Black 50i X6

Hey guys caught this beautiful Black X6 at The International Center for Automotive Research ( ICAR) here in town.BMW has a Research Facility in this Business Park.I will assume this X6 was left over from the Press Launch.It was open so I took a bunch of pic's.I know we are all tired of seeing those VR TTV8's.It was nice to see the 50i in something other than VR.This car also had the Leather Dash.....very nice.I've got some closeups.I'll post these pic's up in three or so threads.Thanks.PalBay

Nice pictures. This must be Black Sapphire 50i which looks a little gray. I think Jet Black would look better, more darker. Thanks

I like the 5.0 in black because the chrome silver window surrounds, silver grill and big silver exausts set off the black. I'm not sure it would look as good on the 35i with black window surrounds and grill, and small chrome pipes. Kinda stealth that way. Cheap

Awesome. I haven't seen a color yet that the X6 doesn't look good in.

Nice to see this one doesn't have the rinky-dink running boards. Much classier without. And I suppose somebody out there must like those roof rails. If it's a dealer option, you can bet that all in-stock X6s will go out the door with the high-profit rails pre-installed.

I wonder where a trailer hitch will go? The brochure says the X6 is pre-wired for a hitch, but there sure doesn't seem anywhere to install it. Of course, the brochure also says a rear wiper is standard...

Your right wwspiderbig those wheels look great, I haved tried 2x to get them on 35i but no go, they will only sell them with 50i. I also agree with Suzie's Dad about running boards, aside from looking cheap they banged my leg every time I got in or out of x5. Cheap

You can add them later, my advice go for the Chrome ones, the black ones look very cheap and plastic like...
