The 2019-2025 BMW X6 M50i is a performance-oriented luxury SUV coupe featuring a twin-turbo 4.4L V8 producing 523 horsepower. Its distinctive sloped roofline creates a polarizing "coupe-SUV" silhouette that critics either love or hate. Reviewers praise its surprising athleticism, powerful engine, and premium interior, though many question the practicality of sacrificing cargo space and rear headroom for styling. The X6 has become infamous for pioneering the divisive SUV-coupe segment that prioritizes aesthetics over utility. It's particularly well-suited for affluent buyers who want sports-car performance in an elevated SUV package and don't need maximum practicality. Ideal for empty-nesters or couples who value bold styling, spirited driving dynamics, and luxury amenities. Its polarizing design remains a conversation starter, making it perfect for those seeking attention-grabbing exclusivity.
The X6 M50i features a high-strung twin-turbo V8 requiring premium fuel and expensive synthetic oil changes. Expect costly brake wear from performance components, pricey run-flat tires, and high insurance premiums. Carbon buildup on direct-injection engines may necessitate walnut blasting ($500-800). Generally reliable mechanically, but electronic gremlins and expensive BMW parts inflate ownership costs significantly.
