X6 delivery!

Posted on by Ian C.

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 …

Biltmore again

We’ve visited Biltmore House in NC once before (back in 2011) and I note writing back then that photos inside the house weren’t allowed – well I certainly took a lot of interior photos on this visit and no-one told me off!

We spent about five hours in total, walking through the huge house interior and also a lot of the grounds including the conservatory – as you can see it’s a bit early in the year for the gardens but it’s still lovely (I do however struggle with the almost $90/person cost!) …

Here’s some house / interior photos:

And photos of the grounds and the conservatory …

X6 preview

Posted on by Ian C.

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 …
