Car Releases2013 BMW X6 and X6M Preview | Marie-Laurence PaquinJune 10, 2013Pros and Cons*ProsSurprisingly superb combination of comfort and driving pleasure, precise steering, leading-edge technology, choice of powerful engines and impeccable fit and finish are a few of the strong points of the 2013 BMW X6. ConsLimited visibility, thirsty engines, cumbersome size and weight as well as its limited cargo room spoil some of the charm. PriceThe BMW X6 xDrive 35i starts at $66,800.The selling price of the xDrive 50i starts at $82,200.The X6 M version has a $102,900 MSRP. * These prices apply to 2014 modelsFuel EconomyFuel economy ratings for the 6-cylinder engine are estimated at 13.1 L/100 km city and 8.6 L/100 km highway.The V8 powered xDrive 50i consumes 15.3 L/100 km city and 9.9 L/100 km highway.The powerful (and thirsty) X6 M consumes an estimated 16.9 L/100 km city and 11.9 L/100 km highway.Exterior StylingThe muscular X6 is built from the X5 platform design. The chopped-off styling of its steeply raked rear end and the dual-exhaust tips combine with its muscular front end to create a truly unique vehicle. The M version has quadruple exhaust tips and 20-inch wheels. DrivetrainThe xDrive35i is powered by a 3.0 litre turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine that produces 300 hp and 300 lb-ft torque.Under the hood, the xDrive 50i has a twin-turbo V8 that produces 400 hp and 450 lb-ft torque.These first two engine choices deliver power to the wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission.

It delivers this power through a 6-speed automatic transmission.Cargo CapacityThe BMW X6 can hold between 70 and 1,450 litres of cargo.
