Hi Guys sorry not posted these sooner, they aren't great but when I get some time I will some proper ones.

You don't want this in your rear view.

I love BMW interiors.

Nice and shiny

I hope the wife doesnt kerb those wheels!!!

Well almost one week of ownership and it would be unfair to make any comments at the moment as I haven't even run her in.  However I can say that throttle response is impressive but at the moment the ride seems a bit too firm.  I am guessing this will settle after a few miles.  I cant wait for the run in period to elapse and get an oil change, then I will see what you can really do.  :))  Oh and the professional hi fi is amazing.

Very nice Peter, congratulations!!

Looking forward now to getting a few local X6s together! ;)

I'll keep a lookout for it on the school run!

Don't think the ride will soften that much, unfortunately.  But you will quickly get used to it.

Really like the interior - the seat piping looks the business.

I didn't like my X5 MSport when I first got it - the ride spoiled everything else.  Give it a couple of weeks and you will get used to it I am certain.

I put the Summer 19s back on at the weekend (garaging the Winter 18s).  Feels firmer and not as comfortable, but I know that I'll used to it again.

Hope it doesn't taint the ownership too much.....

Very nice Peter  8) that interior looks smart as well. I fear as others have stated that the ride won't improve, the downside of the wheel/tyre/weight/suspension set up. I'm sure you'll get used to it  ;)

When you posted about the interior colour, I wasn't too sure.  But that looks lovely.

Good choice that man :)

It's a trade off I am sure I will appreciate it more when I am going down some twisty A roads.

As above, exactly. You will be very pleased indeed with the handling prowess and sure footedness of such a big car.
