2009 BMW X6 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a reviewThe initial unveiling of BMW's X6 "sports-activity coupe" crossover provoked much skepticism in the auto press. Journalists saw it as an awkward marriage of "coupe" (the sloping roof - but do five doors make a coupe?) and SUV (which BMW already has - the X3 and X5). However, one can't help but notice that as the initial concept has moved closer to reality, journalistic skepticism has begun to morph into racer-boy enthusiasm.
This has been especially so since BMW has confirmed the powerplants for the two trim levels. The xDrive35i motivates via a 300-hp, 3.0-liter twin turbo inline-six. The excitement, however, comes under the hood of the xDrive50i, where a new BMW engine lurks. The 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 produces 400 hp with 450 foot-pounds of torque. This new engine uses direct fuel injection and a unique system for packaging the turbos, with a turbo for each cylinder bank and their catalytic converters set in the center of the block, between those cylinder banks. This not only makes the turbos more efficient by shortening their runners, but it also makes the engine more compact. Look for more V8-capable BMW models to make use of this engine in the future. It also makes for one very fast "sports-activity coupe," with the 0-60 blast done in 5.3 seconds, which is only four-tenths of a second slower than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
But the technological innovation doesn't end under the hood. With the X6, BMW is also introducing a new drive management system: Dynamic Performance Control (DPC). The X6 comes standard with BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, which defaults to a 40/60 front/rear torque split. DPC, however, adds an electronically controlled rear differential that through the use of two planetary gear sets and two clutch packs directs additional torque to either rear wheel to help steer the X6. This helps on different road surfaces and to quell understeer, since it can send torque to the outside rear wheel in a turn. This system was first developed for Formula 1 racing; some reviewers find it similar in theory to Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive. Look to see this system adapted to other BMW models in the future, too. Other features are Adaptive Drive, which adjusts the suspension to suit road conditions, and Adaptive Steering, which quickens low-speed response.
The interior offers 11 leather options to match 10 exterior color choices with X6-exclusive ash-grain wood trim. Brushed aluminum finish is also available in the cabin, with sport seats up front and two individually molded rear seats. With the back seats up, it offers 26 cubic feet of cargo space. Flip them down to get 60 cubic feet. Standard shift paddles sit on the sport steering wheel as one way to shift the six-speed automatic transmission.
A full-hybrid gas/electric powertrain option will be available for 2010. BMW claims this will get about 20% better fuel economy than the standard model. Both models will be built in BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina, plant.

I am a real fan of BMW automotive brand. German built cars in general, BMW specifically. I have been working on BMW vehicles, owning them and fixing them. In other words, I know this brand inside and out. I love the technology that goes into these vehicles. I love the thought and engineering. The only draw-back is cost of maintenance and parts. But I guess one has to pay for in order to have the BEST.Jun 25, 2013

i like its shape everything about this car.its is obviously four wheel drive.it has an
automatic open dashboard.it has computer in it and much more.its look like a f1 car
racing steering wheel.it has a good suspension.it is fun to drive this car.but there is
seat for only 4 people or five.it is not comfortable and it has a low roof because of
its sporty look.this is not even good in snow.it has a good gear.very impressive.
over all it is a conjusted car.range rover is much a all rounder than bmw x6.Dec 04, 2010

Beste SUV ever!! Met adaptive drive rijd hij subliem en dit met 20"velgen. net terug van Oostenrijk en gemiddeld verbruik van maar 11liter ondanks min 160à200geblazen, dus valt reuze mee. Is wel maar een wagen met vier plaatsen maar dat weet je als je hem koopt. Jan 08, 2009

Very comfortable for a tall driver like myself with great novo looks, sportiness and a lot of technology. Ample space/storage for a small family (1-4). Have been able to store a $500 plus purchase at Sams Club, as well as other big ticket items (flat tv) thks to back seats folding capability.
Do note that check engine light went on after first gas stop; gas door tricky to close in order to prevent this.Jan 04, 2009

Beautifull car with very powerful engine. it's a 3.0 l biturbo diesel with 286 hp ! the handling for such a big car is unbelievable. It's got a sixspeed automatic transmission with handles at the wheel to change gears manually. only negative: if you order one, there's a waiting list of one year...Aug 19, 2008
