Would you buy your X6 again, if you had the benefit of hindsight?

Ha

I'm really not a fan of those anymor.

The cheap ones (and they can be bought cheap now) just fall in the wrong hands.

Easily the best car I've ever owned.  Great driving, great road presence, often referred too by my fiends as the 'Beast' or 'Tonker Toy'.  The boots anything but small and I've never had a car before to get so many unsolicited favourable comments from strangers.

Would I?  yes, if I still needed a 4x4 but at this time I can't see me even looking for a good few years I'm so taken by the X6.

Same can be said of Imprezas, GTRs, M3s, RS4s etc etc.  There comes a time when any successful model becomes accessible to scrotesville inhabitants.  Can't stop them unless you ceremoniously torch your car when done!

I have had mine for 2 months now and am due to do a write up, but I don't believe in getting two cars which are the same one after another.  Only exception possibly is going from a BMW car to the M power versions.  But here's a different view.  I would ahve bought the car with a different spec.  But when I get some time I will post the write up today/tomorrow.

Bit dull isn't it, where is the variety.

I'd get mine again, was planning on doing it again with the next X6 but I'm fancying a convertible next so that might be on the way out.  :-[

Possibly not. The X was an itch I had to scratch, but the ride is far harsher than expected in real life.... Saying that, it is a great car and I can do many 000s of motorway miles and not feel jaded at all.....

I would. well, I have.

Just replaced a 01/12 40d with a new 40d.

Few upgrades with different wheels, spoiler, rear window blades and better seats and toys inside.

One thing I do miss already is the DMS mapping. I may try the chap on here but DMS coming to your home makes it a really easy decision!

Just going through the pain of uploading music, also doesn't seem to have "messages" on the telephone list. One of my criteria was the dealer set my iphone up so I will want this rectified very quickly.
