With 600 hp under the hood, the X6 M tried to offer more performance for the SUV-lovers in a package that started the SUV-coupe trend.
When the first X6 came on the market in 2007, it received as much appreciation as hate from its fans. But BMW didn’t care too much about that and pushed forward, and soon, the customers started to like it. By 2019, the X6 was already at its third generation, and its main competitors tried to catch it.

BMW offered a special exterior package for the X6 M. The front bumper sported a unique design with a wide center grille flanked by two side-scoops. In addition to these, another pair of slimmer air-intakes found their place on the lowest side of the apron. The laser light system was a standard feature for the X6 M and X6 M Competition Package. Worth mentioning that every aerodynamic detail of the car was functional, including the twin rear spoilers, mounted at the top side of the liftgate and on the lower flat panel, above the LED taillights. A set of four, round exhausts poked underneath the car.

Inside, the carmaker installed a leather-clad cabin. Its front bucket seats with high-bolstered areas and integrated headrest promised excellent side support during hard cornering. For the rear seats, BMW installed a bench for three. The dashboard featured slim vents on the center stack, under the wide, 12.3” infotainment display. For the 2019 model, the X6 M sported a 12.3” digital instrument panel.

Under the hood, BMW M installed an evolved 4.4-liter twin-turbo engine. Unlike its predecessor, which offered 575 hp, the 2019 model provided 600 hp for the regular M and 625 for the Competition Package version.

BMW’s high-performance Sports Activity Coupe got enhanced once again for 2015, combining the characteristic features of the X family with the commitment to high performance the M branch offers.
The robust exterior is characterized by large air intakes at the front, side gills, a four-pipe exhaust, 21-inch alloy rims, a rear spoiler and some aggressive sharp lines.

Inside you get an update environment, in tone with the automaker’s current design style, a new M leather steering wheel with integrated aluminum gearshift paddles and M sports seats in Merino leather for the driver and front passenger (with electric adjustment and memory function), leather-covered instrument panel, anthracite-colored BMW roof liner, aluminum trimmings and more.

Technically, the new X6M comes with the new M twin-turbocharged engine, race-inspired cooling and exhaust systems, an upgraded chassis, modified suspension, mixed tires for optimized handling, intelligent all-wheel-drive, high performance brakes, and more.

What was it really? A hatchback? An SUV? A crossover? Well, all of them.
A jacked-up hatchback with a very precise steering and ridiculous power.

Sure, everything sounds nice, but it had to come with some compromises: limited cargo space and seating for four.

Not a practical or versatile vehicle, but a great option for passionate drivers.

The X6M was developed by the BMW’s Motorsport division and featured a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that cranked out no less than 555 hp, and that’s 5 hp more than the engine on the Caynne Turbo S.

Interesting for a crossover, the X6M drove like a sports sedan and was equipped with 20-inch alloys and a special-sport-tuned adaptive suspension.

The X6M offered seating for 4 and featured an ample list of standard features such as 20-inch alloys, a self-leveling electronically adjustable active suspension, front and rear parking sensors, xenon headlamps, headlight washers, a power liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, Bluetooth connectivity and a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic.

Optional features included soft-close automatic doors, ventilated seats, heat steering wheel, heated rear seats, a rearview camera, a head-up display, a 16-speaker premium sound system, keyless entry, a rear-seat entertainment system and towing preparation.

Only 4,8 seconds in the sprint to 100 km/h was impressive for a 2,500 kg vehicle.

Standard safety features included ABS, stability control, numerous airbags and whiplash-reducing front head restraints.
