# 2020-2025 BMW X6 M Competition The BMW X6 M Competition is a high-performance "coupe-SUV" that pairs polarizing styling with extraordinary speed. Its twin-turbo 4.4L V8 produces 617 horsepower, rocketing this 5,000-pound vehicle to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds—supercar territory for an SUV. Reviewers praise its ferocious acceleration, surprisingly sharp handling, and luxurious interior, though criticize its firm ride, limited rear headroom, and reduced cargo space compared to the X5 M. The aggressive styling remains divisive. It's infamous for embodying automotive excess—a niche vehicle that sacrifices practicality for style and speed. The X6 M Competition suits affluent enthusiasts who want BMW M performance without compromising on luxury or all-weather capability, though traditional SUV buyers seeking utility should look elsewhere. It's a statement vehicle for those prioritizing performance and presence over pragmatism.
The X6 M Competition requires premium fuel and expensive consumables including high-performance tires ($2,000+/set) and carbon-ceramic brakes (over $10,000 replacement). Maintenance costs are substantial with complex twin-turbo V8 servicing. Insurance premiums run high due to performance classification. Generally reliable for a high-performance BMW, though electronic issues occasionally reported.
