Thanks.
And yes I'm the Chip from ByteSpeed.
I am on a number of other car forums and have run into this problem.
I have posted pictures only to have people dismiss them by saying they could be anybodys cars.
Frankly, I don't care enough to debate the truthfulness of my statement other than to provide this gallery on a BMW forum I'm a member of:http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/album.php?albumid=1532
If people choose not to believe me I'm not going to worry about it because it doesn't change the fact I have (or have had) the vehicles I listed.
I'm just here to share my impressions.Bimmerpost.com is an amazing site.
HUGE amounts of info/a great community

I have mixed feelings about it. I had it in my M6 too. It seems cool at first but after awhile it just kind of fades from my notice. I much prefer all the performance readings the GTR pumps out.I had the opportunity to drive a m6 this summer and thought the same thing in the 3 mins that I drove it.... You don't even notice it!!!
I can imagine after a few weeks of having the car you would totally forget about it...
Its cool though!
Does the x6m still deliver that "BMW M car feel" that other M's deliver?? (The connection to the road/car)
Beings that its their first M-SAV... I have reason to be skeptical about it all...

As much as I would like to say the X6M has the feel of an M3 I'd be lying if I did. Its a great performing SUV. It has no serious rival in that segment, not even a Turbo S, but its certainly not an M3. Having said that, I don't think M6s and M5s are that nimble either. My X6M is a great GT car alternative. If you want practicality, straight line speed, and better handling than other SUVs it is brilliant. If you want to a practical track car that can be used as a DD stick to the M3.
I do, though, think the M badge was appropriate. It's a serious piece of performance machinery that is a cut above the rest in the SUV segment.

Hey Chip, Welcome to Fargostreet! If you search through the old threads on this site you'll probably see lots of people talking about you and your cars. You are kind of a Fargostreet celebrity. Nice to see you here "in person".
I toured the spartanburg plant back in april and they were just getting ready to start building these... the X5M & X6M hadn't been announced yet. The factory tour was really amazing.
