Most reliable car
This cad has its very own unique performances. I like the features that come along with such as touch screen key remote. Park assist and other fancy technologies. I've owned about 6 months and I love it. Worth the pricing. It's roomy and I love the touch screen panel in the backseat to control features such as the sunroof

Awesome and Unique
I have always liked the quirky styling of the X6. The X6M is an amazing vehicle that meets all my needs in terms of carrying capacity, performance, and handling. In my opinion, It is faultless. It can be driven sedately or, it's suspension, steering, and engine mapping can be placed into "beast mode" which transforms the vehicle
into an M4-type experience. Its transformation defies the senses.
