Looks like you have a blue Weim. I have an 8 month old pup. Pretty smart dog but rambunctious.

I'm #1 for an M3 cabriolet but the snow dump that we've had this year has me leaning towards the X6. It looks like the X6 50 will have similar performance and fuel numbers as the M3 cab. Have you any info re Canadian prices? Considering the M3 prices for the US and Canada I would estimate the X6 50 base price around $78 - 79k - a little less than the M3 cab.

1. Suzie is a Great Dane. Hard to tell from a photo of just her eye!

2. See my post (#3) in the Official X6 Pricing Thread.
