I actulally prefer x6 to x5. When you see this car in person you will appreciate it more. Great ground clearance, beastly rear, unique styling and more.

The grille actually looks proportionate on this car

[yerocjr]

I love mine. I've had all three generations. This is the best!!

[elkanamuthengi]

I like the styling of this car. Purely art.

[alexahadi]

BMW has done an outstanding job on the front of the car, however the back end really doesn't work with the front in my opinion

[sophalawson]

I love the styling it is a beast, sporty, classy and bold. I love the X models. BMW did it!!!

I had the GLE43 AMG Coupe. I now have a Q8 and I’m getting this one next. This one hands down beats them all.

The original X6 is still be best looking SUV-coupe there ever will be.

I customised grill lights on my 335i e90 2005 plate few years back and still works till this day it is a nice feature

[ilungilepotelwa]

I love it. Definitely would buy it without second thoughts...that's if I had the money for it

[steliosste]

Best reviews!!! I see for the q8 2024!!! Short videos with many details as throttle response, differences between previous models that matters ! Continue good job man !!

[LEARNINGMG]

Very well done!! Pretty much enjoyed all of it!

[dmpanis]

This is such a bloody awesome car! Terrific car! BMW engineering at its best!!!

[UD]

Wow somebody really tried to recreate the body line of the Pontiac Aztec with that rear end.

[herukhuti]

This to me has been one of the best rewiews of the x6.

[LeonardoDaveinci]

I love the look of the new X6. I actually prefer it over the X5.

[publiclypreaching]

finally new x6 videos on youtube. This is a beauty i needa see it in carbon black!

[samakamath]

This what the X6 should of looked like in the second Gen. I always felt that the x4 was a baby x6. Look at what we have now BMW is back on track and the truck looks beautiful. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[thezanzibarbarian]

Why is it that out of the growing band of coupé like SUV's, that it's only the X6 that seems to get bashed by reporters for being a coupé?
This 3rd generation of the X6 looks bloody well nice to me. I especially like the X6M50i version and after all, who wouldn't want a lit grill? :-))...

[howardturner]

Was a fan of gen 2, now a Real Fan of this 3rd gen. What's the ETA for the m6?
