The X6 test car costs almost DKK 2.5 million. The test car costs DKK 1.8 million as standard. DKK, but is loaded with extra equipment, so the price tag approaches DKK 2.5 million. Then you get, among other things, a Bowers & Wilkins surround system that transforms the cabin into a concert hall. The adaptive M suspension lets you choose between a comfortable or firm suspension. Laser lights turn night into day, and Parking Assistant Plus, which parks the car itself, saves you a lot of sweat in Copenhagen, where the parking bays are designed for micro cars. 
Superior traveling companion Unsurprisingly, the X6 M50i is a superior touring car, ignoring crosswinds and reducing wind noise like a pair of noise-canceling headphones. It is also very fast. With 530 hp and 750 Nm, it thunders forward. 70 to 120 km/h moves like 0-50 in a GTI. The X6 M50i is an engineering feat of power that combines high comfort with a grip that defies the laws of physics for a 2.3 tonne bass. 
The trend dictates large SUVs a la X6 The problem, apart from the controversial appearance, is that it is not a particularly involving car to drive. It's hard to interpret how far the Giant is from losing its footing when you hum enthusiastically without the shadow of heeling. It almost hums on rails – unless you switch off the ESC system, after which the rear end comes alive when you step on the accelerator. You don't want the latter on public roads. It's a lot of wasted energy, which is better served in a BMW M550i. BMW probably doesn't care. The customers decide, and the trend right now dictates large luxury SUVs.
