Great commentary, I’ve have always liked the X6, they are different, the coupe design to me makes it stand out and I too believe they are quite timeless too, the fewer facelifts and tweaks make a huge difference to how old the vehicle looks compared to how old it is.

Stuff the haters, it's a great looking car. The X5 is a bus in comparison.

I had several cars with this combination from two 530d and an x5 and I probably did more than half a million km with them and had no problems. The problems started recently with the E6 and the particle filters and I am aware of the problem with the old chains and I did changed one at my fisrt 530d but the mechanics are experts in changing them now...it doesn't cost much , it was around 1000€.

Brilliant video as always Matt but i would get the same Gen X5, split fold tailgate and has more presence for me :D

A private cab-service that I use is run by one man and his wife, with a couple of employees. They use luxury SUVs as their cabs. He usually drives a black BMW X6. One day, he picked me up and my elderly mother for a shopping trip to a specialty store. Try as he might, he couldn't get mom's folding laundry/shopping cart into the back of the X6. Just wouldn't fit. We settled on having it in the backseat. As impractical as a G-Wagon is, at least it'll easily accommodate a folded up cart.

I have a 2010 E71 X6 4.4 V8 twin turbo N63 engine, the engine uses alot of oil and I have to out a bottle in every month. I’ve mentioned this before, but the car was alpine white from factory, but as a tribute for my love of the P38 Range rover 30th Anniversary I had the car professionally re-sprayed in Wimbledon Green Pearl paint, it looks stunning and really makes an entrance, I have the tan leather interior, and installed the new style touch screen which looks factory, not like some cheap aftermarket system that looks out of place. In terms of maintenance I’ve had to change the rear suspension airbags, the anti roll bar and drag links, the suspension bushings, the 4X4 auxiliary shaft, the AC belt, water pump and a few other bits, but at 285,000 kms she is still running great, if you don’t mind putting the oil in it.

I had an X6 rental in the USA recently for a couple of weeks. In my journal, I referred to it as the Ugly Duckling. The rear visibility was ludicrous - and the cabin, although a nice place to spend time - was not easy to get in - still having to watch bumping my head on entry or exit. It was a major upgrade from the rental company (who had screwed up my booking), so it never felt too bad - but I'd NEVER buy one.

Saying that BMW hasn't produced a decent looking car in decades but preferring an Audi is a bit of an oxymoron.

I don’t really understand the obsession with comparing the X5 & X6. Yes, they share the same platform and engines and the X5 is cheaper with more practicality but that is the same template across every car manufacturer’s line up, more for less of the same. I had a 2011 40D model (mine had 5 seats and a sunroof), I am 6’1 and could sit comfortably in the back and there was loads of boots space which included an ‘under tray’ part that can hold two 10kg suitcases. I find most criticisms of the X6 always centres around cliche waffle as opposed to looking at the car in own individual entity.

I was wrong, dont set it on fire. It's pretty cool.
