    But if you need to carry people you can always buy a people carrier.

    I guess that's not a compensating device though...
    The current X5 has three rows of seats; front, rear and jumpseats.

    I was given one as a loner while my M6 was being serviced, it's a tank. The best handling tank I've ever driven, but a tank none the less.

    Of course not. It's the badge that they're after.

    So is it two or three rows guys? Make up your minds!

    I'm sure it handled well. The X6 is supposed to be amazing. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a stupid niche car that serves no purpose.

    I wished for better BMWs too!

    But the thing is Nic is right, no matter how amazing it is it will never be as good as a car.

    Okay.

    Yeah, if you really need the room get a wagon version of the BMWs.
