2021 X6 M Competition | Delivered | Dravit on Adelaide

I took delivery tonight right before the dealership closed, so I haven't really done much more than saved some settings, but I'm head-over-heels already. Here are a few snaps, since some asked about the color combo. I had them tint the front windows (35%) and install carbon-fiber mirrors pre-delivery. I also have an appointment for paint protection film and powdercoating the wheels in gloss black coming up in May.

Nice pics!! Where did you get the carbon mirrors from and cost? Did the dealer install them? How about a closeup pic of them?

Loving the color especially against the wooded background. Update us on how you like it, my wife is trying to decide between this and Cayenne Hybrid. Have fun!

I'll have to grab a pic later (I'm actually in another car today), but they're the standard OEM mirrors from BMW. Yes, I had the dealer install them.

I've put CF mirrors on most of the cars I've had in recent years and for whatever reason, these were a LOT more expensive than any I remember previously. I paid just under $2000 for the pair, installed. I probably should have asked the price before I ordered them. Ha.

I've not driven the current gen Cayenne. I do also have a 2020 X6 M50i for another few months, so it's an interesting side-by-side comparison. I initially was going to get another M50i, but BMW de-contented the X6 for 2021, so you can no longer get things like soft-close doors, the heated/cooled cupholders, or full merino leather unless you step up to the "true" ///M. Not that I needed a lot of encouragement, to be fair.

I did drive the X5 45e recently, because I was considering that as my daily. I was hoping to use it in "EV only" mode for my commute (20 miles), but I thought the vehicle was hugely underwhelming in EV-only mode. Left in hybrid mode, though, I thought it was great and would make sense over the 40i. I'm not sure how the Cayenne works in terms of EV-only range or driving feel.

Yeah, that was the plan. I wasn't supposed to get the ///M until May, so I had the install scheduled accordingly. Production got pulled ahead, though, even with Individual options for both my exterior paint and interior leather, so I ended up with the car a month early. Unfortunately, I couldn't move the PPF install date up because they're booked solid.

For the record, the pics I took last night really don't show off the beauty of Dravit Grey. I had it on my (now retired) '19 M850i Coupe and it instantly became my favorite BMW paint color. It's simply gorgeous and varies greatly depending on the lighting conditions, time of day, etc. I would seriously Dravit-All-The-Things going forward, if I could. It's that gorgeous.

The Adelaide interior was a risk, because I ordered it a bit sight unseen, at least on the X5M or X6M. A buddy has Adelaide in his X3M Comp, but it has orangey-red accents, not the black honeycomb patterned leather inserts. I really do like it, though, and think it's a great complement to the Dravit... and it's perfect with the carbon fiber details. I almost took the safe route and got all black interior, but I'm glad I didn't.

Looks fantastic. I wish my wife was down with the non-metallic colors.

Dravit is definitely metallic. There's a gold/bronze fleck to it in some light. Other times, it does have a non-metallic look. It's a very interesting color.
