GTS for me, but I actually think the X6 looks cool as hell!

It may be hurting the look, but i'm pretty sure BMW is more successful now than they have ever been.

And i rather like their design direction, at least they arn't been overly conventional ala Audi and to some extent Mercedes.

what we need is that fabulous twin turbo v8 in all of bmw's v8 trim offerings. a 650 would be much more enticing if it had that mill, coupled with a manual tranny you would have a poor man's m6.

At 6 foot even I was uncomfortable sitting in the back seat of the X6. My friend bought one to send over to Russia and the thing is very ugly and small inside. For one it is only a 4 seater so it doesn't even compare to the Cayenne.

You're comparing an SUV with a Sports Utility Coupe

The best quote I have read about the x6 is... "BMW answers the question that nobody asked"

What a worthless vehicle! What is the point?

Compare the x6 with the Porsche 911 because they both seat 4

I agree plus in our region the GTS is significantly cheaper than the X6 and Bangle really screwed up BMW design
