Default BMW X6 Spotted . . .


Posted on 18th January, 2007 by Warren M

Here’s a few photos of the forthcoming X6 Crossover from BMW. Those narrow headlights and large air intakes give the X6 a much more aggressive look than its X brothers. The rear section hides a sloping roofline, but BMW are too mean to show us.

So, is it trying to be like a seven-seater Cayenne?

This is very interesting because first it was the X5.
Then beemer's next step was to decrease the number to an X3 and made it smaller.
Now, the X6 is bigger than the preivous 2.

Why didn't they start out w/ the smaller number and worked their way up?

Instead, they came out w/ a number, decreased and back up again?
It's like they skipped a number in between the years and decided to make up for it to
fill the gap.

It's kind of weird. I don't think any other car company did that or I could be wrong.

I am sure it will drive great and look like something that will scare kids.

Is it just me or does it seem like the butts on BMW's SUV's look a lot like the current XC90?

That "spoiler" makes the car deserving of the "Veedub" guy
