I agree with Horatiu, nice exhaust roar however I think I like the gasoline engine sound more than the diesel. RE: How really was it when pushing it? I mean, pushing it 70-110 mph for example? Although the 70 to 110 mpg acceleration was rather moderately fast in my opinion it did feel quicker given the weight of the car, I'm sure it accelerates from 70 to 110 faster that 3ers with smaller diesel engines.

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:26:04 +0000 http://www.bmwblog.com/?p=21704#comment-156982 Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Even though I drove the car less than Alex, let me share my opinion(maybe Alex will share his thoughts also): The sound engine was great, loved that diesel roar and honestly, not as loud as many would think. While I believe the engine in the 35d is even more spectacular, this one has not disappointed us. Sure, a 50i would have been great, more power, faster, but we never felt that we really needed a bigger powerplant. Honestly, that engine will do just fine in the U.S. where the top speed is anyway far more limited. We pushed it pretty hard and one thing we noticed was the turbo lag being a bit more obvious than in the other turbo engines we tested, but once it kicks in, it just goes. The exhaust note is one of the cool things on these X6s, regardless of the model. I would buy the 30d before the 35i due to the lower fuel consumption. Oh and yes, we make the commenting system easy, we never give away email addresses nor really request for a valid one. Some people prefer to leave the real one since we do get in touch with our readers from time to time, trying to maintain a close relationship. Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

Why? An X6 deserves a great sporty powerful engine, not that entry level one. USA has beautiful engine options when it comes to the X6. Horatiu, congrats to you for this site. I really like it. And until now I finally use the commenting option, go figure. Didnt know was that easy, thought I had to register. Let me ask you this: did u loved the sound of the engine? the exhaust note? How really was it when pushing it? I mean, pushing it 70-110 mph for example? Do u like it that much that u would prefer this one over the 35i or 50i?

There is no crazy lane changing like here in the U.S.. So for us going that fast, it seemed a bit crazy No, not at all, I guess it crazy for us going at 130-140 miles an hour, on the left lane and passing the other cars.
