The X series does not offer what I want from my BMW but I understand why they sell.

John, what about a car like mine (535d M Sport)? They are very good value nearly new, have a huge back seat (the kids moaned about my 6 series too) and handle better than a 6 series in the wet if you get the 19" wheels with the non-runflat tyres. Weighes nearly 500kg less than an X6 too!

Mate I just love this X6, I drove it again in Norfolk for an hour on Wednesday and it returned 36MPG, with the added P-Tronic box it should average that will plenty of go as well, I got the invoice for the X6 which I speced high (£54780) and my PX for the 635DS next september was £44728 unlimited miles til then
That I thought was a good deal.
The 5 series has never floated my boat, don't like the shape much, in the flesh the X6 looks sooo much nicer, big yea but nice.

That's a good price for the 635 and obviously you are getting an X6 to your spec. A bit of RWD fun now and then 4WD for the winter.

Yep, I have speced it right up with most options, and in Deep Sea Blue with the oyster leather should be rare as so far acording to BMW uk only 3 have been ordered in that colour, 1 of which is already on the road (Dr D's brother).
