X6M

Post by Sustanon250 » Sat Mar 07, 2015 8:00 am

Just traded in my amazing 2011 E70 X5 40d for a 2014 X6M - test drove it Tuesday , fell head over heels in love and was on my drive by Thursday !!!

Absolutely amazing to drive , only downsides are horrific fuel economy (have had 9.6 mpg around town) and rediculous road tax (£500)

Hi

Very cool not many of them about and I'm sure with effort you could get the fuel consumption lower  :thumbsup:

I'm sure you will enjoy it and from your past cars you like them with a lot of power.  Same as an X5M which has the same twin turbo engine.

If you have alook on YouTube there is a video of an X5M out dragging an M3 V8 coupe just so funny you don't expect a big car to go that well.

I managed about 6 mpg at one point when I took out my brother in laws Bentley the 12 cyclinder one out  :( but the best bit was I gave it back.

So are we saying your next purchase is either a petrol station or a petrol tanker to follow you around  :))
Now: E70 X5 in Blue, 3 Minis Cooper S R53, JCW R56 & Cooper S Roadster R59 :drive:

I wish there was a drool emoji!

If you've still got that 69ER number plate you should stick it on that - what a beast.

Many thanks guys and gals for your kind words  :o

The 9.6mpg was actually driving like a granny , should easily get it in the 5's with some effort!

Already been messaging DTUK regarding their plug and play tuning box that raises power to 660+

Car was pre-registered to BMW which I guess enabled them to discount the car from £90k ish to £56k  :))

Had a bit of a race with my mate in his E39 m5 (superb cars) which he has owned since new !!!!!

Needles to say , the X6 was quicker .....

BTW Ice Queen I'm keeping my 69ER plate now but it stays on the 911turbo, I have another plate for this "B1CEP"

B1CEP certainly seems fitting for you if that is your pic  :))
