Hey guys,I finally caught two beautiful TT V-8 X6's out testing last week.These appeared to be finished production level 50i's.These are the first two finished V-8's I've spotted anywhere.I saw these two pull out of the BMW Training and Development Center.I thought this was some sort of HR Facility for BMW Associates.I did not expect two V-8 X6's to come blasting out of this place!!!??? I got behind and beside one of the cars at a stop sign.One of the doors opened and a guy got out...... and walked toward me...rutt row:yikes: Luckily the guy kidda smiled at me and opened the rear hatch.I'm not sure what the stuff is hanging out of the rear hatch.The two X6's did several high speed runs on this road behind the BMW Plant.They would do a U turn prior to getting to the traffic signal at each end of the street.After a couple of high speed passes on this road the X6's went to the Performance Center and did 4 or 5 hot laps there.These V-8's did not sound well.They had the deep "NASCAR" V-8 rumble,but these two engines almost sounded like they were misfiring or running on less than 8 cylinders.Maybe the engine sound was somehow tied into the test they were preforming.I'm sure BMW Engineers will get it sorted out prior to production.Thanks.
