EWN in the Fast Lane: BMW X6 - Will it get your pulse racing? - Eyewitness News
JOHANNESBURG - When BMW introduced us to the X6 model back in 2008, when the Sports Activity Coupé shape was still awkward, like many others we were sceptical. You are buying a car with ground clearance, bigger wheels and lots of cabin space with all the styling and design from its coupé siblings. It doubles up as a performance vehicle with some off-road tendencies and it’s the number one car to indicate that you have arrived in a sort of budding tenderpreneur kind of way. Fast forward some years later and the X6 is back and it’s definitely going nowhere, if one simply looks at its strong global sales figures. So with its perfect specs and such a warm looking personae it’s definitely a car worth buying right. For me it actually isn’t… The car weighs around 2360kg so it doesn’t do very well in the “slick” category, and no, it can’t even hug the bends at high speed without making you feel a little sea sick --- but it turns out there is method to BMW’s... So when in sport mode the X6 offers a much firmer drive with a responsive steering wheel that cancels out the boat feeling almost completely. Source: ewn.co.za
