If I wanted an insanely powerful SUV, I'd get a twin turbo V10 diesel Touareg. 550lb ft. of torque from 2000rpm = yes please! Nothing like being able to pull red wood trees out of the ground.
And these have 500lb ft at 1500rpm.

X6 cool? Its like any other queer crossover out there. and ugly as shit. I think its atrocious. Kinda like the X3. One SUV wasnt enough? People say the X3 was to accommodate other peoples sense of economy. Fuck that! thats why they released the X5 in different markets with different powerplants/displacement. Dont want a X5 4.8iS? get a fuckin 3.0i. Dont make a squirrely ass X3. As for putting 555HP Twin Turbo V8's in the engine bay... wtf? the X3 and X6 werent made to compliment or balance the X5 like we see in the 3,5, and 7 series. They're just more ploys BMW is bringing into the playbook to "keep up" with the competition. It seems instead of floating out the global economy with its true enthusiasts, its going to get balls deep in its own failing attempt to tread water. Just my humbly informed opinion.
I see a lot of hate on new BMWs though, I guess this is common because they can't please everyone(im certainly not pleased until they put out a 1-series M).

All I'm saying dude is that bird law in this country...it's not governed by reason.
I don't think either of them are really that terrible. They need to do an X3 M, then I'd buy one for my wife.
I do agree that they're trashing the ///M designation, but M hasn't stood for motorsport in a long time. We just have to hold on to our old rustbuckets, and always remember what a true M car is.

exactly. If I were in the market, I'd buy an x6 M over a cayenne or ML63 or any of the other uber-SUVs. It's too bad the M isn't what it used to be, but at least we have our old beauties :)
If BMW is "hurting for money", why don't they push harder and harder to get a cheap, reliable, economical, and extremely fun car to drive over here that has a 4-cylinder again?
Oh wait, they tried that with the 318ti, and it caught so much flak. Less than 10 years later, everyone wants one. Americans don't know what they want. They are morons.
This seems a bit ironic to me. BMW is trying something different, essentially the opposite of what they tried with the 318ti. People may hate it now, just like the ti, but in ten years, who knows [if these will still be on the road] what people will want?
I agree with pretty much all the bashers of the X6 and X5 Ms, it defiles the name of M and is a really shitty time to release ridiculously expensive SUVs. Besides that, what with the recent gas spike, who knows when that will happen again. Not a good time at all.
I don't see the functionality of the new ///MILFmobiles, but I'm sure they'll be plenty powerful and be right up there with the AMG offerings. The twin-turbo V8, which I guess is some twin-turbo variation of the N62, is defintiely a disappointment though. I can deal with BMW going into uncharted territory and trying tomething new, but they always seemed to have a naturally-aspirated solution to powering it before this point. I'm sure this won't be the end of their twin-turboed ///M models though, this will probably be another great, smooth motor and I'm sure it will make it's way into the next M5 and I'm sure the eventual M7 variant.

And your car is queer with the white paint job, white interior and (most likely) automatic transmission. Fuck off.
I for one think these SUV's are fucking awesome. I would love to have a car that can go virtually anywhere, has all the bells and whistles, safety features, looks good and is ridiculously fast on top of that. Slapping an M badge on these may not have been the best choice but I am not really a purist so I could give a fuck. The cars themselves are the shit.
