@The Lee

I didnt mean huge tuner sized wheels, just something like the M5/6.
The wheels are very close to the arch and it gives a great and agressive presance to the car. More of an “M” look. Although i do agree with your point, i didnt think my comment through. I was looking from a more appealing veiw rather then a performance veiw. My dad has 20inch individual wheels on his 7 and it is much more difficult to drive with then the standerd 18inch wheels when compared. I guess the wheels will have to remain small in order for M handeling.

Uh oh that colour makes it look very desirable indeed. I want, I want.

I think that the X6 M will outperform the X5 M by about the same margin that the M6 outperforms the M5 i.e. Not Much :) , because BMW definitely do not want people to be discouraged to buy the X5 M

Still wondering what BMW wants to achieve with all the XMs. Just took delivery of my x6 in december and am wondering what a bad boy the x6M will b. The 50i throws u back with a little extra push at the pedal and whats the point in more power for an already powerful ride.

I’m assuming they are both going to get the same engine with the same specs. By how much will the X6M outperform the X5M?

p.s.This question is from another forum,and i find it very interesting.

@Josh B:

Those wheels are plenty big enough. M vehicles are supposed to perform well, not look “blinged” out with 26″ wheels.

If you put overly massive wheels on it, you’re stuck with rubber band tires. You don’t want rubber band tires on a BMW; trust me on that.

Looks good. the wheels are far to small though. Needs big in your face “m” style wheels. not some crapy chrome ones but big sports ones.

That looks like Estoril to me. It’s a great color. Hopefully they’ll have a corresponding two-tone Estoril/Black interior.

Well – that’s Le Mans Blue or Estoril Blue – both M colors so this thing is probably going to be a full-on M vehicle.

The X6 doesn’t look all that bad. I think the wheels need some changing though.
