I have had the 40d MSport (with toys added) for 2 years, 20, 000 miles and easily achieve over 33 mpg mixed driving. >45 mpg on long run in Eco mode

Love the review Rebecca you’ve made my weekend and it’s only just Friday 😘

[amanikowero]

40i with air suspension is the sweet spot

[MichaelBosley]

The back end looks like when you push down on a tall sandwich and all the layers start spilling out.

M50i, great sound, good performance 😎

[warakanda]

White interior.. i hate it..🥴 But this variant is great. Very convincing short and clear presentation. Really awesome, thanks👍

I bought one a couple of weeks ago, and I find the ride/handling just fine.

Great Review Rebecca and have a Good Weekend.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

Wow!! I wonder how ambitious one has to be with the new X6M given the one you drove is right off the mark in performance stats.

Hi Rebecca. Thank you for another honest and balanced review.

[dimitarmargaritov]

My favorite SUV, I am hoping to get one in couple of years or so.

4 turbos? Good luck when that 3 year warranty runs out. Mugs.

White or cream leather can discolour.. much prefer black.. great car though. Good review Rebecca!

[jonny]

I like it. I wouldn't/ couldn't buy one but it's still pretty nice

[neoanderson]

Great to see you’re reviewing more sporty vehicles than before.
I never understood this trend of monster SUV’s being “coupes”. But as you stated in your review, there are people buying these things.. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Hope to see you soon in actual sports cars. 👍🏻👏🏻

I'm picking mine up in 3 more sleeps.. ill let you know. Going to miss my range sport dynamic

I dont really like it. My big problem is there is a Range Rover Sport already waiting for me. Its how can I say more of an SUV. Inside you feel taller and more like a tank, the turning radius is better, lookswise it might just be one of the only suvs that look good. The ride is better, softer. The engine is more responsive because ot doesnt have turbos its a supercharger, no turbo lag. The only thing the X6 has is handling. But its not like the sport handles bad. Its actually has some over steer and very little body roll for 2.4 tons. The x6 is a little sharper but who cares? Its an suv!

Not a big fan of the vehicle but girl damn your voice ❤️

BMW post sale in my country is shame for the brand!!
I have 7 series for 7 years.. Spent in official dealership for services and maintenance more than 25 000 $.
BMW never gave me replacement vehicle. Never! Not even once!
Btw my car spent more than 700 days is service in that last 7 years.
Best thing: i asked BMW in my country how much would they give me for my perfectly maintened 7 Series BMW if i buy new BMW they said : nothing! We are not interested in taking your car into account. Really depressing..
Never again BMW 7 Series!
