X5M VS X6M?

oryshi · 08-31-2015, 02:12 AM

When I picked up my X5M I also considered the X6M, looked at them side by side and felt the X5M looked like a better design. Now the X6M is starting to grow on me.... Anyone else out there feels like they should have maybe gone with the X6M or are you happy with your decision?

When I purchased mine , X5M and X6M was next to each other.

I don't regret my choice a second ;-)

I preferred the previous version of the X6 , the E71 , it looked more nasty than the F86 (in my opinion) !

That is exactly how I felt when i placed them side by side. Lately though the X6M has been growing on me and I think it looks stylish, but I totally agree that the previous gen looked 'meaner' somehow.

I agree the E71 is better than current F86. The F86 is bland in comparison.

Happy to find other guys that think like me !

I like the F85 but for some reason the F86 just looks more aggressive. Can't go wrong either way!!

I must be one of the few rare ones who instantly fell in love with the looks of the F86. If it just had a bit more cargo space, but then I understand it's a coupe/SAV.

Question: Why is the X6M slightly pricier than the X5M? Does it have to do with the more compact design of the body? Someone please enlighten me!

For no apparent reason...

Several were listed at dealer in mid 90's few weeks ago. considering you can get 9-10k off a new '15 X5m and the car is 1 model year. You have to realize dealer has to make money off the car and any buyer will want a significant discount since the car is "used"

kanvas · 09-05-2015, 06:52 PM

Thinking of pulling the trigger on an X5/6M next year..

tastelid · 10-05-2015, 03:02 AM

We started with the 6 but couldn't get over it being less functional than the 5. That backseat is a bit cramped...

Both cars look good imo!

I wanted to trade my X5M, dealers offered me $90k. Screw that, not worth it. I'm keeping the X5M for 2yrs.

I've never been a fan of the X6, but I like the newer ones vs the old ones. If I wanted an SUV, I want a car that looks and function like a proper SUV (cargo room). If I wanted a coupe shaped sedan, I would get a 6 series GC which I also have. The X6 is like a Porsche Panamera, some will love it and many will hate it.

But one thing for certain though, I'll take an X6 over a GLE any day of the week. That Merc looks disgusting, saw one in person over the weekend.
