For me, X4 and X6 are muscular and beautiful. More beautiful than the X3 or X5.

Yep. I have an F86 and likely going to replace it with this new bodystyle. I find the F86 to be more engaging and fun than the F90.

True. That's my biggest gripe about this new bodystyle. I might have to go X5M next time unless I get something outside of BMW. Porsche hit the nail on the head with the looks of the Cayenne Coupe. It's the 35k price premium that I'm having a hard time justifying.

The $35k premium along with the very minimal design difference is tough to swallow - you might as well just stick with the Cayenne.

The Cayenne/Cayenne Coupe and Q7/Q8 don't do enough to differentiate each other like BMW and Mercedes does with the X5/X6 and GLE/GLE Coupe. Sure, you as the buyer will know but I would prefer to see where the actual premium is going towards rather than spending $35k just because I can.

Hmmmm yea it is. I think my GTS Coupe looks 100x better than the X6M. More cohesive. Love front of X6M my problem is the rear.

To each his own. That's why we have choices

I am on a BMW forum and have owned tons of BMW's including the previous 2 gens of X6. I own a 2021 Cayenne GTS Coupe which is same price as X6M. No doubt X6M is faster but I thought it handled much worse. The new X6M I love from the front is hideous from the back don't like how it drives, very fast which is fun but for me how a car feels - steering and dialed in not so much in the X6M IMO

X6M - I drive is best in biz

My GTS is also 400lbs ish lighter than the X6M which I for one felt the diff

But respect your opinion of course and am on a BMW forum so it's to be expected that most would prefer the X6

Nice. I understand that the X6M won't appeal to everyone, but that is the point. It's a niche product and BMW knows it. IMHO, I actually prefer the front of the X6 to X5. I prefer the X5 overall, but still, IF I wanted a coupe-like SUV, the X6M right now might be the best there is.

Overall, BMW has done an amazing job with its current SUV line-up. It is the best in the industry for all types of buyers. I grew up as kid admiring the brand and my first car bought was a 325i back in 1997 but got disappointed in the 2000s but now, it's WOW!

If there wasn't the X5M Comp, I'd consider the X6M Comp as the best hyper-performance SUV overall. JMHO.

I realize this isn’t exactly apples to apples but I went from a 135is to a Macan Turbo partially due to needing more size and was surprised how comparable they were in driving and handling. The Macan feels very small and nimble when driving it. Performance SUVs are not like other SUVs (e.g. Suburban). I now have a Cayenne Turbo Coupe and love that as well but had to adjust to the size despite it also driving somewhat small as well.

It seems a failure on BMWs end that people have a need to say this explicitly about vehicles that are designed to be less practical, yet more beautiful (and expensive). That in itself kind of proves the point that X4/6 a bit problematic.
And this coming from a guy who is currently in a 6 series.
X3/5 any time of the day for me for this generation. More practical, more beautiful AND less expensive. Every time i see that x4/6 rear end on the road, it makes me sad about where BMW is going with their design language. That rear-end belongs to some over-designed Japanese/Korean brand, not understated beauty of German cars.

So I have a 2018 x1, 20210 x5 and a 2020 M2C. Figure we smash the x5 and the M2C together and it be a fun driver 😂😂😂. The M2C is less comfortable on long trips. And the x5 is really comfortable but slow. So a x5M comp would be perfect
