How it scores for you10 scores
The original statement SUV still delivers pace and presence; N63 V8 upkeep and the roofline's practicality cut are the toll.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 7 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -5 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,650 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 10% of cars we track.
26.6 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 58% of other SUVs we track.
The original coupe-SUV compromise: decent width, compromised rear headroom versus the X5.
Defies physics for its mass — the X6 M especially — with genuine pace and grip for a 5,000-lb coupe-SUV.
Mid-2010s iDrive and options; well equipped then, dated now.
Plush highway manners and strong seats; firm on M Sport wheels.
Luxury brands like BMW tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 6,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
