xDrive50i (2014-2019)

Can you afford a 2014-2019 BMW X6 xDrive50i in 2025?

# 2014-2019 BMW X6 xDrive50i The X6 xDrive50i is BMW's controversial "Sports Activity Coupe"—a performance-oriented crossover blending SUV utility with coupe styling. Powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 445 horsepower, it delivers impressive acceleration (0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds) and surprisingly dynamic handling for its size. Reviewers praise its powerful engine, luxurious interior, and aggressive styling, though critics note the sloped roofline sacrifices rear headroom and cargo space compared to the X5. It's infamous for pioneering the divisive "coupe-SUV" segment that prioritizes style over practicality. **Best suited for:** Affluent buyers wanting performance and presence without a traditional sports car or full-size SUV. Ideal for empty-nesters or couples who value driving dynamics and bold styling over maximum utility. Strong towing capacity (6,000 lbs) adds versatility.

The X6 xDrive50i features BMW's twin-turbo V8, requiring premium fuel and expensive maintenance. Expect costly repairs for turbos, cooling systems, and the complex xDrive AWD. Insurance runs high due to performance classification and repair costs. Reliability is below average for the class. Plan for $2,000+ annual maintenance beyond basic services.
