After talking with the Dealer, and crunching numbers, the GC I ended up taking was a bit less expensive than either of the X6M's I had in mind. The GC was also so new and just an incredible looking car, especially the interior, I couldn't resist, lol.
LIke I said earlier, It is my humble opinion that the 6GC is the most beautiful BMW to date, and one of the hottest cars on the road, but the X6 is just more my style. After a few months of driving the GC, then after some kid put a scratch on the passenger side rear door last summer, I think about getting into an X6M almost daily. This winter we have been having is another reason I miss having the utility of an SUV/SAC.
I will take your advice and start crunching the numbers on a 13/14 X6M when the 2015 LCI models go into productions which is only a few months away. This time, I won't be so impulsive and go for the first "pretty girl" I see, lol. I should know better, but I fell for the GC's obvious charm last year.

Goodluck with your next purchase. Bud
For me the story is little bit different. Actually, when I was pretty satisfied with my last X6 3.5i, but I just felt is was underpowered. I still remember I was smoked by a tuned Acura TL on night. Since then, I decided to get a new car. When my old x6 got 50000kms on it, I went to my dealer and talked about my next purchase.
Similarly, I also wanted x6m or MB ML63 at that time. Went to test drove a ml63, it is just not my car. It is luxury it is true, but I just felt it does not suit my personality.
I went back BMW dealer and wanted to tell my sales person, i want a x6m. However, when I steped into dealership, the 6gc appeared in front me.
it really opened my heart at that time. I even did not think about other staffs, just called my significant other and told her I want a 6gc instead of x6m and signed mu contract at almost the same time. The price was little bit more than $130,000 cdn, so actually it was way expensive than a fully loaded x6m.
After around 9 months ownership, I just felt it is not a car for me. It is true that 6gc is a car near perfection and everybody sees it admits it is a sexy car.
However, it is just not a car suit for my dd needs. I do not need to wear formal clothes to work everyday and I am doing my second bachelar degree now.
I am a 28 year old college student. My own bussiness is also nothing about statement.
the more I think, the more I feel x6m is all I need. fast, powerful, practical and stylish.
Anyway, I decided I will trade in or sell my 6gc for a x6m this year. (I am thinking about what shall I say to my significant other now, no her permission, my mind does not make any sense
). The fortunate thing is she is a big fan of x6.
I just need to find some reason make her more convinced.
