Im honestly leaning towards the X6 but I still really enjoy my M3, the four doors and more leg room would allow for more use out of the car.

^+1. Get the X6M if you need the extra room. If not, keep the M! P car would be nice though..

X6M is fugly... I would keep the M3 if those were my two options... Now if it were the X5M then maybe I would consider it... It all depends on what ur looking to get from the vehicle... If I had to get an suv or suv type crossover then it would be the X5M...

They compliment each other nicely, but they're two very different cars. If you don't need the room, keep the '3.

It's not about that I don't have room for both cars and there wouldn't be a point.

The X5M looks good but the X6M is just something a little different. The X5M actually leases better. I was also debating on the 750Li.

The M3 doesn't get much weekend time simply because I can't go out with my fiance and friends on it simply because it's not comfortable for 4 people.

so cal member bluedyno's x6m is ridiculous, so sick....that being said, both the M3 and X6M are great vehicles in their own right...which P car are you considering?

only problem I have with the X6 design in general is that for that big of a car, that back seat should over a 5th seat, makes now sense to make it just a four seater IMO...mind as well get the X5M IMO if you really want the extra room...


GL with your decision...

Keep the M3 and get shorter friends.

I wouldn't ditch the M3 for any P-wagen unless it's a Panamera, you'll have the same space problem with a 911 so if you're going to make a change for something bigger, stick with BMW.

x6m looks nice, kind of beefy. its very different and grabbed my attention. but i would never drive a suv or suv/coupe hybrid. not my thing.

p-cars are cool too, which i voted for.

Two different worlds. If you've only had the car a year or so and are already debating whether to turn it in for something else then apparently you're not a fan of the E93. I wouldn't, but give the X6M a whirl.

That's one gorgeous E93... Clean and stunning...

If you need more room get the X6M, it's not THAT bad... Both the X5M and the X6M lease programs are disgusting (easy $1,500+ / month).

I'd keep that E93 no question but you seem to have practicality issues so maybe a bigger car is what you need. Maybe just wait for the F10 M5? Or if you can't wait, F10 550i, M-Sport package and a tune - you'll be blowing a lot of cars out of the water.
