Newbie from up North

Post by Zafrod » Thu Feb 05, 2015 5:30 pm

Evening everybody,

Just bought a 62 plate X6 40d with lots of toys its my first BMW as I've previously had only Audi's. I chopped in my Q7 for the X6 so I do hope its as good as they say it is looking forward to picking it up on the 20th.

Zaf :'(

Evening Zaf, enjoy your X6. I too had a Q7 and I find my X6 a much better drive. Great to be a bit different too, as you don't see many on the roads, at least not where I live anyway!
X5Sport forum member on here also has an X6 and you will find he is very knowledgeable, although his X6 is pink  :))
Pics would be great if you've got a minute.

Quit whining.....you shouldn't have bought an Audi should you! :P

And to the OP:  :hi: from another X6 owner. :)

Hi and welcome.  You've found a great site with info, banter and advice.  I had an X6 40D and loved it.

Or maybe I've just seen the (northern) lights.  Had Tesla been set up in NI I would have been looking at their S Model, anyone for a 0-60 of 3.2 seconds?
