What was it really? A hatchback? An SUV? A crossover? Well, all of them. A jacked-up hatchback with a very precise steering and ridiculous power.
Sure, everything sounds nice, but it had to come with some compromises: limited cargo space and seating for four.
Not a practical or versatile vehicle, but a great option for passionate drivers.
The X6M was developed by the BMW’s Motorsport division and featured a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that cranked out no less than 555 hp, and that’s 5 hp more than the engine on the Caynne Turbo S.
Interesting for a crossover, the X6M drove like a sports sedan and was equipped with 20-inch alloys and a special-sport-tuned adaptive suspension.
The X6M offered seating for 4 and featured an ample list of standard features such as 20-inch alloys, a self-leveling electronically adjustable active suspension, front and rear parking sensors, xenon headlamps, headlight washers, a power liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, Bluetooth connectivity and a hard-drive-based navigation system with real-time traffic.
Optional features included soft-close automatic doors, ventilated seats, heat steering wheel, heated rear seats, a rearview camera, a head-up display, a 16-speaker premium sound system, keyless entry, a rear-seat entertainment system and towing preparation.
Only 4,8 seconds in the sprint to 100 km/h was impressive for a 2,500 kg vehicle.
Standard safety features included ABS, stability control, numerous airbags and whiplash-reducing front head restraints.
