Reviews of the 2008 BMW X6 xDrive35i

CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 BMW X6's navigation system comes with well-integrated traffic reporting, the iPod adapter works well with the stereo system, and the Bluetooth cell phone integration accesses contact lists. The car handles well in hard maneuvering and the transmission can automatically sport shift.
The Bad: Fuel economy is poor, and isn't made up for with massive acceleration. The iDrive interface remains a problem, and the car is very pricey.
The Bottom Line: The design of the 2008 BMW X6 might be polarizing, although we have yet to meet someone who loves it, and it will take that kind of love to fork over the money for one. Although it has excellent cabin electronics and superior handling, it is far from a practical car.
