Spy photos spoil the inside of the new BMW X6

I do hope that's the third row of this vehicle. There's more headroom in a CLS-Class.

Does the X6 really need 3rd row seating? Does a BMW SUV ever need 3rd row seating?

The new X5's 3rd row is clearly a running joke. They were just added so they can say that there is one. Whether anyone actually "seriously" plans to use it is another story.

One would think that the X6 would be larger and more roomy than the current X5...thus allowing for additional room for the 2nd & 3rd rows along with cargo space behind the 3rd row...ala M-B GL. The rumored X4 would seem to be the platform for a more car-like X-series SUV to disregard kids and focus on sport & activity.

This is an ugly looking vehicle. What's going on at BMW headquarters?

No Sevorbeupstry the April Fools Joke were the sketches of the X6 COncept that was to debut at the NYC Auto SHow as well as a VW Cross Phaeton. The joke was there was no X6 Concept....it was a "Con" for the April FOol's KJoke of the day. There were no real life pics with that April Fool's story. PLEASE research a little before you post things. Here is the link if you do not believe me....

This will be as successful as the Mercedes R class. They both have that hearse look.

To be fair, there is a lot of interior loose fabric, so there probably is more headroom. But that rear screen is miniature. How are you supposed to park it?

There's ample headroom.

Notice how the roof raises above the seats? It's called headroom.

I'm blown away by the ignorance on this site...If you can't figure out or realize that the pictures shown here are spy photos & not the finished product, you shouldn't even come to this website.

"david999" & "jasongoudie" are a couple examples of what I'm talking about.

I don't know.

Maybe there is a market for wealthy housewives desiring something faster, yet even more hideous than the Merc R class.

The X5 is nice enough. This is just a waste of resources. BMW, bring back the 8!

No "Will" I guarantee you not...as most of us German fans realize this is nothing but some camo doing exactly what it's meant to do.

Besides at least myself as a hard core Bimmer fan can come to the realization that BMW has a couple of ugly duckling's in their model line & admit it.

Lexus fans however refuse to admit the ES is ugly, the SC is ugly, the new LX is a major step backwards from a design point of view (not that it was anything amazing to begin with), & the LS's styling is far from anything special.

Not to mention the constant moronic comments made by Lexus fans in which have absolutely no fact to them. I mean as far as I'm concerned the Lexus fan boys are even worse than the Bimmer knuckleheads.

There are more pics.

As you can see, the dash looks just like my car. (Which is a 2007 X5).

What is the point of the X6? It is ugly and unpratical by all means.

So "david999" if you know they're spy photos, then how can you say it's ugly? If I was looking at a camoed Lexus I'd have no comment on the asthetics because it wouldn't look remotely close to the real thing.

When it comes to design I have no bias, I think the GS & IS both look better than their BMW counter-parts. You obviously don't share this trait as your calling something that might as well have a sheet over it ugly, because you know it's a BMW.
