Used BMW X6 for sale

What types of used BMW X6 cars are there?

The BMW X6 is a sleek alternative to options like the Porsche Cayenne and Mercedes GLE Coupé, first launching back in 2006.

There are plenty of engines on offer, including the diesel xDrive 30d and petrol xDrive 40i, with the diesel usually being the cheapest.

There’s also the fiery M50d that puts out 400hp, or the M50i that can hit 0-62mph in just 4.3 seconds.

There’s also a choice of trim levels, including the Sport, M Sport, and M Performance.

What features does the BMW X6 have?

The features in your BMW X6 model will depend on the trim level you choose, with the X6 Sport being the entry-level model.

In the Sport, you’ll get 19-inch alloy wheels, air suspension and LED headlights. You’ll also get the BMW Professional navigation system built in.

The M Sport model spices it up with additional uprated brakes, larger 21-inch wheels and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and matching digital driver's display.

The M Competition model ramps it up further and adds the option for 625hp with a V8 petrol engine.

Is the BMW X6 reliable? 

BMWs are well-built and high-quality, feeling truly solid on the road. The X6 benefits from this premium engineering and is a reliable car to own, with a reputation for keeping its drivers happy.

It’s worth noting that maintaining a luxury car like a BMW X6 might be pricier, as parts are premium and cost more. This does mean that repairs are usually few and far between as they’re built to last.

The BMW X6 is yet to be tested by Euro NCAP, but the closely related BMW X5 was awarded a full five-star safety rating – so that’s a good sign.

How much does the BMW X6 cost to run?

While the BMW X6 is a chunky SUV, it doesn’t have to be that pricey to run. The entry-level xDrive 30d will achieve up to 46.3mpg, and there are ways you can drive to save fuel.

Considering the speed and credentials of the BMX X6, it’s unsurprising that it sits in insurance groups 49-50. Road tax can be up to £570 per year.

Who is the BMW X6 suitable for?

A used BMW X6 is an ideal option if you need a large SUV but still want a luxury feel. For style-conscious families and those who need extra space, the sleek styling, impressive performance and kitted-out cabin will tick boxes.

There’s a 580-litre boot at the rear as well, and the cabin can easily seat up to five people.

The feisty engines make it a lot of fun to drive too, so you’ll enjoy it past its practical potential.
