 335i a while backs.  Loved the car, excellent transmission.  Turbos were great I recall as well.  Liked the steering, hated the stereo hated the electronics, chasis was very nice and the road grip feel was very nice.  People are really down on the x6 design but I think I disagree.  I think it's a good looking car. To each his own I guess.

You could do what I did, get one for each purpose.  Highlander my wife drives with kids, 3 rows blah blah, M6 I drive and pass off when I take the kids.

Heh heh, you could go nuts and get the M version of the X6.  That thing is outrageous.  As a set aside, (and yet another rant from me) what is with people that are slaves to Dyno charts.  Having owned quite a few exotics, do people realize that unless you are on a track or seriously modifying your car to do the 1/4 mile or something then all these dyno curves mean next to nothing.  I mean, truly, there is very little difference getting to 60 on the on ramp between say the M3 or M6 or the 335i for that matter.  Also, the F430 or the Gallardo or the A8V10 or the ZR1.  My brother is like "Yeah but doesn't the LP-560 get to sixty faster and have 10 more HP with the same engine?".  Uh yeah. . . if you are a professional driver redlining the thing and firing off from the pits into the first straightaway.  Other than that, it's all about feel of the car, design, steering, comfort.  Now Oz and Ohm with the 1/4 mile times?  Now THEN I understand checking those stats and working on the engine to get it to go faster.  For guys taking the occasional drive and very occasionally hitting the track?  Get the best car for your taste and for goodness sake, learn to drive it!
