@BigDave That’s really useful info. Many thanks. If I get an X5 it would be used much as your X6. If I got a diesel one, I’m tempted by the M50d, but the 22” alloys worry me a bit (slightly harsher ride / kerb risk). Have you driven a new generation X5/X6 with the 30d engine? The reviews are all brilliant, so logically that’s the one to get, but I’m wondering how noticeable the extra power and torque of the 40d translates in real life? I came close to buying a new X5 a few months before Covid kicked off. The 40d had just been launched and, at the time, was only £1,500 more than a 30d, which made it a no brainer (the price gap is a lot more now). However, if I get one now it would be a second car, so a used current generation one makes more sense, and there are very few used 40d’s. Most tend to be the 45e PHEV.
Lastly, does your X6 have the M-Sport Pro pack? If so, I’m wondering if the M Sport Exhaust System (which comes with it) sounds good, as I really fancy something with a throaty / raspy exhaust tone (pathetic, I know, at my age, but I had a 750i Sport with a 4.4 litre 8 cylinder engine once, and I was disappointed that it was near silent 😂). An relative of mine had a Porsche Macan GTS with their sports exhaust system and it sounded superb, even at idle!
