2.5 starts out of 5.

"X6M fails to impress like an M-car should on track, feeling unsettled under braking and struggling with understeer."

"...much the same could be said for the £20K cheaper xDrive50i, which isn't that much slower and sounds like a proper V8. If you want a quick X6, that remains our recommendation. The X6M may be fast, but it's an even worse idea than we feared."
I cringed when I read this, but to be fair I also cringed when BMW announced they were going to build it. Its the M for badge whores. I am sorry, but whoever buys a 'performance' SUV needs to have their heads checked. Weight and power should not mix.
