Autopartswarehouse.com Finds WAG Driving a BMW X6

WAG…Do you know that this is an acronym? Those who do not watch football and do not read celebrity news probably don’t know that there is such an acronym. I will not leave you wondering what WAG really means. WAG simply means Wives And Girlfriends of professional soccer players. The Britich tabloid used this term in their writing when referring to English football players’ significant someone. You know some WAGs out there today. One of the most popular and is considered the Queen of WAGs is none other than former-spice girl Victoria Beckham. Then, also making waves is Alex Curran, wife of Liverpool and England footballer Steven Gerrard. Alex is called the “uber-WAG.”

 

But aside from being a WAG, Alex is also an entrepreneur. She takes particular interest in perfumes. In fact she just launched her own perfume “Alex” last year, October 29, 2007. Her business must be doing pretty well as she’s able to buy a £50,000 brand new BMW X6. Maybe it’s a present from hubby? Nah, I think she merely splurged on herself.  She was spotted driving her brand new white BMW X6 when she went shopping in Liverpool a few days ago.

 

What attracted Alex to this car? Well, the BMW X6 is a big car. It is a “Sports Activity Coupe” built by BMW at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. This was officially unveiled at the 2008 Detroit International Auto Show. For a big car, the BMW X6 seats only 4 people. In terms of exterior design, some people might find it wanting; but not Alex Curran. She seems to like the classically sloping roof line and profile. Though the exterior is not that perfect, the quality of its performance more than make up for it.

 

The BMW X6 comes in two trims – the xDrive35i and xDrive50i. The first one boasts a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. It also comes with luxurious upholstery, power front seats, and top-notch audio system. The xDrive50i on the other hand runs on a 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 engine that generates 400 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. Both trims are all-wheel drives and functions using a 6-speed automatic transmission with shift control. 

 

The features of the new BMW X6 are definitely impressive. Alex Curran knows quality when she sees one. She certainly picked a winner in the BMW X6 that she drives now.
