They are pulling a lot of power out of those Audi's with tuning, there is no real tuning option for the N63TU so you can make the S7 faster than the 650i gran at the moment. Eventually when there is like a JB4 for the N63TU it will be a different story.

I'm really glad this topic came up, because I would like some genuine feedback from you guys.
So I am really torn between the X6M or an X6 50i. I really want the power and prestige that comes with the X6M, but honestly, that power would go to waste since most of my driving environment would not allow such a beast to be free. Also, the exterior color options are not calling out to me, Although I would settle for the Donnington Gray if I go for the M. I was looking forward to having the full digital cluster in my next bimmer, which is not available on the M either. Highly disappointed about that. The 50i on the other hand would have the digital cluster that I wanted, and I really like the Graphite Gray as an exterior color. I would definitely go with the Msport package on the 50i. The only thing the 50i is lacking in my opinion is the power, prestige , the seats of course and the transmission selector found in the X6M . What are your thoughts? My lease will be up this winter, so I would like some help and knowledge and experience from you all.

You brought up a great point... if the residuals are the same after crunching the numbers, then the M would be a great lease option. Decisions, decisions

Do I need the power of the M...? No. Do I want the power...? HELL YEAH!!! If I could get the M in graphite gray and the digital cluster, I would already have made my choice. My problem is, I could get the 50i, and have the exact color I want, and the digital cluster I like, wrapped up in a package with more than enough power for my commute. I know the X6 50i has the same engine as my current car, and my GC is already over powered for my driving around NY. The X6M is... well the M! Very aggressive looking, awesome performance when I call for it (maybe 3-5 times a year) but I would be "settling " for an exterior color, and "sacrificing " the digital cluster which I like, even though I know a lot of people find it gimmicky. All for 20k more that a car that has all the specs I want, except for the power. I still have a few months before a decision has to be made, and I'm still leaning towards the M, but the practical side of me knows that the 50i is more than enough to suit, but not necessarily satisfy my needs.

I drive like a grandmother these days, the last thing I "need" is an Alpina. But the style and uniqueness got me to place the order. Are you not going to take advantage of the 6 month pull ahead program? |

I'm probably going to keep my 2013 640i GC, and buy a 2016 Challenger SRT and a Nissan Patrol (Same thing as the Big Infiniti, the Nissan Patrol is what the infiniti is based on)

I know what you mean. For the most part, when I'm in traffic (which is 90 %of the time) I drive conservative , but on the rare occasion I do like to play on the streets and I am itching for my first M. I'll be back on this thread in a few months when I'm eligible for the pull ahead program and posting pictures of whatever I have them build for me.

I think I have to let my wife go first, and she will likely go from her '14 435xi to a '16 X6 or X4. I'm going to hold off for a few years, and go from my '14 640xi GC to an M6 GC. In some ways, I hope they keep the exact same body style, but I'm also curious what they might do to the next iteration of the M6 GC. Honestly, I should have waited a couple years and saved for the M6, and I could have had one by the end of next year. The job I have comes with a company truck, so I didn't even need the 640. In fact, I only have 2,500 miles on it.......I bought it 11 months ago.
Somebody will get an amazing car when they buy mine in a few years. It will be four years old and only have 10K miles on it! |

Come on man. It's like I don't know how to say it lool. Sell you 640 and get m6. Or if you want to keep it as you say. So cancel the Nissan and get the new corvette. |

Yeah i didn't get that either.. Keep the 640i GC, get a Vette and forget about those other 2. What's the point of the Challenger? It's a slow and heavy beast, if he said Hellcat that would have been another story, but the C7 Vette kills the Challenger all day in looks, handling, and performance.

i8 (hopefully a more powerful version), F-Type V8 or the MB coupe (the new one). If money is low, used R8. Nothing happened ening until 2020. Wife will get an X6 next year.
