Overview & Reviews

The BMW X6 is an all-new model for 2008. Despite having a name numerically higher than the X5, the X6 isn't any bigger. Instead, this four-person, performance-themed crossover features coupelike styling, a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and a potent range of engines.

• Capable handing, comfortable and roomy front seats, sophisticated new traction/stability technology, optional burly twin-turbo V8.

• Hefty curb weight considering its sporting mission, somewhat cramped rear seating, limited cargo space, inflated price.

  Flashy headache - 2008 BMW X6
  By MrObjective - September 24 - 9:00 am

  Sure, it gets attention, but I wish more attention had been given to practical design. Its nearly impossible to see out of the rear window making reverse a dangerous exercise. The rear view camera display states to "never rely solely on camera" when thats exactly what the driver must do. Side vision is also hampered by the steep drop off of the front fenders--the driver cant tell see the outboard edge of the car. The liftgate has two opening heights, but getting past the low one is fiddly at best, making loading anything back there a long reach into a shallow slit opening. Super- expensive tires. People will look at you, alright, but Id rather the car be more user friendly.
