Go buy a Mini Cooper Countryman. Check out the Car and Driver review of the new F48. One of BMW's executives allegedly said the absence of a 6cyl engine option is a problem. BMW is alienating a whole subset of performance enthusiasts. Yes, the E84 with 6cyl was low volume seller, but I surmise that the same can likely be said about the X3 with 6cyl. Shame to butcher one of the last great true BMW vehicles to make it part of the rest of the company's crossover fleet without any differentiation like the current model.
