Well, if he was driving on summer performance tires....

escobar929 · 01-04-2010, 02:28 PM

i kinda agree w/ Jeremy, i dont really see a purpose for a vehicle like that

pokerface · 01-04-2010, 02:29 PM

so did he put the car on P or just pull the E-brake? i was shocked to see the rear wheels lock, but hte front wheels roll when it was rolling backwards downhill!

ad78 · 01-04-2010, 02:54 PM

imagine even you are using those tires.. that grass is not really bad.
quite dissapointing on the X6

MCMLXXXIX · 01-04-2010, 03:05 PM

yea it is disappointing. but i still think its sexy as hell

ad78 · 01-04-2010, 03:11 PM

i made the right choice. the E70 is awesome in snow even im running with RFT's

HPFREAK · 01-04-2010, 03:44 PM

everytime I see the X6 I think ..My god that X5 was in a terrible accident! pointless as a people carrier and pointless every place else. It is basically a status symbol that you had enough money to buy a useless car.

ptack · 01-04-2010, 04:19 PM

The car sliding backwards on grass while he's looking for a handbrake is hilarious.

So how are X6 sales?

Add1ct · 01-04-2010, 05:30 PM

i was totally shocked to see on yahoo autos that they were in demand and hard to find, I think they're ugly and pointless, especially in the hybrid version that gets only 2 hwy mpgs more than the M version

Deda · 01-04-2010, 06:01 PM

Well...i am top gear fan,but this is a crap!

First,BMW X6 is magnet for girls,and that is his purpuse!

Second, noone drives that car on grass,and btw you can see that he drives much slower,then crew in RANGE ROVER!

Third...who the HELL drives on summer performance tires 275 front,315 rear on snow!?

An arogent idiot,which want to show that Range is better in heavy terrain conditions.

Well,we all know that..but i drive BMW X6,because looks and drives great on normal roads and chick love it.

poor guy. clarkson pissed in your cheerios.

Spec 1 · 01-04-2010, 06:53 PM

I love the X6. Each time I see one on the road, especially the upper-end models, my eyes follow. Beautiful with incredible drive and interior, sexy coupe-like lines, and monsterous power. I also think there's plenty of room for 4 people. Not 5, but who cares. I don't ever use the 5th person spot in my back seat.

ACZakka325i · 01-04-2010, 07:48 PM

I LOVE the x6. And you would be a fool to expect good things from Summer Tires in poor conditions.

charcoalwan · 01-04-2010, 10:24 PM

dont care what he is trying to show. i love my x6

Why would Clarkson hate the X6 so much

Clarkson hates almost all current BMWs, so it's really no surprise.

when you open the door like he did the tranny goes into park because it thinks you're getting out and forgetting to throw it in park.

Vudoo4u2 · 01-05-2010, 02:16 AM

summer tires+snow=fail....show over?

Donbona · 01-05-2010, 03:08 AM

I know a few people with an X6 and they think its the worst buy ever.... whats the point in buying a car so big when you have hardly any room for passengers in the rear???
Buy an X5.... much better.
