Caught up to this on 81 between Watertown and Syracuse.
Turned out it was just BMW’s new crossover. Man it’s ugly from the back. It really looks like a redneck put a lift kit on a 3 series. Not bad from the side though.
i actually think they look good. From a practical stand point, doesn’t look like much head room/storage in the rear, but i’ve never been in one.
X6:
404hp Turbo V-8 sounds nice.
New X6, there pretty nice
they’re?
Carpal tunnel is what you get if youre gonna start correcting people on this site about that.
I like the car… I mean truck… I mean crossover… whatever
I think I just threw up in my mouth…
Lifted 318ti?
Boosauce.
damn thats strange
i saw one of these at the gas station in east aurora, there was a soccer mom driving it. the front rims were covered in so much brake debris, it was just an all black rim.
404hp Turbo V-8 sounds nice.
WHAT? no need to turbo a v8 to get 404hp…
4.4L V8. Turbo doesn’t hurt. There is also a turbo I6 available in the base model.
That’s right… the BASE Model is a 300hp 300ftlb turbo 3.0L I6.
lifted e96 3 series on 28’s would be hot.
Saw these in Pittsburgh back in April when i was down there for a graduation but I haven’t actually seen one on the road yet. I don’t know what it worse, this or the Infinity thing
yea ive seen a few around me, made me look twice at first
its the first time (other than the lexus) that SPORT came to mind when seeing an SUV. though I guess they are cross overs not SUVs so they are XUVs?
I saw one at the mini/bmw dealer on main near transit, same color. They look super cramped and definitely ugly from the back. Altho it’s still pretty neat. Price comparison v cayenne/fx?

That V8 sounds like a good time.
So close to the same acceleration as a Cayenne turbo for 40k less? Sounds more appealing all of a sudden.
