Same as with X5 or X3, to make your d!ck feel bigger than it really is.
All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?

personally, just as far as looks go, i'd like it if it was a kia. now on to the whole purpose of the thing...yeah no. no purpose. it's a richy-rich soccer mom mobile, or transportation for her douche husband.
2. BMW wants to prove to themselves that people will buy anything with their badge on it.
Let's be honest. If this exact same design was wearing a Lexus badge, the Car Lounge would have ripped it to shreds, thus proving my second point.
I agree 110%.
I for one hope it flops, if for no other reason than I feel BMW is getting too arrogant. First Bangle's flame surfacing, then I-Drive, then stupid gearshifters and turn signals. On top of that, they routinely have the worst interior designs money can buy. I know I'm grasping to a bygone era (surely a sign I'm getting "old"), but for me, BMW peaked nearly a decade ago around the time of the E39 & E46.

You are right.
BMW has figured that since people buy those monstrosities, called Lexus RX350, there aren't going to be any troubles selling X6.

I'm not sure why this car makes me laugh so much. I just feel like its entirely uncalled for. I really didn't think BMW would succumb to this type of mentality any time soon.

A bone stock 99 Jetta 1.8T. The car would be $8000, but I'd spend the other $62,000 on window regulators, MAFS, and clutches.

You've only accounted for about half of the X3 and X5 drivers. What about the female drivers?
Honestly though, I think it would have been more prudent for BMW to focus on making the current lineup as best as it can be rather than introducing a niche vehicle which doesn't really have a place in the market.

The 288 GTO is the best looking thing ever created by humans.
A quazi-sports car that can fit myself and three 21 year old badge whore women and a few cases of wine for when I'm a dirty old divorcee living in Napa! Thank you BMW!!

GLS_VR6 » I guess the E90 turned out to be a dissapointment to be, largely because I could see how better the E46 was
I f*ckin dig it. Driving bigger cars is fun, and if I can get my utility in a car based, great handling, good looking, dirt road and two track killing vehicle, then hell yeah.
I think Phil is a pretty cool guy. eh pwns n00bs and doesn't afraid of anything.
