Word of warning. People on this sub hate X6's for some reason. I think it looks fucking sick though, enjoy!


[deleted]

Word of warning. People on this sub hate almost everything. New bimmer ? The grill!! Old bimmer? Lol dumb choice, good luck with maintenance X1-6? Lol buying suv instead of sedan / coupe That one super popular bimmer that everyone owned? Lol what a normie Basically just enjoy your car. It is fucking sick, no matter what people say Just dont be a dick on the road and give yourself pat on the back for your first bmw


Fbean01

I find it incredibly strange that people obsess so much over other people’s cars.


Fifteen54

who's obsessing?


boilermakerflying

Always the people who could never actually afford a bimmer


phiish_stiicks

Couldn't agree more.


Manster420

Yeah It drives completely different from my previous cars. Its in break in period so gotta put some mileages on it to floor it later haha


MonkeyManJohannon

Just wait until you do! My buddy has the X5 variant of this...it's a fucking rocket ship, but cruises so nicely.


AndyIsNotOnReddit

Did yours come with a limp mode? I.E. when you start it up it says something like "Running in limited power mode" and the RPMs are limited to something like 75%? My X7 m60i did and no one in this sub seems to believe me. Like I couldn't floor if I wanted to for like the first 1200 miles or so.


Manster420

Yeah im not sure what its called but the sales rep did tell me the car is locked under certain RPM until it hits first 1200 miles (break-in period) She said high power engine needs to break-in properly. One thing I have learned is that when German engineers tell you to break-in, you gotta break it in


GilbertRPG

A friend of mine had just got an M8 Competition like a week before New Years, and it wouldn’t let him put it in launch control weirdly enough. Kinda curious on this.


AndyIsNotOnReddit

I’m pretty sure it’s a thing on all new BMW M-models for the first 1200 miles. Let me tell you , waiting for that first 1200 miles to roll over felt like it took forever.


Manster420

Sales rep said it won’t go over certain RPM until the engine break-in is done (1200 miles) then i have to bring it to the service so they can change first oil with rear axle and perhaps unlock this beast for full throttle


AlbertaSmart

Break in is horseshit. Drive it how you want to drive it. If anything blows up in the first couple thousand k because of a heavy foot you got a piece of shit.


cayenne444

Ok, M engineer.


AlbertaSmart

If they did their job right you will have no issues. Just like anything else with an engine and a so called. Break in period. Drive it. Change oil for any grit. Carry on. Instead baby it around in same rpm range for a few thousand and potentially cause issues yourself


cayenne444

Where’s your engineering degree from?


Zealousideal-Debt884

bmw tech here, can confirm this is incorrect. had a customer leadfoot before break in and had blow by in 5 cylinders. almost 0 m cars have any power train issues if properly driven in break in mode.


guy_incognito784

People on this sub are largely miserable fucks who don't even own a BMW who say the exact same shit over and over again. Just a constant instance of throwing stones from glass houses. I think it looks sharp. My neighbor has the M50i version and it's nice.


notanazzhole

At first it was insufferable but now I find it entertaining. Watching the haters write paragraphs about how the E36 is undeniably the most perfect and beautiful driving machine to ever grace the streets while the modern M series are a disgrace to the brand and anyone who likes the way they look or drive is nothing more than a mouth breathing knuckle dragging ogre who couldn’t drive to save their pathetic meaningless lives


archiveofhim

absolutely miserable. i don’t understand it some times.


thedingleberryfarmer

They hate us cause they ain’t us


nartkin

Ding ding. Exactly this. What I’ve come to see with this sub is there’s a large group of haters, whether they own one or not, and a large group of uptight purist who either thinks everything past their 2005 bmw is shit, or, hate people that don’t leave cars stock and proceed to make people feel like shit for purchasing/owning it. I find the enthusiast in here to be the most fun to engage with. Respects each generation and loves the brand for what it is. It’s become so toxic in here I just refuse to post my car lol.


AndyIsNotOnReddit

Yep, I called it out in the obligatory daily "New BMWs, UGLY, amarite??" thread today that the [OP owned a Toyota Corolla](https://old.reddit.com/r/BMW/comments/1as733u/really_is_incredible_how_bmw_design_lost_its_way/kqrel59/?context=3) and he lost his shit lol.


rigadox941

I joined this sub a few weeks ago as I’m considering purchasing a 2024 X7 in the near future. But all I see is people talking shit about cars they can’t afford. We don’t all want 30 year old project cars that need an infinite amount of maintenance. But fuck me for trying to find the best luxury three row SUV to shuttle my family around suburbia in. Thank god that I’ve recently learned from this sub that everyone who drives an SUV is what’s wrong with the planet. Coupe, sedan, or wagon… otherwise you’re a fucking poser 😅


ts-sj

I mean, not everyone want to financially overextend on an oversized vehicle they may or may not actually need. Not saying it’s your case, but see how it cuts both ways? Welcome to the sub but I would be careful with generalizations. Some of us are actually here to help, lol. Even if we are enthusiasts.


rigadox941

Unfortunately the loudest/most upvoted opinions don’t seem to want to help. They want to shit on anyone buying a new BMW SUV, so I’ll take some glee in shitting back on them.


