Is it the true "M" model? With the 500+ hp engine? Or, just the M trim package?

So, you want photos of it? Maybe the dealer can offer you a brochure?

The dealer has only the list of M parts in the kit, its cost and one pic...(with the car in white with black 20' wheels).

Really, you just bought a X6 and are coming to a Corvette forum to get pics? Really?

Try www.images.google.com

Also, go cancel your order and get the real M. Oh, and make it the X5M not X6M. The 6 is ugly and useless. At least the 5 sorta fits more ppl and stuff.

Yes, I come to the ''other cars'' area of the Corvetteforum....

Google...thanks for the link , It was completely unknown to me.

X6...to each his own, I like it a lot, but thanks for the advice anyway.

It just seems strange to buy a vehicle without a solid idea what it looks like. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, and I do know a lot of ppl that love the X6 look. I guess it's just not for me... but hey it's yours not mine! Depending on price difference and such though I'd really see if you can get the "real" M. That TT V8 is just mean.

I indeed have a solid idea of the car, when I bought my previous Bmw daily driver, that unfortunately I've destroyed in a crash about a month ago, I was going to choose the X6 but then I've choosen otherwise...

The M package kit for both gasoline X6's is just out for sale here and first cars are beeing built right now in USA, believe it or not the Bmw dealer had only a pic and a detail of the options of the kit (which actually looks plenty for ''only'' 6.500 Euros difference against the stock X6 50i), the X6M would be too expensive for my pockets.

Funny enough I can't find any other pics or videos anywhere.

Fair 'nough... enjoy! Oh, and FWIW I'd love to see some more pics of the car in your avatar.

TBH I do not like the looks of the X6.
Driving an X6 M for two days made me change my mind though...

I've seen several X6s...mainly in non-M trim but one in M trim. Either way it is one of the most beautiful cars on the road...they definately have street presence. They may not be the most practical vehicles out there but if I had a pile of loot lying around I'd own one in a heartbeat. Tell us what you think of it when you get some time behind the wheel.

I guess it's a Europe only option since the M-sport packages in the US are appearance only and pretty much offer zero performance upgrade. You guys get all the good stuff, the M-sport isn't even offered to us here, only the X6M.
