I have surround view on the X6 M and whilst it's a cool function, the reverse camera is the most useful part of it.

What is the x6 M like to drive? it has the same s63 engine right? I like the look of these and been looking at these. The 4 wheel drive nature and the high driving position is tempting over an M5. But the price of these, decent F10 M5 25K but 40k for an X6. But it is a bigger and a premium car from what i understand.

It's a beast, yes it has the S63 but they are 575hp (like the M5 CP). It's a huge car (the looks aren't to everyones liking) but in my view they are a great used buy - standard spec levels are decent and the standard leather dash does make it feel more premium. Although the new X6 is imminent, I felt the F86 felt fresher looking than the F10 M5.
