2018 BMW X6 M - Very Much The Ultimate Driving SUV

BMW really challenged the definition of an SUV nearly a decade ago with the first X6. It shocked everyone with relatively strong sales and big profits for BMW. For generation two, BMW has evolved the look and its high performance M division has finally remembered that they build "The Ultimate Driving Machine". Its twin-turbo V8 makes 567 HP and will rocket this sports activity coupe to 60 MPH in under 4 seconds. Unlike most of it's competitors, the X6 M feels like a tall sport sedan in the corners. It's well worth a look if you have six figures to spend and need more space then your typical sports car.

[@nql9430]

Picking up this beauty later this week. Went to BMW to test drive the 4 series. Didn't even make it to the 4 series. Walked in and the X6 was sitting right there. A lot of people said to get the X5 but I love this X6. X5 is more like a family SUV. I'm married with no kids so I want something a little sporty. I'm petite (5'1 and 105 lb) so I don't have issue with the head room. I fell in love with it when we took it on the highway and went through the loop. OMG...you cannot go wrong with this car. It has everything you ever need and more. I'm a life long fan of Acura and Lexus but switching for the 1st time. :)

[@shmoofgang]

I'm curious how this thing is so heavy yet almost as fast as an F10 M5 on a sprint to 60mph. Very impressive! Is it a combination of the AWD, hot inner V configuration , & BMW's refined 8speed?

Some of these comments are just silly...smh All this talk about reliability. Most luxury car buyers are not keeping these cars putting 50-100K miles on them. Also most modern cars are more reliable than the previous years. Most of the car videos are kids parroting things they've read or overheard, but have no real world experience with any of these vehicles. Everyone is not going to buy a Lexus, Toyota and/or Honda. Just get over it.

[@hsbthree]

Amen...I have a 2016 BMW X5 M Sport ....not one single problem .....ever.

[@hjlee303]

You are so right about it. Before I purchased my 2018 x6 50i, I went through a lot of reviews and compare this car with a lot of others in the similar price range, so at least I was aware of the exhaust sound, the power, the maintenance fees, insurance costs and so forth. MB interior design is full of "shiny metal circles" and believe me, they are not as beautiful (except the AMG S63, difference price range though). As for the operation, reliability and durability, I can't say much since it is my first BMW. I totally love this vehicle I have to say. Then, 5 month after I got my car, I bought my son a BMW M4, it's a very different car and offer us a different driving experience. So I don't understand why people say all BMW are the same. Again, love your comment. Thanks!

[@MeetTheGays]

Agree! I own 3 BMW's, the oldest being my daughters 2014 bmw 328i and all have been very reliable.

I've always been a BMW enthusiast, and love this car too. Unfortunately, 100K is out of my price range for any vehicle. It's nice, but just don't see the point of spending that on a car. Again, very nice vehicle. Great review as usual. Perhaps X4 is what I'll have to consider.

[@matthewmajestic1013]

Personally I think the X6M is a solid performance SUV for ones money, however I really don't want to say this but the sound of BMW M's 4.4 liter Twin Turbo charged V8 doesn't really have the desire V8 sound for me through the exhaust system. I would like to ask this question for people who have owned or currently own the X6M, is the sound of V8 better in person then what we hear through video audio?, thank you!. As an AMG person I will honestly say that the X6M is well worth its price tag, the interior, the exterior, and the performance can be justified by it!, granted I've never driven the car.

[@bohou76]

AMG_CivicKindaguy 101 I would say it sounds louder at start up than in the video much more. It’s cool even I’m using start stop in efficient mode in traffic too. Gets a fair amount of attention. My gf owns a 17 x5m. However the trans is jerky when you start to move from the mimicking of a dct. Gets worse on a hill start. See sofyans start for example. Good car but def not worth the money.

[@matthewmajestic1013]

Stephen Hou hey thanks for your input!😀, I have to say though I slighty disagree with your opinion about the X6M price and worth, I only say it’s worth the price because of the brand, the power you get, what class the vehicle falls in and the demand for the X6M, oh also it still has a solid interior, it’s just not as updated as say Audi’s interiors with their virtual cockpit, none the less it’s a BMW and M product so you pay for the name, performance, and amenities that come with this SAV🤓

[@saobx3956]

If it's anything like the X5 M, which I'm sure it is, I can vouch that it's great to drive.

[@matthewmajestic1013]

Andy Olarra honestly I’ll like both the X6M and X5M but if I was forced to choose one I’d take the X5M, mostly because you have a little more headroom in the rear for storage as well as rear passengers, as for price well they both cost over 100k brand new, I’m not sure about used, they probably go for about 80k-90k used?, and I can’t compare powertrain/drivetrain, since they are the same, and sound, but the X5M is probably more desirable by people who are looking at sports performance SAV’s/SUV’s🤔

[@DarkKnightM3]

AMG_CivicKindaguy 101 the x6m is very tame from the stick exhaust configuration. My e63 Amg was an absolute dream to hear. I have test drive the new x5m and loved the exhaust note.
