The Smooth Six-Cylinder Is Perfect! (BMW X6 2024 Review)
24,803
Published 2024-04-10
The BMW X6 is the coupe-SUV (or SAV) iteration of the BMW X5 large luxury SUV. It has a sloping roofline and vaguely more athletic styling. But it's still a substantial, heavy crossover.
Our test car has BMW's famed B58 petrol 3.0-litre engine with six inline cylinders. It's a good fit for the X6, which is a direct rival to the Mercedes GLE Coupe and Audi Q8.

You are good! 🫡 Nice review 👏 Appreciate much 👍
-
I like Your reviews, thanks for making this one as well.
-
Really great review thank you. I agree I much prefer I drive to alternative systems from Audi etc. Your comments and critical analysis of the limitations of the screen are so refreshing. Finally a motoring journalist really holding the brand accountable and actually critically reviewing the car. It is exactly why we watch these videos.

Have the X5. Such a smooth driving luxurious car.
-
thank you for doing the baby seat section. good content
-
Really enjoyed this smart video. Question: from the driver's side, did your left leg hit the door requiring you to adjust how you exit the car? I've heard that a bit. Thank you!
-
I need to get rich !!!! Awesome car!
-
Yeeesss, thank you for showing tablet attachment options for the back seat, for those of us with older kids. Quiet kids in the back seat… happy parents in the front seat😊. Keep this up with any car review, it’s a key thing I look for when watching car reviews (charging points, where I can attach an iPad stand).

Does a camera view come up on the actual screen for blind spot detection or only on the mirrors?
-
Great! Nice & crisp review with lots of practical points covered, Love from India 🇮🇳. Just to point out one more thing which needs mention and I really miss in my new X7 is absence of Electronic Child lock for the rear doors which are there in my Range Rover and even my Skoda Octavia!

There’s some who drove their x6 and while cruising at 50-60mph, or about 100km/h they notice a strange floating sensation and loses feel of the wheels. I know it’s electrically controlled but many complain the weird feeling is not natural unseen in other similarly priced luxury suvs. Just thought to let future x6 potential customers to test drive and make sure it’s okay with them. Oh sorry forgot to add this was only noticed in rim sizes at 21” or larger.

“Thats my 2 cents.” Showing your age now. I’d say my 2 Bobs worth. Lol

Get an m3 touring instead

Looks a bit strange.
-
too expensive.. All car price needs to come down.
-
I've never liked the shape of these cars. They look like giant slugs on wheels. Give me a sedan any day.
-
Nice front Tail not so good looking
-
This guy is hyper critical. A little too much. Ruins the viewing experience with the use of lack of positive language
