My X6M

Well it's been a long wait (2 months without my M5!!), but we finally got our X6M...have barely driven it but really like the feel so far...nice direct steering, the torque application to the outside wheel is amazing, and what little I have dipped into the engine it is a powerhouse.

I like the looks of X6, and the M just looks great. If I needed an SUV, I'd take this over the Porsche any day!

Regarding the torque distribution, if this shifts to the front wheels, does this feel like torque steering in a front wheel drive? I don't know if I'd like that.

Congradulations.

Thanks guys!

The interior is Cinnamon extended.

The system is setup with a rear bias, the torque vectoring works to turn the outside wheel in turns, it is amazing and makes the corner unbelievably! I don't think it would ever put that much power to the front wheel except in slippery low traction situations where you would not get a torque steer feeling. You can pull it up on the screen to see it real time as well which is cool.
