Pricing is tough to swallow. They kind of follow M5 price guidelines.
when M3 goes up 10K from similar packaged M340. for 10 K you get 100Hp bump and tighter suspension.
M5 and x5 competition go up 30K for the same 100 HP bump and tighter suspension.
but with M3 and M5 you have a possibility to use those cars as dual purpose - track /street.
Not so with X5/x6.
Utility also suffers - no tow hitch on M cars - have to go aftermarket.
Weight is significant as well.
One can build well equipped x6 M50 for 95K
M X6 com with similar packages is 125K
30 K is a lot of money
lease will go up 1000 a month
so now people are paying 1000-1100 a month fro M50s
M cars are going to be 2100-2500 since residual s and incentives are going to suffer.
