Back from a short vacation we took to the gulf coast, my new X6 passed 1000 miles and is proving to be very economical, fuel wise – filling up today after the trip, the car averaged 27.5mpg on the full tank (driving 563 miles), and according to the car we achieved 34mpg on the drive yesterday (which was a 100 mile trip at a steady 70+/- with few traffic jams)!
Once before Margaret and I visited the BMW Performance Center when her Z4 was delivered, and today we are back, for delivery of my 2025 X6!
We arrived around 8am and by chance spotted the car ready for delivery with sunrise shining all over it:
The day proceeded with being introduced to my new car, setting it up with the “My BMW” app for keyless entry and other features, and of course taking lots of photos …
We also had some fun driving a different X6 on track to experience handling, braking, etc!
At lunch we drove the car out of the delivery area, and after lunch drove over to BMW Zentrum where we had a factory tour (where my X6 was made, along with X3/X4/X5/X7 vehicles); no photos allowed here so there’s just a couple of my new car outside …
We will be getting delivery of my new car this week and tonight the “gallery” in the “My BMW” app opened up with computer generated previews! Until now, right back from when I received my production number back in January, the “gallery” has been filled with “covered up” images, like this one:
But suddenly tonight when I checked, the images had been “uncovered” …
There was also a “drone walkaround” simulation which sadly wasn’t downloadable; I screen-recorded it which is fine other than the || pause symbol present throughout …
