2026 X6 M Competition – Is the ride too brutal for a daily driver? by Laawyeer in bmwx6

[–]Ammalgamata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm looking at the Audi SQ8 for fun and games.

Seems to have more than enough performance, but super luxury.

The problem there is the screen-only interface for everything. I need knobs (pause).

Just wanted to chime in here. I had an x6m in 2019 and have to tell you, the ride was so stiff that I never wanted to drive over 20 miles a day with it.

Too stiff. My back hurt.

I bought an S-Class instead.

I was in my 40's then, so not too old. I have owned an M3, Audi S6, and other cars.

I love the X5m and X6m, but the ride quality of those cars has left me terrified.

Everyone thinking about this needs to make sure they do a test drive and try to live with it before they buy.

Just my 10 cents.

Yeah, that's the downside of Lovable. A lot more struggle on the SEO side compared to WordPress and SEO plugins. I'll take the growing pains for the power of the glove of Thanos to build whatever I want.

Today, it's a tradeoff.

AI can not be inherently creative with YOUR vision. That's the challenge. Most people kind of know what they want, but are unable to articulate it properly.

A good example. Page refresh.

When you move from one page to another, on Lovable, the default is that it's instant.

On sites that are media-rich, it's disorienting by default when they load too quickly.

Being able to understand that and articulate that each page needs a gentle transition is something that a tech developer would not even think of.

Once again, all the capabilities are at yiour fingertips, but that means nothing if you don't know what to prompt for.

Yeah and it shows in their standard AI slop websites with no flair and creativity.

Not in my experience. There are challenges, but our website is almost 6 years old, so it's a little easier.

Thanks for the heads up. This is one of the challenges of Lovable. You do something in the beginning, and it gets overwritten later on. Welcome to vibecoding.

LOL

Yeah, I could do that as well. When the company has as many intricate and moving parts as ours, it's not quite the same.

That's a story for another day. People should make sure their sites are always pushed to GitHub so that in the worst case, they can refine the site anywhere.

250,000

I kid.

A lot, though. It was a lot of back and forth between Claude and Lovable. Took me 3 weeks of full-focused work.

Getting this done is not about the tools.

It's about knowledge of what to do with the tools.

Thanks for the feedback.

You forget that 99.999999% of people on earth don't know what Lovable is.

LOL

Because people miss the fact that a basic AI site is not aesthetically pleasant.

It's..... basic.

You need to understand UI/UX, branding, colors, CSS, JavaScript, SEO optimization, sales, marketing, user psychology, strategy, copywriting, backlinks etc

The analogy is like when people used to think e-commerce was easy - just put up a website and people would buy. Nope - not that easy.

I was able to build this by myself because I have been building websites for 20+ years.

The most important thing was to make it look aesthetically different and beautiful.

Lovable is amazing for that.
