BMW says the convertible will arrive “later in 2008” following the hardtop coupe that arrives in the “spring of 2008.” No specific dates have been set for either, so it’s not clear if non-Floridians will see the car in time for beach or for fall foliage tours. It will be a cloth-top vehicle, not a metal hardtop convertible.

Car and Driver online lists BMW’s X6 as one of the Five Most Significant Debuts of the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show [[LINK http://www.caranddriver.com/autoshows/14034/5-most-significant-debuts-of-the-2007-frankfurt-show.html]]. Writer Steve Siler says, “With its unique profile, sloping rear end, and huge, wide-set wheels, the concept X6 is the ute that Porsche should have built but didn’t. It is one bad lux-u-vee with a blatant disregard for utility, that makes the “sport-activity” (versus “sport-utility”) part of the moniker seem a bit less silly. As for the “coupe” part, well, until they take two doors off the sides, that’ll always be silly.”
