I feel a pattern forming here.

There is only one reason....
....to make money from people who are to bloody awkward to buy any other vehicle that BMW make!
It is a daft car in my opinion

Well, I can sort of see a niche for the X1, but the X6 is plain crazy. A coupe/SUV hybrid?

The new Mini Coupe has to be up there too.
Both fugly cars.

As a mate of mine says..... "just like a Focus on Steroids"
They do an M-version too <fx> Facepalm </fx>
Porsche Cayenne Turbo is the car that proves the Germans have a sense of humour..... seriously good fun, 2+ tonnes of metal should not move that quickly short of falling off a cliff !

G-Wizz is the only thing that comes close in the pointlessness stakes.
[EDIT] Beaten to it[EDIT] Any journey with a car that can't go more than 20miles (remember you have to get back too!) with no luggage space must be better by bike.Porsche Cayenne Turbo is the car that proves the Germans have a sense of humour..... seriously good fun, 2+ tonnes of metal should not move that quickly short of falling off a cliff !
This is argueably more pointless but does look great fun
At least it can go off-road too. Probably better at charging accross deserts than picking it's way through a ofrrest mind.

The X6 is a proper wankerwagon for sure.

It didn't seem to work out that way for ex-owners Uday Hussein and Saaf Gaddafi, both of whom failed to charge across deserts away from their eventual captors...Posted 5 months ago # -
Take a decent, modern looking car
Jack it up
Make it eat lard for a few months

have you seen the 5 series GT?
that is one wierd car...
Posted 5 months ago # -
There's this

Which seems to have managed to hit those few branches on the ugly tree that even the X6 missed.
Posted 5 months ago # -

5 series seems similar-ish to the Merc R 350. Not exactly hateful, just really really weird and specific.
Can't decide if it's totally pointless or in fact very useful for the really specific role of a big, sort of estate, sort of soft - roader, which is also incredibly luxurious and fast. Odd.Posted 5 months ago # -
I don't know really... The Austin Ambassador always struck me as pretty pointless. Take a genuinely shit car and make a luxury version, basically spraypainting a turd silver and dousing it in cheap aftershave. Still a turd, just a turd for people that wanted the impression of something expensive.

At least you could argue that the X6 is useful for ... Nope. Not really got a good answer to that.

What was once a great design (the original Mini) now trashed by the Germans

Ever notice these "pointless" or "stupid" car threads are always about cars the OP and subsequent posters can't afford?

Who says we can't afford them (or already own one of the cars posted already...)

@randomjeremy - that's one hell of an assumption sir.

@thepurist - maybe, but I'd be willing to wager a pretty penny it's true

Take an MX5, remove everything good about it, whilst working hard to keep the bad bits, and what do pu have? A Suzuki X90

Maybe, but at least give us filthy proles something to aspire to.

If you're going there, then what about the Allegro VdP?
Anybody want a bet that random owns an X6 (because he likes to show everybody he can afford it - even though it's actually on HP which he's struggling to meet the payments for).
Posted 5 months ago # -
If you could afford and did own one, would you admit to owning any of the above?
