Black/Silverstone would be the best DD, bar none. I'd get a RRSC for the wifey, though.
Mine's happy with her FX35 and M3 convertible.

Ehh, I'm not so sure, Dana. A guy I lived with last year replaced his X6 with one - it's an improvement, but not in the aesthetic sense. The X5 has more or less similar performance, more "utility", and looks better.

I still don't get the X6, and I definitely don't get the X6M. What is it? The X5M is cool but the X6 is still a mystery to me.

based on looks alone, i find the older generation 4.8is so much meaner looking. the x5m looks x3ish from the front.


performance wise i realize its no contest, i just wished it had the looks to back it up

Its a sports activity coupé.

Yeah, that's what I thought.... wait what's a sports activity coupe again, and why do I want to sink $90K+ into one to make it go faster?

Dr T, FX and M3 are a nice combo. I had an FX35 a few years ago, it was a great truck as well. Not fast, but it had nice technology and drove very well.

Good luck with your choice! Any color preference?

Likely go with Silverstone. It'll be a daily driver and trying to keep a dark finish looking good drives me crazy!
