Driving pleasure
Driving the X6 M changed the way I looked at this vehicle.
Some of that gangly look disappeared as the vehicle's performance matured my perception. It has a toughness, a meanness too that it didn't have before. It may not be pretty or sexy, but it's certainly handsome in the same way Tom Petty is handsome.
Hirschfield would, no doubt, be proud of the way I grew during a week of testing the X6 M.
It still may only seat four people, but my advice is to just not be the fifth person invited to ride in it.
The X6 M earns its M badge by what it can do, not by how it looks.
