Powertrains and Performance

The AWD 2008 X6 xDrive35i uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-6 that makes 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. BMW claims it goes from zero to 60 mph in the low 6-second range. The xDrive50i's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 packs a 400-hp punch with 450 lb-ft of torque. BMW estimates its 0-60 time to be 5.3 seconds. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control.

Safety

Standard on the 2008 BMW X6 are stability control, hill descent control, antilock disc brakes and active front head restraints. Also included are front-seat side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags. In the event of a rollover, a standard rollover sensor, integrated with the stability control system, activates both the curtain airbags and the seatbelt tensioners. The X6 also uses Dynamic Performance Control (DPC), a new torque distribution system that actively redirects power to each of the four wheels as needed to help with traction and directional stability.

Interior Design and Special Features

The interior of the BMW X6 is nearly identical to that of the X5, at least up front. The gauges, shift lever and center console are the same in appearance and quality in both models. The X6 gets standard leather upholstery and a sport steering wheel, as well as luxurious little touches such as cushions on either side of the center console to help protect knees. It is the rear passengers, however, who will bear the brunt of the X6's sweeping profile. A large center console restricts the backseat to two passengers, and the lower roof line knocks headroom down about 2 inches, which, for very tall passengers, turns the roof into a headrest. Legroom is adequate, but still feels somewhat cramped compared to the X5. That said, the seating is comfortable and supportive and measures up to the quality of other BMWs. Cargo space is sufficient at 60 cubic feet with the split rear seats folded down, but keep in mind that the X5 offers nearly 75 cubic feet by comparison.