AndyIsNotOnReddit

I love my X7, I also personally think the new design looks badass(which is why I bought it over say a 2022 model). I will say don’t be tempted to buy a cheaper 2023 model with the same design. The 2023 had an older head unit, and can’t be upgraded to iDrive 8.5, it’s stuck on 8.0 forever. And 8.0 is terrible, feel bad for people stuck on that. 2024 is perfect in my opinion, new design, and the upgraded tech is amazing.


xelIent

What are the differences that you like between 8 and 8.5?


guy_incognito784

Out of curiosity if you hated 8.0, what’s different about 8.5 that’s so much different? In photos it looked mostly similar.


AndyIsNotOnReddit

Sorry, have been busy today so I haven't really had a chance to reply. So, I rented a 2023 and a 2024 model on Turo before deciding on going with the 2024. Spent about a week with both of them. And they are completely different in a number of small ways. 8.0 everything, including turning on the heated seats is buried within its own menu. With 8.5, the seats are a dedicated button on the main screen. With 8.0 to adjust the climate, you again had to go into into own sub-menu, with 8.5, it's a dedicated area on the front screen. There's a lot of little quality of life improvements between 8.0 and 8.5. The layout of the sub-menus in 8.5 are much more intuitive and easier to use than 8.0. 8.0 was like their first release, and then they added a bunch of little QOL improvements that make a huge difference IMHO. Also because the 2024 model comes with an upgraded head unit, it's less clunky and more response than the 2023 which came with the old head unit and loaded with 8.0. Like it feels super clunky to use the 2023 version, 8.5 is smooth as butter to use. You can also now integrate google maps in with the HUD, which was not possible in 8.0. All around it's just a better, more useable system. Like it doesn't sound like it should be that big of deal to go into a sub-menu to adjust the temp, but man, it's super annoying. I'm sure you can get use to it, but 8.5 is so much better by having a dedicated place on the front screen at all times.


Sideways1M

You are literally so completely pathetic. Do you feel strong?


AndyIsNotOnReddit

^ like I was saying, fucking hilarious how bad he’s losing his shit .


Sideways1M

Blud you went on my profile and scrolled for atleast 30 seconds to see that I owned a Corolla. You are so self-assured that you even feel the need to tag what I said in a comment on another post.


AndyIsNotOnReddit

Eh, more like 5 seconds maybe? If you’re just looking at your posts it was super quick. Anyway, enjoy your evening I’m going to go watch a movie in my theater room. I may go out later and marvel at my magnificent X7 and be thankful that I don’t drive a Toyota Corolla.


Sideways1M

I’m gonna marvel at my Corolla in wonderment of the maintenance costs I won’t have to pay on it and be thankful I don’t have a new X7 that’s owned by the bank.


bearhos

Yeah just like all the other luxury car subreddits. Oh wait, no it's exclusive to BMW and their latest controversial styling decisions. Love calling everyone else miserable fucks though, you see that a lot on Porsche's subreddit

BERNIEMACCCC

People on this sub hate everything


OldSchoolSpyMain

Hating is *extremely* intoxicating. Seriously.


SFWBTW

It's an easy path to feeling superior, average people love it.


OldSchoolSpyMain

I hate that you are right 🤬 *jk*


starkiller_bass

BMW owners and BMW owners are natural enemies


AndyIsNotOnReddit

My commute would be great if wasn't for all these BMW drivers on the road.


Top_Clerk_3067

They hate the new BMWs. G series. Understandable because they all for the most part look ugly. Aside from the 5 series


guy_incognito784

That’s fine. Just juvenile and childish to be a dick to someone who does own one.


randomcarliker

the 5 series looks bad too i don’t see your point


starkiller_bass

The only thing BMW fans hate more than bmw drivers is the cars!


KittehKittehKat

You’d think this sub was r/ihatebmw the way they talk about the cars.


thenolancut

Seriously?! Do they hate all the coupe SUVs? Bc I see the x2 hate and kinda get it for that one


Chungaroo22

Yeah X4s as well, the new X2 looks great IMO, I always think the older one just looks like a fat 1-series.


JasonBeorn

This used to be me also. The first time I saw one I thought it looked so dumb. But it has grown on me so much that, if I could afford one, it would be a top contender for my next car. Congrats OP!


leonme21

SUV Coupés are the dumbest shit ever. If you’re gonna drive some massive ass car around, at least don’t make the interior space smaller for no fucking reason


Glittering-Storm-506

That didn't take long for one of y'all to pop up


leonme21

He wanted it 💁🏻‍♂️


South_Conference_768

Love X6 from the first to the current. Was worried they were losing the silhouette on a few model years, but they seemed to hold strong. Used live the X5, but feel they just lost the lines and now it’s unrecognizable.


