Anyone having problems with Transmission, All wheel drive, and Stability systems? I’ve had my X5 M for less than 3 weeks and those systems are all randomly failing while driving! It’s happened 6 times now and it goes into reduced power mode and locks in 3rd gear so you can pull over. Restarting the engine clears the errors and it goes back to normal.

I took it in for service and it spit out pages of error codes but they can’t find the source of the problem.

Just curious if anyone else is having similar issues.

I’m so jealous! I have the 2009 X6, Live in Los Angeles and have only seen 2 others here. I love this car/ truck… I understand some love it/ some hate it, but how could you hate it? Its stunning, sproty, mean and lean! what’s not to love. I am in a three year lease so hopefully the X6M will be my next BMW!

Dear Frederik,

If you buy a car with an initial price of EUR90000, the consumption should not be a question.

This may sound silly, but when living in Europe, it’s pretty important: what’s the consumption?

And does it always guzzle gas, even when you’re driving calmly?

I really like the X6M, but I don’t feel like getting gas every other day.

Does anyone have an idea when it will become available in Europe? You can configure it on the UK BMW site, but that’s about it.

I’d love to experience for myself what the new turbo engines that BMW has come out with are actually like. i’ve heard great things about them and i know from experience the 335i is a great engine. I’ve not been a big fan of turbo at all, but lately i’ve been starting to actually read about it and get to know it and it just seems like they can be great engines. I think once the bias has worn off that turbo engines have lots of lag and aren’t really good for performance driving, and ppl get an education about the history of turbo engines and their background in racing, there will be broader acceptance. us North American’s love our big engines and I do as well, but having a light, efficient, and powerful turbo engine combined with a light chassis and car will give fantastic acceleration as well as handling. weight is the biggest enemy of performance. and like ppl say that there is no replacement for displacement…. there is no compensation for weight!
