both x5m and x6m are pretty much the same to me... theyre not track cars... but they are very fast trucks ! cant go wrong either way. but the x5 would have way more practicality

First of all, Marcus, there is no problem here.
Secondly, you are right, it IS a "sport SUV". I drive my X6 M a couple days a week. Do you not need an SAV? I feel bad for you. You may even only have 1 car and therefore think that everyone's car-buying decision should be based upon what you perceive as the best car that someone who can only afford or garage a single car should have.
Third, who needs an SAV with 555 hp / 501 ft/lbs of torque? I do. On the 2 or 3 days a week I drive mine, I enjoy the 0-60 in the 4.3 sec I've clocked with my G-Tech. I enjoy the massive acceleration on the freeway from 65 to 90 that throws my head back against the headrest. I like driving quickly on the freeway in the heavy rain in a car that is as stable as a freight train. I really enjoyed pulling a Cayenne S out of the ditch the other morning when we had a black ice episode. And, frankly, sometimes I even enjoy getting on the tail of an Carrera S, M3 or M5 and pushing him really hard.
But that's just me.
I love it when other people tell me what I should drive. Marcus' only surprise was not throwing old that tired, old argument: telling me that I could have bought 3 1/2 Ford SUVs for what my X6 M cost me.
Memo from BMW to Marcus: "We know that the X6 M is typically not the buyer's only car. There is a very lucrative market out there for people who have several cars. Those people usually crave performance. That is why the performance versions of Porsche Cayenne S, Turbo & GTS have been such a big success and Porsche AG has made a bundle on them. We want some of that action and we expect to completely sell out our 2010 allocation of X6 Ms. This is not a "build it and they will come" vehicle. We've done our homework. Although we certainly expect that some people will buy it as their only car or daily driver, our research indicates that it will typically be the buyer's 2nd, 3rd or 4th car in their garage."
