BMW X6 (08 on) - Review Review by Kieren Puffett on 20 May 2008 Last Updated: 15 October 2009 The BMW X6 aims to combine the high driving position of a 4x4, the sporty design of a coupe and the performance of a sports car. It's certainly less bulky than the X5 it's based on, but still has plenty of road presence while the distinctively sculpted body stands out from every angle. And on the road it is as good to drive as it looks but although it has better body control than the X5 it feels little different from behind the wheel and is perhaps not as sporty as BMW would have you believe. Of course it isn't as spacious either, especially in the back where the sloping roofline limits headroom but it comes with some superb engines - including the wonderful twin turbo diesel in the 35d. 4 out of 5 Other BMW reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £46,740 - £85,710 View all new prices Used price range: £22,454 - £66,110 View all used prices Get a BMW X6 (08 on) information pack Next steps BMW X6 cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
