X6M

ebmwthusiast · 05-01-2011, 08:00 AM

I just placed an order for a 2012 X6M. June production. Obtained a discount of 7K off the MSRP. Do you think it's a good deal?

achien · 05-01-2011, 03:57 PM

Yes, it's a good deal. But I would also try a Porsche Cayenne S/Turbo first.

Porsche Cayenne FTW. We got our Cayenne S bout 2 weeks ago n love it. Only problem is if you order a Cayenne rite now in Calgary....u have to wait 8 months for delivery!!

That's retarded... your car is practically a whole year model behind by the time you get it... hope you got a great discount on it

yea its actually ridiculous how long the wait is now. We waited 3 months for our Cayenne which felt like forever. Can't imagine waiting 8 months for a 2012.

That being said the 3 month wait was definitely worth it. It doesn't have nearly the same power delivery as the 335 (i'm sure the turbo would be closer to that) but it is still an amazing SUV and a nice change from our 2 previous X5's

Thanks guys. I am sure Cayenne is an amazing car but I like the look of X6M better, which is totally personal.

BTW, I would like to tap your brain on winter tyres. The X6M comes with 20 inch wheels and tyre size of 275/20/40 front and 315/20/35 rear. Is it impossible to find winter tyres of that sizes? If I really want to stick to 20 inch wheels in winter (say same size for all four wheels), what size will be available?

Im not 100% sure but I would guess it'd be extremely hard and very expensive to find 20 inch winters. Your probably better off getting another set of smaller rims and getting winter tires for those but I'm sure it's not impossible to find a set. Best bet would be to call a few tire shops around u....they'd be able to give u a better answer

my neighbour has one. he downsized to 19's for winter

Guys, thank you for the inputs. I remember seeing somewhere in this forum that a winter tyre set of 20" with OEM wheel style Y-spoke 214 were installed on an X6 or X6M. Perhaps that's in Europe. Just thinking there is no reason why it won't be available in Canada. The BMW winter tyre package does provide 19".

You don't need winter tires, especially if you are in Vancouver. Just make sure you have all seasons on.

My brother ordered a Porsche Cayenne Turbo last year and he's still waiting for it! The waiting list is ridiculous.

achien · 05-22-2011, 06:31 PM

7-month waiting list here in Toronto. That means if you order it now, you may get it for Christmas.