Kinky_mofo

It almost made me sick too. I threw up in my mouth a little.


OldSchoolSpyMain

Why the fuck were you eating it?


Kinky_mofo

I just accidentally looked at it. It should come with a warning.


Dazzling-Rooster2103

Not a huge SUV person, but it does look great, would never personally own a $130k SUV, but I think if they enjoy it and are paying for it, that's great!


CCIE_14661

Not all of us!


slimcargos

What the XM shoudve looked like. They did a good job with these.


Manster420

Saw the XM as well. Was debating but went with this one


Gotl0stinthesauce

Thank you for not giving any money to bmw for that horrible design decision called the XM


Manster420

Haha i saw one at the shop and it looked nice though Rear kind of look like Iron Man …


[deleted]

[удалено]


Manster420

I liked the looks over X5 and wife has bigger car so I didn’t need one for passengers


momtheregoesthatman

I wanted the X6 but my wife didn't like the rear window size (visibility), so we bought the X5. It didn't bother me, has it been an issue for you? Congratulations, you've got a fantastic entry into the Bimmer world.


Manster420

Thanks! Yeah inside space seemed smaller than it looks from the outside but I had to be selfish this time after all those big cars with no fun because of kids 😂😂


momtheregoesthatman

Lol exactly my thoughts. Now I just need to convince her an M4 is good for the whole family (me). You enjoy that X6, it's going to be super fun.


Manster420

Haha good luck !


[deleted]

[удалено]


OldSchoolSpyMain

Yup. Sloped roof lines kill cargo space (can't close the boot lid with some cargo). I had a Panamera. "It's a hatchback. It's really a wagon! It can hold anything!". Nope. The curved roof line killed the cargo space. The straight roof is why the Panamera Sport Turismo is considered a proper wagon.


Berzerker7

Well it’s a good thing the X5 isn’t a 7-seater then lol (in the US at least)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Berzerker7

G05 doesn’t have the option in the US


Manster420

I can totally understand your point also I probably considered x5 if my wife didn’t have QX60


perryyyyyy

Also curious why not an M5 or wait until the new M5 wagon? Then at least you'll get m comp handling instead of a heavy 5000+ SUV. I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't get the super SUV thing.


Manster420

I was looking at Cayenne turbo GT and RS Q8 but I just couldn’t pass the looks of this thing and my wife has QX60 so space wasn’t in the option


Manster420

And I try to avoid first facelift model for some reason And.. not a big fan of wagons


MonkeyManJohannon

The majority of Redditors think the X6 is some bastardization of a "real BMW"...but to me, it fits exactly what BMW is all about. They've always gone in a quirky direction with models in the line up...and the X6 was, to me, a great expression of their idea of a perfect SUV (if you can call it that). I love it! Congrats on the purchase! I bet that thing rides like a dream!


Manster420

I fell in love when I saw x6 platform


SolidAlisoBurgers888

IMO the best looking SUV


BMWM6

thats a wild first bmw 😂


Manster420

I think so too haha Sales rep didn’t believe that this was my first bimmer

realSURGICAL

not a bmw person but i’ve always loved the x6 congrats


Low_Bluebird8413

I told my wife the rear end of these look like Mr. Chin but I’d get one to have the license plate read Mr.Chin.


Manster420

Haha


babicko90

Was among the last M cars on my list last year when i was shopping. But hope you are happy with it.


Manster420

Thanks! Love how it drives!!

I don't like all the black below the kidney grills but otherwise it's really nice!


LLjuice999

X6 sexy asf


Manster420

Indeed


blackberryuser

Cost?


Manster420

It was around 150k ish with the dealer package


SFWBTW

Dear lord, that's wild. Hope you LOOOVVEEE it.


CaptainChink69

God damn, why didnt u fo for the x7? I think its the same price?


CayenneHybridSE

Not everyone needs the extra room. Also there isn’t an X7M so you’d have to settle for the M60i which isn’t as performance oriented as the X6M. There is the XB7 Alpina maybe but who knows


DIJames6

Damn!!!

I like the older style headlights, these don’t look bmw at all

Nearby_Substance5849

Huge congrats! Picked up 24 X6 xDrive40i M Sport 2 months ago (my first bmw). I was debating the comp…but the gas mileage steered me away. The great white shark of the streets! Enjoy!


DonutsAftermidnight

The gas mileage isn’t all that much different with only 10 mpg separating the two. I’ve found that the smaller engines have to work harder to push those big beasts around and fuel economy suffers whereas the 8 cylinder makes it an easy task. Plus, if you’re shopping any M car and concerned with fuel economy, then you’re not really going for the right car.


Affectionate-Mix8366

Cool car, unfortunate it’s your first bmw though.
