I did not know that it was manufactured @ the Spartanburg, South Carolina plant.... Would you have quality concerns?

3.0 Twin turbo, V6... 306hp.....is the small one...

I also looked at the X6. I would be concern with the quality of build at the Spartansburg plant. IMO

I don't dig the looks.

I don't know quality concerns, but it was love and first sight for me. I'd assume I'm in the minority though.

My GF loves it.

I think all the Zs are made there also. Used to own one with no issues- Buy American.

Mercedes makes ML's and GL's in Alabama I believe, and the GL doesn't seem to be built worse than any other Mercedes IMO

Sorry...not a big fan of the X6 styling... I think it was a terrible time for BMW to come out with it....relatively high price, bad gas mileage and not much room. I am sure they didn't project current conditions.

^ agree with everything he said

+1 - not a good looking car at all. bmw is stretching to open up a new market!

My wife drives an X6, and loves it. It is much more fun to drive than the X5, and certainly than the non-AMG ML or GL MB's. We have the 3.0 turbo i-6 version, with the sport package and with the variable assist steering. I think this suspension and steering package is key, as it gives it a much quicker steering feel than the two X5's we have had. It handles very well, surprisingly for a vehicle of this size. The space in the cargo area is very useful and pretty large. The seating is very comfortable, but only for 4. If that works for you, it is great, if not, you should not consider this vehicle. The build quality is excellent. It is better than either of our X5's, and the materials in the interior are much better as well. I love this vehicle, much to my surprise. I think it is an excellent introduction by BMW.

but that thing is just hideous looking to me.

It may very well be a great car/crossover, I saw one the other day.

Pontiac Aztec owners now have a BMW to upgrade to.

The X6 is so ugly in the flesh I wont cross the street to p*ss on it if it was on fire.

If you look closely the rear styling looks like a prius and the front is basically an X5.

Ermmm I would rather get the cayenne GTS if you want fun thats FUN. I dont know anything about ML never owned 1. My family has a GL550 I currently drive that.

I have yet to still find a car for myself. Don't know what to get.

BMW must have let Homer Simpson design it or a few toddlers because it has to be the worst looking vehicle since the AMC Pacer. Your money but I'm sure you can find plenty of other vehicles that look better.

Interesting series of comments on the appearance of the X6 here. My personal experience as an owner is that almost every time I stop our Space Grey X6 in a parking lot, traffic light, etc, I get asked by a passerby what it is. I have had people cross the street here in Washington, DC to come look it over, and give me the thumbs up. Sorry, but the general impression of people on the street is much different than the "cognoscenti" here. It's a nice looking machine in the flesh, and it rocks to drive, even with the 3.0L six. Just sayin'.

People also stare at the unfortunate........

Looking over the machinery that I have a chance to drive/ride, that would NOT be me:

E63
SL550
X6
BMW K1200GT

Thanks,

Tell us how you really feel.

It is one ugly car. Sorry.

LETO

It makes the cayenne look beautiful!

prodigymb

i like the X6 interior and exterior alot. not to mention the 3.0 twin turbo motor is sweet, and will be even better when software upgrades will start coming out for it.

Me too.....

The X6 actually looks amazing in person, especially in black and with the V8 twin-turbo engine its performance will be nothing short of amazing.
